Day 62: More Parts

     Today, I did mostly as planned; I got a second flute part into the mix, and it sounds great. I actually made it a bit more complex than I thought I would but it is still somewhat simple. I also added in a second trumpet part to follow in the lead of the first part. The first part plays 2 eighth notes leading into a half note, whereas the second part does the opposite, playing a half note into two eighth notes. It makes for a full arpeggio while having a bit of harmony in between. I haven't really added any new instruments into the mix, as I think it sounds fine for now as it is. I may end up adding something later however, depending on whether or not I want to add another sound into a later part of the song. Other than that, I put in a tuba part that adds a bit of a bass tone, which gives a cool, almost epic sound. I might need to reduce the volume on the tuba part a little bit, as I don't want it to be too overpowering.

     I haven't added a percussion part yet, as I don't know how I am going to make it work. What I want is a roll on a crash symbol that gets louder as it goes towards the end. I can't seem to figure it out just with the plugins that I have for FL right now, so I might need to look for some VST plugins that could work. Overall, the piece is currently sounding awesome, just that a few things are to be played with a little bit. Next day I work on this, I will be looking for a plugin to use for percussion, and I will probably be able to add some more instruments into the mix as well. Other than that, there's not much else. See you in the new year!
