Ok, so here's another version. The only thing I did since last day was give it a general mastering treatment. Just tossed some sugar on it
But I did alot more to the previous version:
- Eq'd the belltones (the main sound in the opening)
- Changed how the strings come in around 30s. Some people think this should be bass.. but actually its just synth without much going on in low end frequencies directly
- tried to make the flutes sound a bit more aural... I want it to sound clean but also like it was being played by a forrest animal quartet.. if that makes any sense lol
- general eq's all around
- into the second drop I added some extra transitions and eq'd the whole section. I didn't add any extra effects to this section because for me its the holding on that note that makes the next part that comes in much sweeter.
- made several little anal changes...
Thats about all I can remember

I've been tormented by this one for days and weeks now... hopefully this can be closer to a finished product. I'll leave her alone for a few days and let me ears heal themselves and let my mind absolve itself of memory of this song so that I can take another objective listen... Then I'll probably submit it to :)
Thanks again all, let me know what you think :)
