To be fair, they are only sustaining chords there...if I'm thinking of the right spot.
Hank originally wrote the piece for 4 trombones. When we couldn't find a player, I reached out to Marc and transposed the whole thing into F with very slight changes. It may have done well as a trumpet section too, but as a former Horn player myself I knew it was in the sweetspot range (and am admittedly biased) . We were also running kinda low on time so I made an executive call to just get the thing done.
If we're talking about the Dating Melody over the Bonetrousle battery, I think @Bowlerhat meant the part right before - the initial synth entrance. I stand by what I said about mixing Dating melodies.
Hmm. We usually have a fairly lengthy process and spend a good amount of time on levels, so what you're hearing is likely deliberate. I'm really starting to wonder about what people think we "should" be doing.
ALSO we're about to move the entire studio so this is definitely something I want to pay extra attention to moving forward!
