Tempo
Have arrived at the actual tempo - 108 bpm - slowing it right down and leaving huge amounts of space for the strings. This is the first run of many to really dial it in and see where the voices sit - no mixing - just a little panning and the occasional clam...
And who knew - Guinness Black Lager - never seen it before - weird but strangely good...
Back after a lazy labor day weekend (yes - American spelling but it is their holiday ya' know!) and already fighting the heat. 101 yesterday, promising to be 106 later today - so - up early and getting stuff done before it gets too hot. I really like this tempo - 107 bpm for the piece and may end up using it although the track sounds good at 67 / 134 bpm too - it's somewhere in that range. I'm still working out the form of the piece - there are two distinct halves and I have yet to really define the front half. The string melody is well established but this is the first time I'm working it up with the reason string patch so it may take a little while to dial it in.
This clip looks at the transition between the two halves - very basic at the moment but should sound pretty good when it's done.

Ok - so now we're up at the target tempo - although I think I'm actually going to play it at 57 bpm - create much more space in between the beats
Having played with the strings earlier this week I can hear how the right hand melody is going to work and I'm pretty pleased with how it is turning out, this is just the piano track from Reason.
