You're the master of the mix board, my friend. Thanks for incorporating others' mixes, that's awesome and trying one out with Griffin's voice. I dig it. The hope/future punch at the end extends it beyond our personal experience, but if it doesn't make the cut... whatcha gonna do?
RegularJOE - if there's hope for the child's voice I can play with Griffin on getting a smoother take. If the choppiness is the bump in the audio road. If it's the concept all together, no worries.
I'm really liking how this is sounding. Can I ask you to go even further in this direction?
I want to focus you on when we can make out the voices of INDIVIDUALS. I think it should only happen rarely.
From the beginning of the piece, I don't think there should be any lines at all where you can make out the voices of individuals until "But you have sparks of divinity". So for that whole first 47 seconds, add more voices, either from Todd's mix or yours, or turn up the computer voice.
Then even after the "divinity" line, try being very selective about which lines have so few voices that you can start to make out individuals. I think the vast majority of the piece should have more voices and/or be heavier on the computer voice.
So it really stands out when the number of voices gets fewer.
Last little thing, while I love the fact that there's tiny kids RECording the words "and a new earth", I think it's distracting in this context, so I'd lose it.
