It's "A Joyful Noise"

The new tune, "He's Out There", is now live on the site, uploaded and installed yesterday. That's exciting. The second tune!

Last night, I decided to do some gear shifting. I've been good at that lately. There has been a lot of finishing of the rockers, most of which were just vocals away from the final mix. So, I decided to work on a softer tune, one that needs some more work.

So, I picked "Toy Soldiers". I'd hoped to get John in to play a trumpet part, but he didn't bring his horn and needed to have some more family time, anyway. So Morey came over and cut the REAL snare part. I'd been running with this cheesy snare sample playing this looped, semi-military beat. Cadences, you know... It just sounded bad. The sample was lame, the programming was lame. It was just crying out, "FIX ME!"

So, we did.

And it really took the song to a higher level. It set it up where I wanted it to be. This tune is really gonna work, and I'm stoked to help it along.
