Hi stu I feel that PeteH’s volume works best around 40% to 50%, rather than full.

OK. We can adjust volume and mix when all the tracks are in

Added my parts MP3 for now, just for a rough idea of what I want the final mix to be. Let me know your honest opinion. Twelve tracks in all. I don't think I can separate them easily. I need to figure out what to show on the video, maybe me just conducting the orchestra, haha.

Fantastic work on the mix! It sounds really good. I just noticed two parts where the volume seems a bit too low: 1:372:01 and 2:413:11. Maybe bringing those up a little would make it even better. What do you think? And your idea of conducting in the video cracked me up — I love it!

@yoshikoba: I raised those two sections and compressed the whole track a little. Now if I fix the end, I'll be happy. Thanks for the input.
