 * Learning by doing Digital Audio (Basics Part 2)**

Sunrise The original song was very nice. I liked many elements of the song in its entirety. I tried to limit the song to 1 minute but I found the song to busy for such a short duration. My first attempt at the remixed ended in a song that lost its integrity. It became more of a soundtrack or sampler.

There was valuable knowledge gained in the first endeavor. I stripped away some of the busyness of the song and discovered a folk appeal that I wanted to accentuate on a remix of a most of the full version.

I liked the vocals and harmonies so I arranged the instrumentals around the vocals. I also discovered a baseline that seemed to be lost in the original mix. I used the harmony and the baseline for an introduction to depict the sun beginning to rise. I increase the predominance of this harmony throughout the song in order to try to stimulate a visual effect. I also preserved the instrumentals but lowered the equalization in different parts of the song depending on which instruments I wanted to use to accentuate the vocals. I also cut out the drum track – a judgment call that I believe was a good one in this particular remix.I also rearranged the song break on all instrumentals - it was quite the task utilizing limited knowledge on the software.

For some reason the 8 hhz file has a better rendering of the introduction.
