HOLY FUUUCK!!! :D

I _really_ like that! The way you worked the train whistle into the li'l crescendo there was BRAIN-BLOWINGLY PERFECT!! When I listened to it on headphones, that bit sent shivers up my spine. Literally!

And did you fiddle with the train audio any? It sounds a bit interestingly distorted.

BTW, congratulations on creating the very first audio fanart I've ever recieved! ;)

If there's any distortion to the sound, it probably came from converting the from .flv to .wav format.

To make the engine sounds: I started with the revving locomotive, and trimmed it slightly for length. From another video clip of a passing train, I found a particular rattling car that, when looped, sounded almost like mechanical breathing. As the sequence progressed, I shortened the loop, as if it was breathing faster.

Now that I listen again, I think the locomotive engine sound cuts out too soon. I had another horn laid into the mix, and it seems to have gotten lost when I mixed down. Might need to adjust the mix a little; just about everything came close to clipping!

Like I said, this is a VERY rough draft. Next to add: A voice track. "Chase me, Stupid."

No, I meant *good* distortion, like you described; making the train sound more unearthly.

Yeah, more choo-choo noises would be good. Are you planning to do the whole song like this?

I very much look forward to hearing your take on Max's voice. :)

There's plenty more sounds to choose from. A train can be a complete symphony in and of itself.

I plan to work out the whole chase scene, not just the song. Only one voice is really needed, that of Max. I'll try my voice; not sure how to go about auditioning people via FurAffinity.

The whole thing? Sweeeet. I love this song for it not just because of the fast pace and emotion, but the lyrics fit pretty well too.

I'm not sure whether I could do Max either. I tried just now and it really did not sound right.

Bad news about this work: I"m going to have to start over. Glad I have this much to refer to.

Shortly after FurAffinity went down, the computer I worked on this with crapped out. I was able to recover the source files, but not the program needed to construct all this.

So, different program, different computer, and start over.

I noticed something else after re-reading that chapter of the story - I need to re-think quite a bit of the script for this audio play, so it's going to be very different from this draft!

Yipes; I just now noticed this post when I sent a fellow SVOTLD fan to this link!

And it's totally okay; I have always been patient when it comes to people doing stuff like this. I know that art can take time, and rushing it often sours it. I know the end product will kick tons of ass. ^__^

When you get this thing up again, I think you should start off by having someone saying, "Yo momma was a handcart", followed by an angry train whistle. That would rock my balls off.

Tee hee!

The only question is who to do the voice of Max... Tara Strong maybe?

GACK! NO! I'd insist on an actual male voice actor the same age as Max. Whenever grownup women voice little boys, I can't help but notice it too much and it kinda breaks the fourth wall.

Really? I was really surprised when I found out...

<shrug> Nancy Cartwright and Christine Cavanaugh are good voice actors, but when i hear Bart or Chuckie, I think 'lady doing a kid's voice' instead of 'actual kid's voice'.

Alright then- Morgan Freeman!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.

Getting serious, maybe Jason Lee (the voice of Syndrome from "The Incredibles"). That's how I imagined Max's voice. And Don LaFontaine can be the voice of Thanatos.

Naw, again, it'd have to be a kid close to Max's own age. And how could you not catch on that Thanatos is David Bowie!? ;)

Whoh, that's a WAY cooler idea!

Plus, Don LaFontaine died four days ago... I just read about it yesterday. What a shame; he was such a talented man!

Oh, I know! Don was the MAN! Glad to see that a lot of people finally got a look at him via that Geico ad.
