Please read the Description!

So. It's done, guys, IT'S FINALLY DONE! The entirety of this cover was recorded live, save for the Percussion. I've been working on it since June, but after countless hours and HOURS of recording, It was finally completed in all its 168 track glory~

This one is just like that One-mare string orchestra cover I did, Except for the fact that I had two lovely people to help me with this one~

If you're wondering how I did this, well..
Back when I was working on the Acoustic Orchestral cover of Smile Smile Smile, I learned that It's the differences between each player's sound that give it that rich, orchestral tone. Each player has a different style, and a different instrument too, giving off a variety of sound. What I did here, was record each track using a slight alteration, whether it be using a different violin/cello, adding string mutes, switching the strings themselves, using a different bow, Recording at different distances from the mic, and so forth! The key thing here was patience. Every note had to be in tune, and in sync with all the others. In other words, It was a HUGE pain to record. XD

And if anyone finds amusement listening to me rant..
Have I mentioned how big of a pain this was to do? First of all. The cello parts. If I played them any lower than I did, they would have been drowned out by the all the other higher pitched parts. So, I had to avoid all the lower strings (C, G, and D) and play the entire part on A String. Especially considering how the notes on a cello are further apart than those of a violin, a LOT of shifting was needed. And when I say a lot, I mean a whole LOT. Thing is, when you have to do that same thing over and over again, you start to get sick of it. Just a liiiiittle bit. The violin parts were decent this time, and were fairly easy to record. The same goes for piano. Fast and efficient~ Now. For the solo parts.. Those were the worst out of the whole song. I'm well aware that they aren't completely Dead-on in tune, and that the tempo might be slightly off at a few points. But.. after multiple takes for each bar, I um.. kind of gave up.
Although, I suppose I could say that I'm quite proud. Proud that I made it out of this alive. XD

And, I know that some of you are going to ask me for sheet music... But when have I ever had sheet music for you guys? I'm an awful person who never writes out proper sheet music. I know. Feel free to pester me about it. XD
( In case you haven't caught the implications, I don't have sheet music for this. Sorry! :c )
