Thanks for listening. To clear any confusion there might be going about: I do not own a Mellotron, nor have I ever even seen one. Very sad!
The cello is of course the M-Tron samples. I just held the note (an E) out while I was recording using Audacity. (I love that program.) I then cut the speed of playback in half twice in a row (Audacity has a change speed "effect.") I then pasted it into the mix which was a separate file and tweaked the envelope until I got something I liked at the time. (The weakness of audacity is that there are no faders or pan knobs to mess with in real time to tweak an already existing track.) I'm thinking the releases of the cello sound could have been longer, more gradual.
For "Wish" I do want something more too. I'm considering making two different takes on this idea. The first: a clarinet choir piece for our clarinet choir here at Fresno State. The second: some sort of moody and wistful "pop" (not pop but my colleagues here in the music department would call it such) tune, with fairly standard rock instrumentation and Mellotron approached in the same manner as I did here.
Thanks again!
