Love You Like I Do - Production Part 2

Continuing on with the production of this track, we now have a rough arrangement sequenced in. The arrangement was created in the newly released Logic Pro X Digital Audio Workstation software.
While working with the singer, the arranger & songwriters figured the key was not ideal and settled on a key two semitones above the original. This key seems to suit the singer's vocal range much better and she too feels much more comfortable singing the song.

Have a listen to the rough arrangement here. This does not include the vocals but is in the new key. There are eventually going to be a lot of electronic elements but for now the foundational elements have been laid down. The idea is to keep it simple and commercially viable but also introduce something unique to the genre.

Hanz has used a lot of third party software instruments in this arrangement. Mainly East West Quantum Leap Pianos, East West Symphonic Orchestra for all the string section parts and Addictive Drums for the acoustic drums. We don't plan on replacing these instruments with real recordings so we will be spending a lot of time fine tuning the sound to achieve more realism. Probably the only 'real' instrument we will record is an acoustic guitar.
