Act 1 = just in the Prologue is my take too.

Thanks, Todd
I dialed it back a bit, and have a compressor between the mixer and the computer. :studio_microphone:

Act 1 is perfectly PL OK! :thumbs:

Only one small note for Act 3:

0:37 - I hear "long" instead of "love"

Also, make sure you're keeping an eye on file names - it's pretty minor in this case, but you've labelled the second file as Act 2 instead of Act 3.

Thanks!

Right you are - I shall have to watch my attention to detail. :oops:

Play all assembled save for two missing lines and one still unclaimed role. Not ready for final PL yet.

You all sound great in this!

This would be a great play to see - lottsa physical gags, and a great musical finale spectacle in the last act.

Thanks, Todd

I would like to try the zodiack. I was looking at the text; Is it just the one song when the "zodiack descends" or is there more after that (or before that)? is it also the song when "the globe of the moon appears"?
Thanks!

PS. I have to confess, I checked your edited act 3 to see what's missing, but the songs are all there, so now I'm confused. :mrgreen:

Thank you. Now we are full.

Yes, the songs are there in the draft, chanted by Stentor who is the Master of Ceremonies at that point. But I want to mix in another voice for the choruses to make it a big finishing extravaganza. So any place in that act where there is a song-like thing to chant, please record that, and I'll mix in as the spirit moves me.

Thanks, Todd

I tried to follow along and did some mixing in an attempt to match your vision, here:

but if that doesn't work, here's a single voice recording to play with:

Of course, I am available for a new recording if needed.

Act 3 is ready for final PL.

You may want to wait until I have Acts 1 and 2 ready so as to follow the story better in sequence. That's fine with me. Or, just bask in the confusion!

Thanks, Todd
