Great track for auditions or whisper-to-a-roar performances. Here's what I did to this one:
1. Deleted main vocal track
2. pitched down a half-step for better access to that end high note (!)
3. Edited the big finish on to the end of the first chorus so this one goes from the nice ballad first part, to a nice clean chorus to the big rocking section at the end.
4. Pitched one of the hits right before the big finish down a half step to make the transposition more graceful
5. Added back in the Chorus vocals to the big end section
6. Built in a gradual tempo increase of about 5 beats per minute to get that high note a little shorter and fit this in to 2 minutes exactly without losing the nice, slow opening.
7. Added 3 tympani hits at the very beginning to establish the time so the vocalist can come in right with the downbeat of the track.
