I believe that this

will be the final version of this tune, at least for a few weeks. I have worked on it randomly throughout the last few days, so definitely check out the 2 posts before this so you can see the changes I made. I chopped all the instruments in the Chorus out, and replaced them with some spacier harmonies, but without a bass part, which I think worked really well. I also added some sounds for transitioning between parts, which definitely brought the whole thing together. I also grouped the parts this time, with a Verse, Chorus, and Transition section to keep things organized.

Listen to Starlit here.

In the Chorus Group (Blue),

there are 2 new instruments, Chorus Beep and Chorus Diads. I have attached screenshots of the full progressions below, from the 2nd Chorus. The first one is still short, only 4 bars instead of the 16 of the latter. These spacey, floaty sounds worked much better and sound a lot less cheesy than what I had before. I think they really brought the song together and made things flow nicely.

Chorus Beeps, full 16 bars.

Chorus Diads, full 16 bars.

Finally we have the new

transition group, which is made up of 3 different audio samples that I slowed down a bit and reversed to build up into sections. The first 2 are used together into the 2nd Chorus, and the Outro, while the 3rd sound goes into our 1st Chorus and the final Verse. This sound worked really well with the high, descending Eb and D in the Chorus Diads track to make an awesome move into the last Verse.
