Link to Rough Mix of Passion Play
5 Notes on this rough mix.
1. Priest 1 hasn't been recorded yet.
2. This track has no special effects or finished editing.
3. The music and voices haven't been balanced and some will have significant altering. Use just for timing. The music is also much lower than it will be in the theater.
4. This is NOT what it will sound like in the theater as reverb and other effects have not been added yet.
5. We are so excited for the future! You will notice that the readings are much faster and more natural.
