[S6E11] Can I Do It On My Own

[Smilley]

Obligatory song thread. I think we got another duet coming.

[RD1042]

We need a Trio function for that :)

[rainbowderpy]

lyrics are done and in the owncloud folder.
[spoiler][Fluttershy]
Everypony has times in their lives
When their hearts are filled with doubt

[Zephyr Breeze]
Frustration builds up inside
And it makes you want to shout

[Rainbow Dash]
But if you just take that first step
The next one will appear

[Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash]
And you find you can walk, then run
Then fly...!
Into the stratosphere
You've got to give it your best
So you can pass the test
Give it everything that you've got
And we know you can win
You just have to begin
Have to give it your very best shot

[Zephyr Breeze]
There are times when you want to give up
When you think that you can't go on

[Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash]
But if you fight through with all of your might
You will find that you can't go wrong
That you could do it all along

[Fluttershy]
Everypony has times in their lives
When their hearts are filled with doubt

[Rainbow Dash]
But if you just give it your all
You'll start to work it out

[Zephyr Breeze]
And I know I can't give up too soon
Get myself in the zone
And I find I can walk, then run

[Fluttershy, Zephyr, and Rainbow Dash]
Then fly...!

[Zephyr Breeze]
I can do it on my own

[Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash]
You can do it on your own

[Zephyr Breeze]
I can do it on my own
I can do it on my own[/spoiler]

Duet could maybe be fluttershy + rainbow dash as P1 and zephyr breeze as P2?

[RD1042]

As I recall, Flutters and Rainbow have different notes/parts most of the time. You should only choose one for Duet...maybe split it in 3 versions, although I'm not a huge fan of that.

[Smilley]

I was thinking girls vs. Zephyr, too. While I would love Barbershop mode with more than two vocals - rainbow, take note -, I don't think Dash and Fluttershy are quite far enough from each other in progression that it'll become an issue.
Now wait as I'll eat my words once I start working on the song in earnest.
Also, what's with Rainbow and Flutters duets? We had a small segment in the Hearth's Warming Eve song as well.

[Renard]

Just watched the episode and that song came out of nowhere. At the point it started, I was starting to believe there would be no musical part in that episode. :D

[PsychicWalnut]

While I would love Barbershop mode...

I just thought this was hilarious...  In Barbershop singing, we don't try to hit perfect notes, instead we 'ring the chord' with a harmonic lock.  This usually means 3 of the 4 parts are never on the exact note.

Anyhow, I'm back home now and will start work on the audio for this song.

[PsychicWalnut]

OK, this one took a bit of work...

There are now 5 tracks for this on the cloud.

1. The Full Song
2. The Instrumental
3. The Pitch Reference Track
4. Sing as Zephyr
5. Sing as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash

Unfortunately, I cannot separate Shy and Dash and still make it sound decent in their duet sections.

Hope you like the results.

[Smilley]

Combined and both solo versions done. Only missing the duet.
EDIT: Done as well.
