Early in my MIDI music exploration, I wanted to rescore “The Highest Step” using Garritan Personal Orchestra 4, but quickly discovered that due to having originally scored it entirely in General MIDI, many notes were out of range of GPO4 instrumentation.  I am now considering pursuing the rescoring again, but likely focusing largely, if not exclusively, on the SoundFonts from www.soundsforbeats.com.  In addition, the original version of “The Highest Step” was a direct exporting from PrintMusic without any mixing – I now have a rather good knowledge (I think!) of mixing and can certainly make any rescoring sound superior to the original version.

Since “The Highest Step” was effectively conceived with the 2010 Winter Olympics in mind, if I do pursue this rescoring/mixing project, my goal is to have it completed and released around the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
