The audacity program has a fade out and a fade in function. Alternatively, you could select that portion of the soundtrack and decrease the volume as you rerecord although that is clumsy.

The harmony is just need recording a high and low part relative to the melody. I have a reasonably good harmony brain and my brain figures it out. Usually there is a high and low part and possibly a third party even higher or lower often an octave or another harmony.

could do when my falsetto and allergies were not at odds. I agree it is a great one. Close your eyes is my fav. I love allmost all his songs as you can tell

Nicely done. Nice voce too. How did you add the harmony.? And how did you fade the audio? Any comments would be appreciated. I'm toying with the idea of posting something too so I'm much more observant these days when watching you tube videos. Keep posting.
