Just to make more work for you, would you consider both versions? The first one as written at 192, and those who can (or want to try) go for it too. You cull the submissions for the best fit and shazam shazam, just like an audition! That way harrisonreed gets his F5 to Bb5 at speed like a wild man! And I can try to handle the triplets - and you can cull me when I blow it.

(Loan me a contra and I'll try bass3 and or 4 - oh but you already have Nio Bri)

I actually saved my original version before I made any cuts to make it easier. It's very excessive, just a warning.

Plus, while I'm fine volunteering for more work, that creates more work for Mike.

I see we've slowed down a few clicks (q=174).

Thanks for taking out the off-beats. I could probably get them but not in time.

Just FYI, I am on vacation next week, so if y’all want a backing track with the new version, I need to get the midi by Saturday. Otherwise it will be next weekend.

I'm only finding the old backing tracks at original tempo. Am I looking in wrong place?

I don't think they are up yet. Looks like the tempo is good to go though right? Measure=57

OK ladies and gents - here are the new backup tracks. One with click and one without.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

You can upload your recordings to that same folder.

I would like to say a big thanks to Joey for taking time to make the changes to this tune. He could have told us all to take a hike - instead he spent what I am sure is tons of his time modifying it to make it a bit more accessible.

No problem at all. By the way, Harrison, you have a bit of a shout-out in the score, not sure if you saw.

I saw it too. Doesn't show up in the part, though.

Harrison, if you need it maybe try a soprano? :tongue:

Go for it. We can still use up to 2 players per part, so if anyone else out there wants to play, or if you want to do more than one part, have fun. I even tried to get Jim Nova (AKA the overdub king) to play with us, but he said he had too many of his own projects going on.

Great, I‘ve put my name down for tenor 2. If more than two others decide they‘re really keen on tenor 2, I don‘t mind moving/swapping to most parts other than the super-low stuff.

I'm going to wait for a little bit until everyone definitely agrees on the arrangement and tempo. If you have trepidation about the technical elements of your part, please look at it now and speak about it. If everyone is cool, we're good to go. But it would be a bummer if people recorded their parts only to realize a change was later necessary. Everyone have a look and let's agree. My part is okay - I'm committed to that (I won't change my mind).

I will probably add just a bit of reverb once the whole thing is mixed. So dry is fine. Most of us don’t have concert halls available to record in.

Tenor 4 uploaded now! I might have another crack at it next week if I think I can do better, but I'm having some large-ish dental work done tomorrow so I'm not sure when my chops will be back in shape again.

Can't wait to hear the finished product!

Getting into this recording just now, the click track clicks are early in regards to the midi. By about this much:
DSC_0537.JPG
It's enough so that you can't play along with the midi, which is too late. Would you mind if I resync the click and upload? I can do this before too many people record.

My part is up! There is some weird crud in the dead space of the audio that must be from the rendering of the video. I might try to re encode the video, but at least I've got something useable up.

I uploaded Harrisons amended click track. His has one beat per bar instead of three. Feel free to use whichever one suits your fancy.

Can you suggest an app I can use on a Windoze or Linux laptop to record both video and audio? I can do one but not the other.

Bruce most people are just using smartphones of some sort these days. Windows has a camera app that you can use to record. I tried it once and didn't like it. You can record audio to the PC easily using something like Audacity and an external mic.

Sure, record the audio into your DAW (audacity or whatever) and have OBS running at the same time, recording your webcam. Or just do the audio on your pc and video on a camera or phone. You can sync the audio using the claps.

OK. I used Audacity several years ago for a project at Night School (course in digital music) but we didn't need to incorporate video. I learned Audacity and Ableton (Live 8). Haven't had an opportunity to do this since.

I'll give the phone a try.

Just a note to Bruce and anyone else shooting with a phone. I have done a few of these videos lately and I can tell you what works and what doesn't. If you are shooting with a phone and don't have a tripod or other stand, please try to get someone else to hold it for you. Try to get your whole upper body in the shot. Those videos where people just put the phone on the music stand and use the front camera often don't look good and sometimes look like the viewer is staring up your nose. And try not to have too much junk in the background. Also, don't have a bright light in the background as it can get very washed out looking.
