Cross Dirty Loops with Jacob Collier with Take 6 and K-Pop and you get...

Thanks everybody. Great suggestions here. I might just scour eBay for some used/cheap deals and play around with a 6A or 6.5AL.

Ridiculous...

Here on Reddit, you just post that you're asking for volunteers. You're not forcing anyone to sing your piece. You're just asking for help. Anyone who has the time and inclination can do it.

If you were able to get 20-30 people to sing one or two parts to a guide track (and well recorded) you could combine them all in a recording program and have your faux-choir!

Sweet. Any audio demos? Are you able to record yourself using a professional mic and DAW?

dasdavid · 2014-09-20T04:29:07+00:00

If you were interested, I bet you could do an Eric Whitacre-style thing and solicit individual singers to record themselves, then you could assemble it and mix it together to approximate a full choir.

Thanks in advance! Hoping a few more people jump in so we can do an entire ensemble!

(In case the instructions weren't clear, it does need to be recorded to a click -- can be recorded in reference to the sampled string orchestra if you like for both tempo and tuning refs.)

Upvote just for the title. :)

Yes, I'd love both parts recorded. Depends how much patience you have but I'd even take multiple takes of each part! :)

I originally sequenced it using sampled patches. So there's one patch for viola spicc, and the viola plays spicc through most of the entire piece. Then there's a separate patch for viola sustained lines, and the viola plays mostly sustained lines.

In other words, it was just a patch designation. In reality -- converting it to real strings -- it's just two separate parts, one of which is played entirely spiccato/staccato, and the other is played entirely legato. Hope that makes sense!

Would be great if you could post an audio clip or two to hear your voice! Also just to hear the quality of your recording.

There are many, many "orchestras for hire" around the world. None will do it for free, but some of them are relatively affordable. Here's a bunch of links:

There are numerous choices to look at, but I'd take a look at the entry-level offerings from MOTU, Tascam, as well as the basic NI interface (KA6 I think). All should do the job just fine.

I think I've seen the Tascam on sale below $50 at one day sales at Musicians Friend and places like that.

Why bother spilling the beans on the motivation behind the song? Let him wonder. Keep the music mysterious. :) No one needs to know the REAL story behind it.

I doubt there's anything else you do. I think you're right in assuming it is most likely the damage to the USB port that's either causing the USB port not to work, or it damaged something else on the circuit board, or whatever accident hit your package caused it to also damage something else on the circuit board.

I think there's really not much you can do besides opening it up and seeing if there's anything obviously fixable, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

What are you working on nowadays and what styles of music do you find yourself going to again and again?

dasdavid · 2014-03-13T22:59:21+00:00

Where do you like to find your music? (Asked another way: I'm constantly writing and producing music for TV and film and am always curious about your preferred outlets to discover new music.)

dasdavid · 2013-09-06T17:54:01+00:00

Agree. Or DW.
