I'm working from home today and, as usual, playing my Danny Channel. And, as usual, you lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing your music and your spirit.
This is beautiful! I applaud you for sticking it out to the end. I've tried mutlitracking before and always given up before thirty seconds. :)
We're learning this song right now and I've never heard the entire thing before your recording. We're up to measure 33. I'm completely in love with it now. Do you think you could post the separate parts? Or at least the alto part.
This is my favorite of the Voice Dance series, and when I heard it start I immediately thought of those Soprano I notes toward the end...That was incredible man, keep up the good work, you've definitely got a subscriber here.
omg our advanced womens choir is doing this song for our spring concert cuz we r so not ready for it on the winter concert!!! lmafo :D <3 this song btw!!!
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?! then forget that last comment YOU ROCK!!!!! my choir directed would love you beyond belief... and sorry i was looking around youtube bc i was supposed to be studying the song i just listened and didnt even think about it cuz it was that amazing.
my mixed ensamble are trying soo har4d to get this song down we have only met 3 times and are trying to have it ready by wednesday..... we r more than likely waiting for winter concert but im just got to say ya'll ROCK!!!!! im not hitting my nots correctly and im a second saprano you guys are amazing....
Awesome job! Some of the soprano parts are a tad harsh, but I know I could never do this as well as you did, so take that with a grain of salt. Great performance of an amazing song!
Why are the soporanos so unrelentingly stacatto at some points at the chorus? It makes the sound very jagged instead of that flowing feeling the song should have. After all, it's a dance, not a stomp.
Ahh ok, no worries. I'm a tenor myself, I know how tough singing some of the Soprano parts can be. I was really just curious, you did a good job. Any plans to do any more Voicedance tracks?
Not really. I'm more into the barbershop multitracking now I guess. The parts actually are all male ranges and turn out quite a bit nicer. I never was too fond of voicedance II or III ( or IV or V now?). I did meet Greg Jasperse last year though, he was a clinician and I was part of his feature choir to demonstrate things to the audience.. pretty fun!
Yeah, when I was in jazz choir my conductor was a personal friend of Greg (they were roomates in college). He is supposed to be a really cool guy. His father-in-law is also big in the music world (Kirby Shaw) and our group got to do a private workshop with him, it was awesome. I know what you are saying about the later Voicedance's though. They just don't have the same feel. I've only performed I and III though.
ohhmigoodness. [: this is the best rendition of Voice Dance I've heard yet! We're doing it with an incompetant choir at my school, so I hope you don't mind if I share this with them so they have something to learn from! [: Excellent work!<33
ahh I remember when a young guy tagged this as a multitrack, and a few youtube barbershoppers were like "woah.. who is this obscure singer who sings in jibberish?! he will take the internet by storm just as soon as he learns english"
Look at that, the song's over and I forgot to listen. I'll just have to play it 5 or 8 more times. As everyone else Should be doing.
Wow, you know, I've heard this performed by full choirs and to be honest I really prefer the sound of the male falsetto in this song. It just sounds so much more... passionate.
i like the bow at the end cause it feels like you're bowing for this song! lol! Those short high notes at the end were IMPRESSIVE! U have talent my friend! real talent! Wow...as others said it was real refreshing! Keep it up man! Keep it up!
lol, the video clips are really irellavent, this video was basically just to advertise the song being played. I am singing all of the parts on 16 different tracks all played simultaneously including the Alto 1+2 and Soprano 1+2 in falsetto of course.
haha well.. i'm a dude! And don't worry I also have trouble with those soprano notes. Believe me I didn't get those high notes in one try. I have a hard time tuning notes that high in my falsetto lol. Well I am a music major at school and I've been playing piano for quite a while.. so I have an ear for the harmonies and I can usually sight read most lines pretty quickly. Comes in handy when you don't want to memorize 8 different lines!
My darling I love this song. I'm currently workind on it in jazz choir and I'm singing first alto. Why did you choose not to sing the pickups after 'zing oh ah dah' part? Listening to this, I can finally hear all the parts and where the melody is. THANK YOU!
To be honest, I likely just read the music wrong, I sightread all of the parts and did the entire recording all parts start to finish in maybe 4-5 hours. I would've liked to go back and fix things up but my hard drive crashed and I'm left with this now :P. I'm glad you like it though.
Well deserved comments my friend. If you ever need another voice, let me know. I just ordered my new recording hardware so soon I'll be able to post some quality recordings - hopefully at least one will come out as nice as this one.
Put you out of business, Finey? Not quite, but we ARE wondering right about now why you can't do a full song with video. It doesn't HAVE to be a four- (or eight-) way split video of you singing the actual parts. ;-)
Oh, and to both Finey and DanIsCool: get BHSnerd to tell you how to get STEREO to be preserved here on YouTube!
Or ask LovelyVirus of "Virtual Barbershop" (the OTHER kind of Barbershop) fame.
There are plenty of youtube videos specifically explaining how to make stereo tags... Although I'm not sure I want to! Having the full length tag in a link in the info gives full quality on both video and audio, and that feels much better...
I have only rarely been able to get your links to work. Do you remove them after awhile?
Also, your links are HUGE. They seem to be .AVI files with blank video tracks. WHY!? If you just want uncompressed audio, use .WAV files. Or, better yet, use Windows Media Audio or Ogg with a lossless codec (WMA Lossless or FLAC, respectively). That gives you at least some savings, at zero loss of quality.
That means you don't have the right video codecs. I recommend that you download and install K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (Configuration: "Lots of stuff"), that should make you able to view any of my videos. Just google K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and you'll get a hit...
The AVI files in the zip files are about 9 MB which is kinda small... I'll think about making stereo though =)
Ah. I meant that they were huge for AUDIO. If there really is video, then no, they're not all that huge for that.
If you're using non-standard codecs, then you really should indicate that on your website download page (and HAVE such a page, rather than just giving raw links here), if not in the About This Video description. The average person wouldn't know to do that.
hahaha the RIGHT way to play duck hunt :P

I have only rarely been able to get your links to work. Do you remove them after awhile?
Also, your links are HUGE. They seem to be .AVI files with blank video tracks. WHY!? If you just want uncompressed audio, use .WAV files.
