@petersruwen His timing was probably off. They were just adjusting it. When they do the virtual choirs with larger groups of people, they just don't show the people they are adjusting when they are adjusting them.
I usually hate soprano voices, but the sop.1's voice is GORGEOUS in this piece. Sometimes they can be too shrill, but hers is full bodied and beautiful!
I adore the way the Eric Whitacre uses Dissonance in his chords, he does it so flawlessly.... I don't think I've heard a composer use it so effectively in my life.
I don't mean to say reiterate what everyone has said, but the soprano 1 in the lower right corner has the most beautiful soprano vocal chords! Her tone is so bright and resonant and the vibratto is phenomenal.
@SemperFiScout79 It's actually the guys in the upper right hand corner/middle at the top. haha, I thought he was the bass as well until I listened to the individual parts. haha.
@gibsonguy625 Why man? Why are you even watching this? Music is meant to be heard, not seen. Here's what you do: Get a decent pair of headphones; plug them in; click "Play", and close your eyes.
Oh my! This is lovely! I like hearing the small group. The vocal quality is amazing! When I recorded mine I had to do it many times b/c the streaming was off(with high speed) and then when I would play back there would be a click or the voice would be in slow motion. So glad I finally got it right, but the virtual part of it was challenging for me, the queen of the technologically challenged! LOL!!
It bugs me of all the bad cut offs but thats something you have to deal with, with the VC. Other then that this is amazing! I can't wait untill the real one comes out!
Wow those tenors and basses have the voices of angels!!. I love the resonance they give off. And the girls are amazing as well. The tone is so bright and together. Very well done.
You're amazing! My daughter submitted a video that I sync with this one. She used a netbook and kept redoing it - plus her boyfriend's trying to submit one as well. What a beautiful project! God bless you all. =)
Same problem here as with the whole Virtual Choir projects: It constantly clicks, the consonants (not just Ts, Ks or Ps, but even Ls or Ms) are not as synchronized as you would get it in a live performance (or at least in a performance where the singers sing together and can hear each other).
@ascion That's where a good sound editor comes in handy. :)
But the synchronization problem isn't as big as you'd think. With a small group, yes it makes a big difference. But when you've got hundreds of voices they're perhaps more likely to be in sync when they can't hear each other, since you don't get the space delay.
Love this so much!
