White Winter Hymnal - Cayuga's Waiters

[dpetrolbomb]

I like it.

Okay. This sucks. But it's not ENTIRELY the groups fault. There are two big things you've got to fix:

[KevinThornTV]

@KevinThornTV 1. Work on dynamic contrast. There is slight contrast happening hear, but not nearly enough to create the effect that was originally intended in this song. It's what really makes that moment at the end so emotional.

[KevinThornTV]

@KevinThornTV 2. You have got to STOP individually mic'ing your group! I understand it's a capella tradition, but it truly ruins the effect of a choir. The point of a choir is to make ONE sound, not to mix together different sounds.

[KevinThornTV]

@KevinThornTV My suggestion is that you invest in three high quality choir mics and keep them close to the group during recording. It makes it easier for your group to hear internal blend, and the mixing process is just as simple. If you don't believe me, try listening to some other groups online that use choir mics. You'll find that their blend is much more together.

ummmm...check out the Fleet Foxes...they do a great version of this one.

[eastonisabela]

im sure it was great live. terribly recorded tho. its about blend. not hearing everyone separately

[Rollabobin]

I bet the guy who suggested/arranged this song is the "cool guy" of the group ;)

[fergalishus101]

they slowly get faster and faster. other than that very nice in my opinion

[PoppyCork07]

I'm not the biggest fan of this cover, but I can admire the fact that its a choral rendition which makes me extremely happy. :)

[vanessanatalie]

oh my goodness. those low notes! the tenor and bass is incredible! 

[samhtheman909]

It was good. But tbh there was no harmonising. It was all in the same pitch.

[Barnaldomort]

@samhtheman909 you are deaf then. There is CLEAR harmonising in this.

[samhtheman909]

@Barnaldomort Im not saying its complete crap. Just if you listen to most other acapella groups singing it there is more harmonising.

[Barnaldomort]

@samhtheman909 I take my previous comment back then Sam, apologies I didn't realise you were comparing others. Still harmonising nonetheless, though admittedly it could be more intricate!

[samhtheman909]

@Barnaldomort Haha. No worries mate. I didnt put it in my comment ha. Na i mean its really good, it is. But I just thought there was more that they could of done to make it a bit better :)

[bobboberan]

YEAH !! awesome guys thanks for doing it wish more groups or choirs would do it ...

[crystalsPlanA]

love it!!

[creaturanoctis]

Ofcourse i meant; it could USE some reverb

[creaturanoctis]

It's cool:)

But i think it could just some reverb. It gives a more dramatic effect:)

[Eraq3]

HOLY COWS! I gotta say, This is THE best cover of the song I've heard so far.

[grayswood052]

Love the fleet foxes, love this cover.



[MightyChoctaw]

Brilliant, guys.

As always.
