  • chills like you would not believe. WOW. i'm in absolute awe that a single human voice could be capable of so much. i have shivers going up and down my entire body. 0.o words cant even describe......

  • I'd love to hear you do Water Night by Whitacre!

    4:15 though, I don't remember seeing a soprano high C in the score...

  • @CharlieBladeRemus I'm sure that I'll do that eventually. And you're right, in the final published version there was no high C. I saw it in a previous edit of the song that I managed to get and I liked it a lot so I kept it in

  • i think better vowels would really help a lot. i'm not hating, just suggesting. what you can do is absolutely amazing!

  • @fubbeguts101 have you ever tried to keep good AND uniform vowels over almost 5 octaves... it's pretty difficult :) I'm glad you liked it though

  • Wow. Your voice and control is amazing!!

  • what a range! lol :)

  • Your bass tone is so full and rich it just sounds awesome

  • Comment removed

  • Would you ever consider doing When David Heard by Whitacre or O magnum Mysterium by Lauridsen? If you did either of those, it'd be AMAZING. 

  • @tunaunit3 I absolutely love When David Heard, but that is a ridiculously long song, so I don' know if I want to multitrack that. and I'm not familiar with that arrangement of O Magnum Mysterium

  • You're incredibly talented. Phenomenal! Especially your bass notes. Like WOW. What part are you usually in a choir?

  • @yootubeloobe I sing tenor 1 in the choirs I'm in at school

  • So for a while this song sounded a little trippy to me, very augmented. But I find myself listening to it kinda' endlessly. So dude, wow.... Well done, i mean its really something else. Totally beyond amazing. I know you said it would be a while until your next Virtual Choir, but man I'm really anxious to see whats next. Hopefully some Morten Lauridsen lol. If you want I can shoot you more music for free if you're interested

  • @shmo15 haha well I'm glad you enjoyed it! I might take you up on that..

  • @danwright32 cool deal man, I can send you a list of some of the better pieces if you want.

  • @shmo15 that'd be great

  • @danwright32 do you have an e-mail I can send you a list to?

  • @shmo15 you can send it to danwrightsidetube@yahoo.com

  • Liked it? Big character, I loved it. I am, being a musician, always in awe of someone who can take their voice and treat it like the great wind-driven mechanical synthesizers that I play.

  • 3:08 god damn it i laughed because it sounded like he said "sushi"

  • So all right, already, Dan! Trying to give us poor old time musicians a sense of inferiority? Wowing, awesome stuff as usual, guy. Did you ever do any more of the intricate Beach Boys songs?

  • @PaulWesleyBowen haha glad you liked it :) I haven't done anymore beach boys. but I will at some point

  • I would first like to commend you for your amazing talent and skill. Secondly, and I am sure you get a lot of these, I have a song that you may like. It is "Sweetheart of the Sun" by Eric William Barnum. I suggest him because his music rings similar to Whitacres but I feel it is more expressive in some ways, and the text is better, but it still has the intricacies of Whitacre.

  • @maroonone25 I've actually been toying with the idea of doing that one. One of my choirs that I'm in at school is going to be performing that song in a few months

  • My goodness this is so incredible. I come back every couple of days to remind myself this video wasn't a dream.

  • @somewhatmyself wow thank you.. that means a lot.

  • Oh my gosh that was INCREDIBLE. Thanks for the hard work on this.

  • I know that I could never do this and that makes me want to watch!

  • My dad teases me (jokingly) about my high range, I have yet to link him directly to one of your videos and say "Kay, this guy right hurr." (Just like that)

  • @Konnorshi haha do it! you should show him my good vibrations video :p

  • @Konnorshi - have you heard of "3rd" voice? Guys with high voices can do it sometimes Baritones - Bass' rare but can. Find it, develop it, it will serve you well, you'll wonder..."where did THAT come from?!..whoa." Look up Dr. Eph Ely choral director. I've worked with him.

  • @vitaminme71 I have indeed, the whistle tone for high. I'm trying so hard to find where mine lies, and develop it. It seems however that it is much higher than I expected, and I try to go up to the 7th octave on a grand piano in my head, which doesn't seem like it's going to work very well without crushing my vocals, so I'm going to work with my old choir director for it in my lessons in the upcoming summer.

  • Your range and vocal precision continue to astound me and make me jealous. Great, great job.

  • Every time I listen to this I get goosebumps, every time.

  • @gaurdboy23 wow thanks! you should show your friends ;)

  • It's worth mentioning, that nevertheless, I'm blown away by your vocal arrangements. Keep it up, you've hit a niche and it's bloody amazing.

  • @rb10c thank you so much! please share my videos with your friends =]

  • you are so incredibly good..I enjoy each of Your uploads..thanks for sharing Your talent !

  • @maestrrra07 thank you! feel free to share with your friends :)

  • This is simply impressive. Well done. I subscribed because of another video I saw of yours, and then days later you release a video (wasn't expecting an active account). Nevertheless, great job.

  • Hi Dan, it's Dima.

    This is. just. great! I can hardly imagine the processing complexity... Thanks God, you've developed a one-man choir conception with an unbeatable precision level!

    these shifted chords in the basses make my eyes wide open O_O

    Can't understand aggression and angry comments... Don't care, just keep on!

  • @3rdImpression thanks Dima!!

  • How the hell do you hit those high notes? I couldn't do that if I was being chased by a scary man with an axe!

  • @rb10c hahahah I don't know.. I can just sing really high :)

  • How matter what "they" say, that was an awwwwwesome song! :D

  • I'll be frank. Jayson can emote to a song way better, in fact you don't seem to show any sort of emotion at all. He makes his own tempo and feels and moves with the song. You do next to nothing in those areas.

    That's said, Jayson's nox has the basses HORRIBLY overbalanced and it almost kills the whole piece for me, your version is much much cleaner and technically better in almost every other respect. I was unbelievably happy to see this from you.

  • @psycholian I'm not arguing that SOME of what the person said wasn't true, I just wanted to get a point across that there was a nicer way to say to say things. I find it easier to emote songs when I'm only recording 4 parts, I get bored after 32 parts, not to mention ridiculously tired since I normally start at like 7 or 8PM and then have to record a 5 minute song 32 times

  • @danwright32 Completely understandable. I just don't think comparisons should be made at all, you both do multitracking very differently with strengths and weaknesses on either side.

  • @psycholian I agree

  • Also those bass notes sound better than the Whitacre singers :)

  • I said I would love you if you did this, but I love you more than I said I would coz you uploaded it on my birthday and coz of how awesome it is :)

  • @MrTenorlicious haha well thank you!

  • this sounds so sinister, not sure if its supposed to but its amazing either way

  • you should make an acapella of the original pokemon opening theme. thatd be the very best

  • @xp14y639 well I think in a way it's supposed to. The companion piece (lux aurumque) translates to light and gold, and this piece translates to night and gold, and it's written in Dminor.

  • @xp14y639 that one has already been done unfortunately

  • I really appreciate all of the hard work you put into these multi-tracks. You really impress me with you persistence to create such a difficult and arduous thing. Keep doing these if you enjoy making them Dan, because I know that I would go crazy editing and singing to make a video like this!

  • @mpc1301 thank you! it means a lot to see that people appreciate it. I definitely enjoy it, and I fully plan on continuing for as long as I can

  • sounds a lot like Chanticleer.....and that's saying something. They are the standard for this type of genre

  • @robertsftube wow thanks :)

  • nice job

  • Amazing. Please don't be gone too long.

  • @anonymomification well I'm not going anywhere. I just said this would be the last BIG project you see from me. I just don't have the time for 32 voice videos during the school year. but you'll still be seeing the occasional 4 part video :)

  • @danwright32 *whew* :)

  • It sounds really really good, Dan. :3 You make a really good soprano too. SPEAKING OF WHICH: Shenandoah. Please do it.

  • @Konnorshi haha thanks :) Soprano is actually easier for me to sing than Bass. I love singing soprano haha. and maybe.. when I get some more free time

  • @danwright32 I concur with that statement.

    Singing Higher is so much easier for me than lower, can't quite place reasoning why.

    Also - When I first saw this I was like, "HE ALREADY DID VOX AURUMQUE?" (Which is apparently next from Eric and his Poet friend)

  • @Konnorshi oh really?! i'm excited now. I can't wait to hear it :D

  • Wow, this is stunning! This is better than when our high school choir performed it! :D

  • This is simply ethereal *__* Fantastic singing, Dan!

  • @acidpopsicle thanks vee :)

  • Amazing work Dan!!!! Incredible blend buddy.....those harmonies are tight! And hey man, as a fellow youtuber who deals with a lot of feedback I hope you don't mind me sharing some advice you didn't ask for. ha. :) Never respond to haters. You can't win the argument. Their negativity is about them & you're wasting precious time you could be out creating something new going back & forth with them. Keep on making great music my friend!!!

  • @ThePianoShack thanks! yeah I know.. sometimes I can't help myself though

  • Dan great job man pay no mind to the negative comments it's awesome...I know from my experience as a multitracker it's not easy, it takes skill and God given talent as trudbol said....once again great job bro!

  • @barbershopqbass8124 thank you!

  • What a fine performance. You have a super range and nice sense of pitch which makes this recording fun to listen to even if it is not the kind of music that most people would cherish. I guess you need a good voice, lots of talent and a thick skin to be a good YouTuber, eh?

  • Hey Dan,

    Are the left and right tracks reversed? It sounds like the bass is coming out the left speaker and the soprano out of the right. I flipped my headphones over and it was much less confusing.

  • @davidsgraff hmm no, they shouldn't be. unless youtube screwed it. I definitely panned the audio correctly

  • What does it say on your sweatshrt?

  • @kiratheburd hofstra music ^_^

  • The sound is pretty amazing Dan!

    My feeling is that pushing the voice to such extremes with extremely high and low vocals (which requires some form of pitch correction), makes it sound pushy and unnatural. I'm totally impressed, but part of my pleasure as a viewer is to feel the seamlessness in the performance, so tension reduces my pleasure from that perspective. I personally prefer something less rangy that sounds real to something this extreme that sounds a little artificial.

  • Do you enjoy ripping off other peoples videos? I'm curious?

  • @FitzEm08 why is this ripping off? It's a cover.

  • This SUCKS. Jayson Wilson did wayyyyyyy better. This sounds so bad! You have no emotion no dynamics no umph. I personally hate this. Wanna see a WAY better version PLEASE go look at Barbershop666

  • @FitzEm08 Why hate? It's silly and pointless to compare like this.

  • @trudbol I'm sorry for "hating" it just irritates me to see someone ripped off.

  • @FitzEm08 There are tons of a cappella multitrackers on YouTube, Jayson didn't invent one man multitracking, it's been around for ages, way before the Internet. As a multitracker myself, I can appreciate the difficulty of learning, singing and editing such huge videos, and even if you don't personally enjoy the result, it's still free quality entertainment. It's definitely something worth encouraging. Seriously, how many people are able to sing ALL the voices and make a cool video from it?

  • @trudbol I didn't say he is the only one dude. I'm just saying he did it way better then Dan. And I totally understand the difficulty of this. And I feel like if you have enough skill to do all of this then have enough skill to put joy on your face and emotion into your text.

  • @FitzEm08 Why are you claiming that Dan is "ripping off"? He's just performing the same song with the same one man choir idea, which again, isn't Jayson's idea. It's nice to have a point of comparison, I'd say.

    Putting "emotion" in your text in the multitrack context where each voice is sung separately is difficult, you really have to make one of these video yourself to understand.

    Audio/video editing & performing skills are 2 different things. One has little to do with the other.

  • @trudbol It was just my opinion. To me he ripped Jayson off. Just an opinion get over it.

    Its hard to keep the emotion going when you're doing 32 video takes, which might be why dan looks like a corpse in his videos. But I feel like if you have enough skill to MAKE this video then put the extra effort in to make it look like you're enjoying it. Other multitrackers don't seem to have that problem.

  • @FitzEm08 it's people like you that make me hate the internet. please refrain from commenting on or viewing my videos ever again

  • @danwright32 Sorry dude. The truth hurts I guess. Just put more into it and maybe I wouldnt have something bad to say next time. Would YOU like to watch a performance with no life or enthusiasm? Probably not

  • @FitzEm08 There is a better way to portray truth than starting your comment of with "YOU SUCK"

    I can't call it trolling, either, because it's not. you came back.

    I won't deny that Dan has room for improvement, everybody does, his may be in the way this song is portrayed. But, Dan did a great job on the vocal technique, he can worry of other things at a later time.

  • Sounds awesome man! I wish my computer had the processing power to do choral vids!

  • ...wow. love you dan! keep rocking <3

  • I was wondering when you were going to do Nox! It seemed right up your alley! Really really great work!

  • Dan what key did you do this in bro?

  • D minor

  • @danwright32 how did you manage to get that Low Eb and Low D's?

  • @bbstenor419 Pitch correction, how else?

  • @trudbol nope, not pitch correction. never pitch correction. I'm going to answer his question as a response to him though, so check it out :)

  • @danwright32 I think it's a "she". Be gentle. ;-)

  • @trudbol who? bbstenor419? no, he's a guy. I know him in real life...

    .

    and by real life I mean Facebook :p

  • @danwright32 LOL No, I meant FitzEm08.

  • @trudbol oh haha ok, well either way, boy or girl, that was a very rude comment. I don't mind people criticizing me, but there's a nice way to say things.

  • @danwright32 Clearly. It's interesting how the harder you work to get a multitrack out, the more some people allow themselves to be aggressive. I guess it goes to show people get used to quality and lose track that's it's all amateur-crafted free entertainment, not mainstream music they find on TV or purchase in stores, for which they would perhaps have something to say about. Some people can be clueless...

  • @trudbol very true, I completely agree

  • @bbstenor419 I sang the bass part when I first woke up in the morning. I invested in room darkening shades so that I can record at anytime of the day and the light would stay the same since no outside light is in the room =]

  • I love the chorus effect. So simple yet no one ever thought of it before that I have seen. In addition to the fact that it's extremely well done as always.

  • @seibs14 thanks! although I know barbershop666 and Eric Whitacre did this before I did :)

  • @danwright32 I meant the way you stand to give the riser effect. Not simply a chorus multitrack.

  • @seibs14 oh! yeah, that one was my idea =]

  • Flawless. Nuff said

  • YES. I am so excited that you did this! It's so fitting as you did an incredible job at lux. I was just singing this song in my head the other day :) nice job on that C by the way!

  • Phenomenal! You have out done yourself again. You will be missed. Thanks for blessing us as you have.

  • Amazing job as always! That sucks that your hard drive crashed on you.

  • @IluvCCS17 thanks! yeah, I lost a bunch of stuff for my channel, but I lost learning tracks that I was working on as well, which is even worse.
