I Thank You God For Most This Amazing Day - Eric Whitacre cover

another cover from the Cloudburst CD=)
all parts sung by me.

At the moment I am experimenting with mic placement and mixing to see how realistic I can make it e.g trying to make it seem like it is actaully in a large reverbed room.
I would love your comments and opinions or tips!
thanx for watching=)

there is NO vocoder on this recording. he may have used a touch of pitch correction, but i even doubt that.

the effect that everybody so ridiculously thinks is a vocoder is produced by the way his voice blends, combined with a mediocre microphone and a bit too much reverb.

i, for one, think it's fantastic.

[traanncce]

@kghobbes thankyou!! i was starting to get a tad frustrated especialy when people were voting up the vocoder accusations.

[StingingSuzumebachi]

No it's not. It's called control. If you can control your voice up there, then you don't need a pitch corrector.

[undercovervagrant]

I like the cleanness of the piece, the interpretation is a bit brash for my ears personally (tempo and dynamics) but for the first time I've heard all the words which is an achievement that deserves a BIG thumbs up.

[OzarkWalkers]

I love your interpretation of this beautiful song. There are so many recordings of choirs doing this with tonality problems...you're dead on. Nice work.

@VanSensei That's what makes it so darn amazing xD

[codex010]

Muito BOM! Mesmo muito bom. Acho que manter a afinação é excepcionalmente difícil... Extraordinário.

[VanSensei]

@MrXrofl This song kinda clashes with each other's parts. A LOT. There's parts where the sopranos and altos are in 6 parts singing the thing the other part just sang. There's 13 parts at the end. It's really hard to stay in tune with this one.

[DCtoobz]

To the artist: Thank you for sharing your work of love. I think you honored the muses and Whitacre's music too, IMHO.

Nay-sayers: do one better than that or sit down and be quiet.

@sephiroth3782 Actually, it's more like a C#11th chord flat 7. C#, E#, G#, B, D#, F#. Those are all the notes for a diatonic C# major 11th chord, with a flat 7th.

[2011Ashy]

....I'm sorry but... this isn't right... Not for an Eric Whitacre piece...

[sephiroth3782]

@SanctusLumiere

The last chord, from the bottom upwards is:

F♯2

D♯3

G♯3

B3

C♯4

D♯4

E♯4

So its sortof a Bmajor 2nd Inversion chord, but also with the notes of a C♯major chord in it as well =)
