No, seriously, is anyone here in charge of or part of an adult choir?

I'm looking for a recording of Mozart's  "Lacrymosa", but I need it on key, on tempo (consistently, no rubato, to a whole-number tempo via metronome), and A CAPELLA. Fun stuff, right?

anyone interested?

Thanks, dudes.


Also, hi agaain everyone! Been a while.

Howdy,

I know of choirs, but they cost $$$.

I can't really imagine you could pull something like this off for free. You got a budget?

I have a DLS bank with very good choirs in it. Could that be of any use?

@Krazy: That's what I'm worrying. I'm slowly developing a budget (just got employed again)

@LP: Tell me about it. And I can't quite remember what DLS is!  :P

Why not join a choir and work it from the inside, becoming "The Undercover Choirboy"? Or less realistically use overdubbing and some choir effect such as Clone Ensemble.

a DLS is like a soundfont.

Resources, Alskling.

I'm not sure anyone I know has the equipment to provide headphones and a set of area mics to record an unaccompianed choir.

PLus, I don't like my choir's sound all that much. Not very mature.

EDIT: alskling, Clone Ensemble is badASS! Thanks for the link!

The soundfont bank I have is kinda big... near 200 megs.

Its name is: Studio_Works_2007_light.dls

I can't however find it using google, but then again, I've downloaded this 2 years ago.

If it's just a choir of "Oohs" and "Ahs", I'm covered. Reason's got some nice samples as far as that goes.

I think I might try the Clone Ensemble approach. I was kind of impressed with the demo.

It is, but very rich. When I hear its sound, I would swear that I hear a real choir singing ohs and ahs in a cathedral.

I'll give it a shot anyway, then.

Can you possibly FTP it?

If you have an ftp server, I'm willing to up it for you there. You can PM me with account details. :)

Haha, my mistake, I thought YOU had a server. Guess me memory fails.

Hey LP - I could temporarily host the file, if you like. Send me a PM or MSN me and we'll work something out. As Jojo says, we could organise Hamachi to get it to me, then I can FTP it up, or something. :)

EDIT: I have it up at my site; anyone interested, let me know. I'll PM you the details. I'll take it down in the next forty-eight hours or so, though, so move quickly! Thanks to LPChip for the stuff.
