Christmas TC Trombone Choir

Where does all the time go? I uploaded my bass part. I will try to get a better version but I may not have the time. I wanted to have something out there by the end of the month. I upgraded my hat from last year.

Thanks Mike and Michael for taking this on again.

Thank you! The video quality on my initial upload was fuzzy though, so I re-uploaded the original directly from Google Photos- hopefully that’s worked.

I’m enjoying seeing all the videos coming in! I’m also curious about everyone’s equipment

Mine’s a Conn88hCL - what are y’all playing Mike and Steve?

Regards,
Neil

Mine is a XO 1240 RL-T bass. These projects are letting me learn how to use my DAW (Reaper). Recording the audio and video separately is a lot easier.

OK Steve Church has to win some kind of award for the homemade Christmas sweatshirt.

I'm playing my Lawler Model 1 with 7 1/2" bell. Red brass bell, nickel silver slide.

Hey everybody -

No pressure, but Michael asked for videos to be uploaded by the end of November. It is the 27th and so far there are only 3 videos. So please try to get yours done this week.

Here is the upload link in case you need it.

I uploaded a zip; when it finished uploading, the file appeared to be there but when I refreshed the page it was gone.

What do i need to do differently?

I see a zip file, so that must be you. For anyone else, unless you have limited bandwidth, please upload native files, not zipped. My experience is that zipping one or two files doesn't save that much space anyway.

It wasn't to save space.

Uploaded the .mov file today. Trying to do accompanying audio tonight.

brtnats · Post by **brtnats** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:42 pm

Uploading tomorrow. Been too sick to slide!

I got my tenor 6 files uploaded today. Also on a Conn 88H.

deanmccarty · Post by **deanmccarty** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 8:00 pm

I uploaded bass 1 today. Btw… my equipment is a Rath R9D with a nickel bell and red brass hand and tuning slides.

Carol Jarvis informed me that she regrets that she will be unable to join us this year due to some recent challenges with her schedule. She would be happy to join us in the future if the opportunity presents itself.

XO artist Phillip Jones has agreed to lay down the lead part for us. Phillip is fine lead player and will do an exceptional job!

Post by **Matt K** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 7:06 am

Uploaded both. I'll 2x check that I made sure I followed guidelines after work today

ssking2b · Post by **ssking2b** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 7:18 am

I'm going to record the video Thursday a will upload it no later than Friday morning. Let's hope Carol gets to join us sometime in the future.

We could do "Caroling" for Christmas in July piece of her choice? Ugh, too many puns there.

If you haven't heard this interview with Carol, it is well worth your time.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it is a mild case. I was lucky when I finally caught it. After 4 shots, it was basically just a minor cold.

Mikebmiller · Post by **Mikebmiller** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:01 am

Hey everybody - we have about half of the videos uploaded now. If you haven't done yours yet, please get it done by the end of the weekend.

robcat2075 · Post by **robcat2075** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 1:16 pm

FWIW... if it is of any help... I've uploaded a full click-track version: "Nutcracker All Click.mp3"

ssking2b · Post by **ssking2b** » Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:13 am

I uploaded my video about 15 minutes ago.

ssking2b · Post by **ssking2b** » Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:15 am

The horn I am playing in the video is an XO 1632RG-LT. Mouthpiece is my own design based on a Bach 11C.

We're missing more than half of the submissions. If we don't get them by tomorrow, I'm unsure of whether this project will be able to go ahead.

Slydeguy · Post by **Slydeguy** » Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:42 am

Uploaded T4. Rath R3, Hagman, Nickel 8” bell and a DE 101 F.

glenp · Post by **glenp** » Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:44 am

I’ve got the flu, but am planning/hoping to record T4 today.

Post by **Matt K** » Sun Dec 04, 2022 11:00 am

Anyone want me to do another part today? It looks like we may have all the parts except tenor 2?

If we're missing any tomorrow, then that would help a lot. I haven't been put down for a part, so was just going to record any missing ones.

If still needed I could do this for you today?

Tenor 2 is about l15 minutes away!

Edit: After an iOS update, Trombone 2 is uploaded. Yamaha 822V. With bronchitis and asthma.

I just noticed that I misread a ledger line in my part. I have uploaded a "Bass2_Revised_RobertHolmén_24bit.wav" to fix that note and to replace the WAV in my original ZIP.

glenp · Post by **glenp** » Sun Dec 04, 2022 6:15 pm

Just uploaded T4. Played with a King 3B Legend and the flu.

You get extra pay for that. Hope you didn’t upload the virus. And hope you feel better soon.

Mikebmiller · Post by **Mikebmiller** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 3:36 pm

Looks like I am back to doing the video. Here is some feedback -

Brad Whitaker - Even if you record your audio separately, I need some audio on the video to synch it up. Please unmute that clip and re-upload it.

Matt Henson - your tempo is not in synch with the backup track. Your track is about 10 seconds too long. Please try again. Make sure you have the backup track in your headphones when you record.

Thanks to everyone who has made an effort to get this done. If you have not yet finished and still want to be in the video, please get your video clip in no later than this Wednesday.

brtnats · Post by **brtnats** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 3:41 pm

I recorded the audio separately then synced it up with the video. I’ll upload my originals.

Brad - I managed to get it to where it syncs up pretty close just by looking at the slide positions. So don't worry about re-doing it.

LOL That reminds me of an episode of Warehouse 13 (a pretty cheesy syfy network show).

I’m just glad I didn’t have to withdraw from this. I might have to miss three gigs from this illness, and I really don’t like letting all those folks down.

Looking forward to seeing the final video.

Mikebmiller · Post by **Mikebmiller** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 7:15 pm

Here's a very rough mix of the audio so far. This is missing the T2 part. Michael will make it sound a lot better.

robcat2075 · Post by **robcat2075** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 7:57 pm

A little shifting here, a little balancing there... and a lot of reverb... I think that will come together.

I had to play a brass choir concert this past Feb. on a Sunday afternoon after spending all of Saturday night with the worst stomach virus I have ever had. It was pretty miserable.

Ha! I was the guy that organized the choir and put the show together. The only pay was coming out of my pocket.

One tip... Studios use a clapper for multiple reasons, including clip identification and sound synchronization.

It's simple to just clap your hands at the beginning and will make a world of difference when mating up audio tracks recorded separately from video tracks.
