That would be interesting to hear, but I don't have that ability. Let me explain. The solo/piano version was recorded normally, as I have done my other YouTube videos with Sara on piano. We record "live" (either in front of a congregation or alone in the sanctuary) with stereo mics and a digital audio recorder running along with a digital camcorder. So the version I just put out on YouTube is in this mode.
Then, after the recording was finished and edited into the video, I did a separate session in my home studio recording the choir parts with a multi-track digital recorder as I listened to the solo/piano track. Once that was done, I had 5 tracks:
- solo with piano
- choir part 1
- choir part 2
- choir part 3
- choir part 4
Then I created a separate session following the same pattern and created the muted version.
So the relationship between solo and piano is carved in stone, so to speak. This was actually an experiment in whether a person can use multi-tracking to enhance an existing "normal" recording, using readily-available technology.
I think part of the reason the choir version is not doing better in the voting here is that it doesn't quite fit. The acoustics were too different when I recorded those parts. I have played with them since, adding some reverb and moving into a wider stereo spread. That seems to help. I should have recorded them in the church, but it's hard to book the sanctuary and I don't like to tie it up too much for non-worship functions.
