I hope we get a lot of submissions for this. I can't wait to hear the final output!
Submitting my parts to Pierre now.@Jols - I recall you mentioning something in the past (the previous project) about having submitted video but weren't included - just drawing your attention to the list of parts Pierre has in the post #53 (above) ---- I notice you wrote you were submitting your parts (in your post) - but - I don't see your name on the list....
It's not easy to manage all these submissions, and it's maybe just a technical/administrative slip (my video part was not present either, but I know Pierre has it) - but - for your own peace of mind - it's worth checking !!!!
Thanks to your comment Bill I was able to find Jols email in my spam folder and followed the link to 5 parts.
I also received CID's parts. I'm so happy I posted the list so far.
I'll continue to do it from time to time, but more importantly we need to show all the videos. If anyone wants me to choose a different video from the one I chose, best you let me know now. Only one person so far has indicated which video they want me to use. Only one person sent MP3's on the remaining submissions. Of course I never asked for that but it's helpful for people to tell me what name they want me to use on credits and which video they would like used.

Some people are cutting the videos exactly, if not after, the start of the video. That means that when I mix the videos there cannot be a lead. Either all the videos get cut off or I have to add something on some of the videos in the beginning.
Please record at least a few seconds before and after the video for me. I prefer more. Let me cut the video instead. I have to do it anyway. 😁
I'll PM a few of you to see if you could include a bit more of the beginning on one of your videos.
Thanks

There's your answer then @Jols and @Mouse - all good !!!

So far all these people have submitted. Not referring to parts now, just the amount of people and the videos that I chose.

There are a couple cello parts that I can do pretty good. I will try to get them done by tomorrow night and send them in to add more cello deep sound.

I finally got a few tracks recorded and submitted. I sent @Fiddlerman a couple of takes of each part (can you let me know if you don't get all 6 submissions). Use what you will. I'll keep working on Pts 2 & 4. Thanks

That was lovely, @Ripton. I never though of recording it while the Fiddlerman and Gibbles were able to be heard. I will have to do that. I have my own cello version that I play the melody with, but I use the D and A strings (not a part for the group project). I just used the sheet music for the violin 1 (I think) to get the correct melody and did it on my cello. I should do it like you just did. It sounds quite nice on the D and A strings of my cello.
What size viola do you have? Mine is between 15 1/2” and 16”. Closer to 15 3/4”. The way it is made, though, it does not feel like almost 16”, which it is closer to. I had to trade my 16” because it was too large for me. My new viola is made by Kenneth Sullivan, the owner and luthier of the semi-local violin shop I go to. I got it a week before the doors closed due to COVID. It is actually made from good aged Central New York State maple (We have a lot of big gorgeous maple trees). Local wood! Lovely. It makes it very special to me. The spruce(?) was not local.
I would love to get a Fiddlerman viola to use, also. I love the varying the sounds of songs with instruments of different tonal qualities. It does make a difference. That will be next year if I can find a 15 1/2” on their site that is intermediate or higher. I love my Fiddlerman violin and I am quite sure the viola will be just as wonderful.
Anyway, I digress, as usual. Back to Amazing Grace, thank you so much for sharing that and the idea! Simply fantastic, and after I do the two or three cello parts I am going to contribute to the group project, I will do what you did. Fantastic and it was simply lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

thanks, @Mouse this is my 16.5" Fiddlerman's Master viola. I love it, although perhaps I really only needed a 16". His team did such a great job with the set up I was able to play straight from the box on delivery day.

So far today:
Pay no attention to which parts are here. I have audio from all submissions and I chose these videos. If you have a preferred video than the one I chose, please let me know ASAP. I'm trying to get more part 4 and 5 videos to balance.

Do you need more Pt 4 and 5 submissions? I can do that tonight or tomorrow.
Offline
No I do not. I have tons of audio submissions. Just not as many videos. It's probably my own fault. I need to choose more part 4 or 5 videos.
Most people sent me multiple videos and some people, such as Billy 😁 sent over 10. That really adds up. If I get 50 - 100 videos, the audio will be ridiculous to mix if I have an average of 5 audios per person.
Thanks very much for the offer Ripton. Not saying not to do it, just that I'll have plenty of audio. I am all for having as many participants as possible but not knowing how many there will be come Wednesday morning, not wanting to ask for more from individuals who have already sent multiple parts.
Usually, from past experiences, people give me their submissions right around the deadline date.

I'm new at this, posted a couple of videos over the weekend. Just checking that they came through and that I did it correctly.

Glad to hear you have plenty. I'm going to change keys and head over to the Game of Thrones project

Cool, sounds like a lot of submissions! ( LOL - I only sent in all the additional audios because in the past, I suspect some projects have suffered from having little other than the Vln 1 part)
Meant to say @Ripton - yeah - well done there, and it's a great plan to do these play-alongs - really helpful.
I also do this sort of thing (not to "copy", but to learn technique) and I just keep these locally for the duration of a project, or whatever else it is (like learning a specific technique - from all sorts of various free stuff on YT) - but I take it one step further and make a combined video. Reviewing the video can be quite "telling" - here's one I did along to Pierre's Vln 1 - the video is unlisted, please don't share once you have the link, it WILL be removed anyway once the project is released -
In the video - Notice -
(1) the LONGGGG bows Pierre uses, where mine tend, generally, to be somewhat shorter (but I do manage full end-to-end bows on occasion - and embarrassingly I'll sometimes pull right back, and off the tip ROFL!!!!),
(2) Piere's use of "real" vibrato - I can fake, well, manage a subtle "finger" vib - but still struggle with the wider vibrato.
(3) my, in places errr - let's say not quite perfect intonation
(4) my complete inability at times to lock into the click track..... D'Oh...
(5) my entirely cavalier attitude to the dynamics/articulation of the piece - yes - I *can* play certain pieces with the expression and passion they deserve, but, for where I am in my playing journey right now - before I can manage to do that - I have to "own" the piece (in the sense of not having to follow sheet, and in-ear click-track and video all at the same time - once I "own it" yes - then the expression, dynamics and passion do indeed appear in my playing)
(6) Our "approach" to the instrument is visibly different - but that's only because Pierre's violin is strung normally, G,D,A,E - I'm playing on my "viola-strung-fiddle", which is strung C, G, D, A - so my bowing arm is approaching the top two strings.
So - it is not that I ever intentionally "copy for copying's sake" another player - no - that of course is not what I'm doing - it's all about understanding technique, learning, and comparing how I manage against a pro-player, and accepting where my limitations are - all cool !!! I should add, I do this type of thing with other people who demonstrate technique on YouTube - it is really educational, and I find doing this sort of thing hugely beneficial ! Once you have a combined video like this, you can review, in excruciating detail, precisely where you have messed up.
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

I submitted on the 7th but I didn’t see it on the list so I just submitted again. I hope it goes through this time!

@BillyG yay, thanks for pointing that out 
!
I'm one of the guilty few who cut the video too close to the start 
@Fiddlerman I sent you a note this morning. I uploaded a version of my Violin 3 with 5 additional seconds before the start. Please let me know if I need to make any more changes or if you need me to do it to my Violin 4 or 5 video instead. I have my computer next to me all day and it should be fairly quick to make those updates.
I'm an adult violin learner just coming out of a 4-year hiatus!
Offline
P.S. Jols - I'm pretty certain a 5 seconds lead-in will be more than perfect !!!
I don't know the entire processing details Pierre goes through - but I do know, from my own multi-player projects in the past -yup - there are "things to do" - like -
(1) adjust the levels of each player's submission(s) to match other player's levels
(2) cancel your background noise/hiss (everyone has that,even in a quiet room)
(3) if (as the producer of a small group project) I'm really concerned about the tonal balance between players, and/or instruments, then sure , with a "good/reasonable" track, I'll adjust the levels for dynamics, where, perhaps, the player had not done so.
etc
etc
etc
.... it's a serious challenge - and more power to those who do this type of mix-down for a living.... Beats me !!!!!
