Hi Fijabam:

I thought it sounded good. It was synced pretty well. It looks like you had earbuds in, so I'm assuming you were listening to her recording when you recorded yours. I didn't see any earbuds in her ears, so I'm also assuming that you were not both using a click track.

That's something you could consider in the future. It's how Fiddlerman does his group projects, and how we did our mini group project: The Ash Grove.

As you may have seen on the Pachelbel Canon project page, there's a click track that everyone is supposed to listen to in-ear when they are recording. This ensures that everyone is playing at the same tempo, much like I think you did by listening to the cellist's video.

The advantage of a click track, I suppose, is that the click helps you stay on tempo better than just listening to someone playing.

Beyond that, you could work on sound mixing. In your video, the violin overpowers the voice somewhat. But, if you wanted the cello under the violin, you could consider recording an additional separate voice track so you could bump up the level of the voice.

That's my two cents. I love that song, by the way. Nice job!
