Alright guys, so the current things we’re working with are as follows:
How many instruments versus how many parts.
But there’s also the problem of recording. Since the players would most likely be from around the world, playing together would be near impossible. (Not to say it couldn’t be done, but there would be so many things that could go wrong). So the next best option would be what determamfidd suggested, which would be to have each player record their part while listening to a metronome/click-track at a specified speed.
And then these separate audio tracks would be layered on top of one another.
Of course that doesn’t account for fermatas and the like.
If anyone has any ideas feel free to contact either myself or punsbulletsandpointythings, we’ll gladly consider any and all suggestions!
Another option would be a rehearsal track. That would account for any tempo fluctuations…
The rehearsal track could be one “demo” instrument playing the melody & the demo player counting out the beats where there are fermatas, accelerandos, ritardandos etc. The orc-estra member could then record their part by playing along with it?
idk, there’s another idea! A bit more labour-intensive though.
