-
To begin with, I recorded myself playing the accompaniment, plus conducting and/or singing to make it easier for the choirs & congregation to follow
-
Following this, I sent the recording round and asked everybody to record themselves singing their line while wearing headphones (so only the sound of their singing is captured)
-
Once I had received all the videos, I separated all the audio from the video (by exporting audio from the video in quicktime player)
-
I then imported all the audio into garageband (any audio mixing software would work), lining it up and editing the volumes to try and create a blend
-
Then, using Final Cut Pro, I imported the combined audio and then each video one by one - lining them up with the audio
-
Finally, once the videos were lined up, I 'transformed' each clip - changing the size so I could spread them across the screen
​
I hope that helps. Good luck with creating your own virtual choirs!
