LMB Remote Recording Project II
Victory Day March
Hi All. Just when you thought it was safe to put the instruments back in the case...
Below you'll find files of "Victory Day"
Really short notice, but if there's any chance of getting the parts by end of play on Tuesday night that would be perfect (It's taken ages to secure the music).
As before, audio files and guidelines are below
Thank You

Process
Here's what you need to do to:
- Please ensure you're fully warmed up and your instrument is tuned before you start
- Your instrument should be tuned to A440. There are numerous free guitar tuning apps you can download to check this
- You'll need headphones in when you're recording and to listen to the guide track or click track to play along with as you record your part
- You should play your part while listening along to any one of the instrumental midifiles, links to which are included above
- Please ensure that you use headphones when recording and that the track, and all other extraneous noises, cannot be heard when you're recording your part. Try to also choose a room that's not too boomy
- You'll notice there's a two bar introduction on the recordings which is click only. This is built into your bars rest, so in other words the first click you hear is the first beat of the first bar of music on your part. Count accordingly from there (the music itself - in the form of five drums beats - comes in at bar three)
- While you're playing:
*please avoid any overblowing or excessive vibrato
*ensure you play notes full length and smooth
*make sure you're in time with the click throughout
If you're out of time / out of tune / out of balance, this just won't work
- Last thing - please watch the length of all notes, but particularly long notes and especially the very last note of the piece - it should be exact in order that we all finish together
- Please record your part as a LANDSCAPE video on your phone and email the finished product using Dropbox, Google Drive or similar link to [email protected]
- Could you please send your recordings Tuesday night, May 5th

Video Notes
- The video should be landscape rather than portrait
- When recording, please select a good angle, ensuring you can be clearly seen (i.e. not too close or cropped) and choose a good backdrop
- Please make sure your phone is static and still while filming you - propping the phone on a music stand itself works well
- Remember also that you can be seen at all times, including during your bars rest, and that your finished video will be part of a montage like the examples below. Just as guidance for the look of the finished product, check out the two Cory videos below:
1) The Chitty Bang Bang video is pretty well done. There are some nice touches by individuals, glancing and smiling occasionally at the camera, but its all fairly genuine and - other than the pointless conductor and random elephant trousers - it works well.
2) The second Queen video, by contrast, is a little OTT in approach from all and comes across a bit contrived. As a result, it just doesn't work as well as the first they did.
This recording is a bit more relaxed than the last. As before though, while we want it to be relaxed and upbeat, we do want it to be tastefully done.
- I realise many of us are in need of a trip to the barbers, but if we can avoid any hats and also sunglasses please that would be good. Please also wear casual dress rather than uniform (Brighouse did theirs in uniforms and it didn't work in the home setting)
- The orchestral videos below are good examples of what we're after - informal, but tasteful. Notice the live parrot on one guy's shoulder in the Colorado Symphony video by the way :D Pets and kids in the background are fine - dancing around and teddy bear costumes, no thanks. And before anyone asks, no, I won't be dancing about to a recording in red pants, I'll be playing a part instead ;)
Good luck everybody! Any problems, let us know.
If we can have all your videos in for Tuesday May 5th please that would be greatly appreciated
