Ok, get this---I'm being asked to make a CD that will be used by a choir to learn thier respective Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass parts. A pianist is coming over tomorrow to play the parts. Ideally there would be four final versions of the same song, but each version would have the respective part (SATB) "highlighted" in the mix so people could hear their part clearly, while still hearing the remaining parts.
The problem is, the score itself is about 40 mins. long, and I have a Roland XP60 with only 2 outputs. At first I thought the pianist would have to record the soprano part on track one, then rerecord the alto part on track 2, layering it so that I could create 4 seperate mixes. But since the score itself is 40 mins, that would take her almost 3 hours to play through all the parts! This is not possible.
I'm looking for creative solutions here folks--I've got an onboard sequencer and a 16 track recorder, but not a lot of time. Is there ANY POSSIBLE WAY she can play it through once, and somehow be able to seperate the parts?
I don't think so, but I'm hoping someone may have a solution for this.
