We Are the World (Collab Cover)

Hi everyone!

@blondiewales @Wigs @Mysti @DogMeat @cwcw @Diego @maximgottmer @doc_ramadani @Vocality @Klaus_T @highmtn and others (Hope I didn't miss anyone who participated).

For those who knew nothing of this collab, this was a mini project I suggested and I was fortunate to get almost a dozen people participating and contributing what they can for the success of it. The song is We Are the World which was a song released in 1985 for a charity group fighting against an African famine crisis. A lot of the messages of this song is still relevant now and, as singers, we felt this was a good song to sing to not only see how far we've come but also share some positive vibes. The singers here all have varied experiences in singing but we all love music equally.

This cover took a few months to put together but we finally have something to show for it. It was a lot of fun seeing it put together and most of the credit does go to @doc_ramadani who did bulk of the work. Of course, we mustn't forget the singers who put time and effort in making this possible. I do hope that we can have similar collabs in the future with new people joining us. Anyways, below is the finished cover. Hope you enjoy!

    I had no idea you guys were doing this, very cool! Who mixed it? I really don't want to critique any of these collabs because that sounds so negative, lol. Even though it's all meant as positive feedback.

    I think you all did a really nice job, especially on the harmonies. I look forward to the next collab!

    All the best,

    Ben

    Hi Chris, @cwcw

    never want to miss anything?

    When you enter the forums the normal way you will see the "category view!. You can see all the categories with the last 5 discussions that were active in this category. This can sometimes be a bit confusing because you can not see what is happening in the different categories on the first look. Many students, including myself, prefer the "discussions view". In the the "discussions view" you can see the last discussion regardless in which category they have been posted. If you look at the top line of your browsers window yon can read "Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy Singers Forum" (or if you are on a mobile device "KTVA Singers Forum). Next to it it says "Categories" - "Discussions" - "Activity" - ... Click on "Discussions" and you are in the "discussions view". For me, this view is easier because I can see all the latest things that happened in the forums.

    Thanks @doc_ramadani Very good tip!!

    I'm actually setup as you describe, but with limited time to be on the forums, I often just quickly view my notifications. So I was surprised that I somehow missed this notification - because I was tagged. :)

    So great to hear the final result. Huge thanks to @doc_ramadani and everyone involved. For some reason i got really nervous when i started to play this. It's exiting to send over few samples and get a full track on the return. Let's do this again at some point :)

    All I can say is, "Wow!" What a great job everyone did. I really enjoyed doing my part on this and I hope we can do more in the future. This is amazing all of us singing together on different continents across the world. We truly are the world.

    A special thank you to both @Rick_amateur for executing on this collab idea and putting the video together, and to @doc_ramadani for mixing all our sound clips together and making us sound like we were singing together. Also, shout out to @doc_ramadani for the heads up.
