THE FLAME OF HOPE programs and mixes songs, putting them in an alternative format so a non-speaking person can sing like everyone else. However, if you wish to record and sell the song, you must go through www.cdbaby.com and get the appropriate license.
I Snoopi Botten, am kind of key deaf and don't always get the music in the same key as the vocals. If you get a song that is off key, I will remix it free of charge. Remixing only takes roughly 30 minutes, but then I'm gonna run it past one of my friends to make sure I'm on key before sending it out again. Only about 10 percent of my work is off key these days and I fix them as soon as possible. Once I know something is off key, I can usually find the right key.
Unless you are good in math, have an understanding of phonetics, and know music theory, you're going to have a hard time programming songs. Because I have been doing songs since the early 1990's, it's just easier for me to program songs for people. I can do solos, duets, trios, and so on.
Before requesting a song, please press the Musicnotes key, and it will take you to "Musicnotes.com". Type in the song title and artist name of what you are looking for. If the song comes up and if it's the one you want, DO NOT pay for it. Finding the song only tells you I can do it. I have to purchase the song myself before I can do it.
When you order a solo, you get an mp3 of just the desired song being sung in the specified voice. When duets and trios are requested, each vocal part comes on a separate mp3 file at no extra charge. Each vocal mp3 has a lead, or pause at the start of each song. Most songs have a starting intro, meaning the music starts before the vocals come in. when the vocal(s) are started at exactly the same time as the music, the vocals all come in at the right times.
If you are requesting a duet or trio, but those parts are not written in the sheet music, I can't do it. If you don't know how to read music, you can e-mail me the name and artist of the desired song, and I'll tell you if I can do it.
Starting everything at exactly the same time is next to impossible, but it can be done after huge amounts of time practicing. There is 0 room for error. If 1 device is started even a millisecond too early or too late, you hear it. Plus, if people doing the duet or trio don't all have the same AAC device, they don't all start the mp3 files at exactly the same time. So the starting of AAC devices has to be slight off to accommodate the differences, in order for everything to be totally synchronized. It's not an easy thing to pull off. And if things are slightly off time, it will be impressive. Sadly, people don't expect AAC devices to be perfectly on time. After all, they are meant for talking, not singing.
There are 26 voices to choose from. You can play the audio file to hear a samvoice. Then from the drop down menu, select the lead singer. If this is a duet or trio, please list the additional voices on the line provided. You may type just the first name, or even the first letter of that name, such as "A" for Anne.
If you are requesting a duet or trio, but those parts are not written in the sheet music, I can't do it. If you don't know how to read music, you can e-mail me the name and artist of the desired song, and I'll tell you if I can do it.
When you receive your order, you will get 2 mp3 files. One file will only be the vocals, so the Individual can sing with live music; such as with a pianist, a band, or with a live quire. The 2nnd mp3, has the vocals and a performance track mixed together for situations where live music cannot be provided. The separate performance track is NOT included. you do get an additional mp3 file with all requested voices singing together with the music..
Because of on going health issues, I'm in and our of the hospital a lot. When I'm home and feeling ok, most orders will be completed and emailed to you within 36 to 48 hours. However, if I'm in the hospital, or busy on other products or orders, it could be 2 or 3 weeks for your order to be completed.
