How about an expansion to Eric Whtacre Choir that adds sylables for pseudo lyrics, a children's choir, and soloists for each section? That would be the best choir package ever!

this couldn't have come in a more perfect time, I'm planning to score a choir centric piece and this video came in at the right moment. much love to spitfire audio!

[@davidsinclair699]

Thanks Paul. I loved the idea of using suspensions in the choir against the rest of the orchestra. Fantastic effect.

[@daniellaubacher]

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you, Paul, for the inspiration.

Yes!

[@RichardAdkins]

What is the pen/pad you are using in place of a mouse? Cheers!

[@FLH3official]

Hi Paul. Thank you for your video. I've noticed you use a tablet since few months.I know, thru certain details, you can have some wrist problems. Why did you chose to use a tablet? What are the pros & cons? What kind of tablet do you use? How are you dealing with the pen in your fingers when you go back & forth from the tablet to your musical keyboard when you're composing? Etc etc....

[@REDSTUDIORECORDS]

Good morning teacher May I know what type of computer you use if you still use Intel or have you switched to m2? ❤ 😊

[@jacobrandallholmes]

I absolutely love this video! Question, though, what is Paul doing with the stylus? Is that an iPad?

[@AlainNLDB]

Looks like a Wacom Intuos pro to me. I've been using a pen tablet as well for a long time since I had RSI issues. Have been using it with Ableton live, also perfect to draw envelopes (cc1 cc11) for orchestral work.
