How did the Woodlands...?

[Jandry.]

Hey I'm new here, and this might've already been asked, but I was wondering, how did the Woodlands use synthesizers to make their drum major sound the way she did in the Hide and Seek parts?

 

 

Is it a certain program?

 

I know Imogen Heap uses some sort of keyboard/guitar instrument.

 

Anyway, just wondering.

 

 

Thanks!

The Woodlands had a pretty extensive mixing board this year. Me thinks that the voice was mixed in a weird way to create such a cool sound.

 

I'd love for someone from The Woodlands to clarify this!

Imogen Heap using something called a vocoder (i think? its something along those lines) wich takes her voice and links it to her keyboard. when she plays on they keyboard the notes "sing" her voice.

 

Im guessing thats what they did

Hide and Seek was basically like that. I didn't want to leave with a bad feeling so I picked up my harmonizer and played my keyboard and recorded it on my Mini-Disc recorder.

 

From the moment I put fingers to keys, and voice to harmonizer, the song just appeared. 4

Yeah...thats the $64,000 question aint it!! The BOA sheets weight GE as like 60% of the overall score i think...ugh...GE is all about creating "moments" both musically and visually to make the audience (and hopefully the judges) say "wow" or "oooo" and get that warm fuzzy feeling...Its a very subjective caption. One judge may love it...another may hate it...I dont think its quite as fair as BOA intended. The feeling I get; is that 60% of your score is based on a judges opinion...not necessarily how well the show was executed. So thats my rant about GE...I think ill start a new topic about it...cuz yeah...my program got hosed in GE this year...so im a little sore about it! LOL
