If you want to do that, here's five .ogg files to save you a few megabytes' download.

Okay, I think that I sound decent in these recordings. I think that the background noise, etc. might have to be edited out, but I don't know how to do that.

Sounds frigginawesome.

Here is a quick sample of the 4 recordings from Znrik + me + Someone Else. Like a choir, eh?

Is this good enough? If so I'll try to do the others.

Not too late to join, right? I'll sing. Do we have note sheet?
I don't think I'll be able to do it right away (I'm sick) but maybe I'll soon get better.

Right here. (Note that when Erik says, a few posts later, that some of the notes are off he is referring to an earlier version. The one that's up now matches what I sang in the recordings, which has since been confirmed to be the correct tune.)

Ugh, count me out. I can't find my normal microphone, and the headset mic that I have is hopelessly confused. But everyone's recordings sound great so far!

Sorry everyone.

Yeah, its good, Blondbeard. If you want to record the other parts, I will most likely use them.

Sometime this weekend is probably when I'll mix the recordings together. I would say that we have enough now for a good mix, but more people in the choir make it sound bigger and more realistic. So yes, it is still worthwhile to post your recordings.

Solution: Sing normally at half-tempo, then double the recording's speed. You might end up very out-of-breath, but then again, you won't miss out on all the fun!

Or just sing an octave lower. It's always nice to have a bass background!

I'll try to make a recording this Saturday evening (GMT+1). I don't know if that will be too late.

Good idea. I can make the recording and see if Erik wants to include it or not.

I'm home sick today, and having a little extra free time, I've decided to start mixing the recordings sent so far. Snacko, Bombadil, and others who were considering making a recording, I think I'm going to go ahead without any more recordings.

Not at all. It was my fault, I should have recorded them earlier. Hope to hear the result in the SmS!

Hey, all. Huh...I notice that this neat song, In a Vat, never ended up in a SmS. If there's interest, I'd like to include it in TSS. I asked Erik about files, and he indicated he lost it all in a hard drive crash a while back.

So, if the original contributors are still around, and you very fortunately still happen to have your original voice recording somewhere, would you please either post it here or e-mail it to me?

If you don't have it, and you'd like to contribute at this point, it's fine if you re-record.

If you were never involved, but recording for this song sounds epic or even just interesting to you, please feel free to get involved. It's not too late! Just provide a voice recording according to the above instructions (please see first post, and also here). And BAM -- you have a chance to be included in the Vatborn choir.

This actually sounds like fun. If you could wait until weekend, I might be able to do a recording for this, too.

Someone else -- thanks! Yes, your attachment is fine. I'll use that.

Lucky Luc -- sure, this weekend is fine. I'm planning to have this put together over the next month or so.

My recordings are still attached to several posts on page one of the thread. Feel free to use these, or let me know if there's a problem and I'll rerecord.

Thanks for replying! These recordings should be good, and I'll try to use them. If anything, I'll let you know.

Dang it! I wish I had seen this earlier! I sing at a semi-professional level and I think this might have been fun!

Aw, too bad. Well, you can always post stuff here anyway, and if I get inspired, I might thread your take in.
