I was in BallyShannon, County Donegal 25 years ago, two of the best Irish trad musicians in the bar where I was playing were both from Krakow...this is fantastic, and I'm very happy to see, the music from my country that I love and play being enjoyed by the people of Poland 💚🤍💛 🇬🇮
Can the principals of Viral Sessions please give some idea of the technical steps involved? I play Irish flute in a couple of sessions, and I am a computer professional, but not in the area of music recording and editing. I assume that the basic material is from people recording themselves on their cell phones, but as to sequence of recordings and timing and editing, I don't have a clue. Many Google searches have found nothing useful.
Hello! And thank you for your message! Here is how we proceed: First step, we produce a pilot track (like a skeleton: one melodic instrument, one harmonic instrument, one rhythmic instrument). Second step, we send it to the participants and ask them to record themselves (audio-video) and to forward their recordings to us. Third step, we extract the audio files and mix them altogether. Fourth step, we synchronise video files and audio files and realise a montage of the video files according to both narrative and effects. Fifth step, we render it and post it! The only tools you need are a simple DAW software, good headphones… and of course you need to be ready to put a crazy amount of time into it! Haha!
@@ViralSessions Thank you for all that good information! We might be able to give it a try! Let me ask you one follow-up question: the "pilot track" already seems to be combined from 3 people in different locations, so do you do the whole process in miniature for the pilot track? Something like: first flute player records, sends to bouzouki player and bodhran player; each records and sends their video back to the flute player, who edits all in his DAW to make the pilot track. Then he sends *that* out to everyone. Do you do something like that?
@@pojopojopojoman Yes, it's more or less the same process. We are thinking about making an informative video about that process. Would you say it would be useful?
@@ViralSessions Congratulations on the video. It is really nice. My band and I are currently in the middle of doing the same thing ourselves. I have created the pilot track and sent it out to everyone and am waiting for the videos. I am currently looking at what software I can use to put the videos together. I've been looking into free software such as Hitfilm Express, Lightworks, Blender, Shotcut and others. I see you mentioned DAW in the comments. When I type that into Google it comes up with a whole other list of software. What software would you suggest using?
Ummmmm No....... That sounded like a kiddies beginner session,Timing was odd lark in the morning a jig that almost played a like a polka. A Plus effort for spreading irish music. Sorry but honest opinion
It's a video of non-irish musicians playing a few irish tunes just for fun. Mixed from a videos that's been sent by internet. They never played together. It's not an all-reland competition. Let's leave dilema of how much of polkas are in double jigs (for your information it's a double jig not a jig ;)) and vice versa for the Irish. Competition is not music!

Probably a loyalist Orangeman, they are tone deaf generally... this is great music..
This has filled all of us with hope and admiration!
Jesteście wspaniali!😊☘💚

Maith sibh, who knew the Poles were such fans of our music - Bhi se sin iontach!
Po prostu MEGA !!!! :)
Dzięki! :)
Absolutely brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing xxx
One year latter! Still awesome.
Two years later . Definitely still awesome.
I had no idea there are so many people in Poland who like Irish music!
I was just thinking the same thing. Bravo
Fab stuff! Well done!
einfach schön danke dafür
Thank you! :)
I'm with you Jakub. Starting off a set at the session can be scary. You did great.
Lovely! ❤
Beautiful!

Amazing!
Świetnie! Oby tak dalej!❤
Dziękujemy! Nowe odcinki już wkrótce :)
Bravo 👏
Hup!!!
Fantastic! Please someone tell me what is the extraordinary stringed instrument at 2:22?
It's a nyckelharpa, a scandinavian instrument from Sweden played here by the great Olena Yeremenko. :)
@@GoldfinchWhistles Thank you! I hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday 🤗
@@lindaj5492 You too! Take care, have a great 2021! :)
What is the instrument played by Olena Yeremenko? at 2:20
It's nyckelharpa :)

I managed to find a program that does what we need. It's called VSDC video editor. I'm curious to hear which program you used.
viral sessions = poland ajja

Part B of "Out on the Ocean" strictly speaking, is played differently second time round.
