Ideas:

Synth strings w/band version: If you're using just synth strings (no orchestral instruments) with praise band, use the synth strings w/band version. If you're using strings with orchestral instruments, use the regular synth strings version. In 2007 I rearranged the strings for the WorshipFilms.com video (this company has since gone out of business.) It's a good example of the difference between pop arranging and church orchestra arranging. This is how I'd arrange strings for a pop artist or band. Notice it's mainly violins - You wouldn't hear lower strings with a band, they would just muddly the mix.

HymnCharts subscriber Lori Taft suggests: "We are starting with Angels We Have Heard into Famous One. They go nicely together. Who else gets a birth announcement from a heavenly host of angels!"

MP3 Problems?

Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
