That would be cool. The mainstream systems don’t support that because the noise floor gets so high as you start mixing lots of participants but some universities have experimented with simular things. Google Stanford Laptop Orchestra.
Thanks.
Totally not my field, but...
I think the concern about the noise floor makes sense if one were trying
to get good fidelity for a soloist. But in the normal use case for a
choral rehearsal,
unlike the business meeting scenarios that seem to predominate, most of
the time
at least 10%, and more likely 75-100% of the participants would be
singing, so there'd
an awful lot of signal atop whatever the noise floor added up to.
(Another reason
why I think it might make sense to pre-process the divisi separately.)
Plus, if one is
used to performing with an orchestra, one learns to filter out an awful
lot of noise
while taking all the timing cues from the conductor. :-)
