Very nice you both...and a very special harmony from the Girl...thanks for sharing

Pia

Really good stuff, the only thing was I could say (not bad) was in the blending, I wish I could have heard a little more of the harmony as it seemed a little low but overall that was very good.
Thank you so much, Loved it

Hey All...

Kevin asked me to post this song I sang with him here. So, hope you like it.

http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/watchandlisten/play/bc90ae7af

Also, I really like the idea of a harmony thread. I very much enjoy doing both melody and harmony on songs, so I look forward to posting more here, and to listening to what others post here as well.

Please have a good Sunday,
Sam

Thank you Sam, I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

BTW, I just heard you singing harmony with peggyjoy and wow! You should think about posting that one here as well.

I may or may not have already done a bass part on it with you guys LOL

OK so who's up for a little fun?

This is a really fun song to do harmony on. I layed down the lead part and did 1 harmony part already and would love to build it from there.

http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/baa22becf

If you would like to join in on it here's what we'll do.
First, post that you want in, and I'll add you to the list below. Once you have recorded you part either post it back on this thread or send me a link in PM and we can review for timing and blending (Mix) before adding to it.
Remember, When doing overlays the key to making a good recording is getting the mix right before adding to it. If it's not right once you have recorded over it there is nothing that can be done about it.

Once done and posted the next one in line can lay down there part and so on.

So whos next?

Lets have some fun with this or if there is a song any of you would like to do like this pitch it out here, I'm sure we all would love to jump in on them.

Lets make some sweet HARMONY

Beautiful Harmony!

I never was that good at harmony, so maybe I should keep my mouth shut.

The standard harmony feature that SS gives us usually results in a mess if there are more than two or three different singers. As said at the beginning of this discussion ... "The 2 main things are the timing and volume of the recording we are laying down over the original recording."

I would add to that the sometimes incompatibility when some singers use heavy vocal effects and others use no effects at all. Then there is the issue of dynamics that are not compatible.

There is a way to solve all these problem. Each singer records their vocal track without the music or excessive effects. All of the vocal tracks are then sent to one person doing the mixing. The vocal tracks are loaded into a multi-track audio editor. Using EQ, compression, volume adjustment, timing adjustment, and mild effects, the vocals are made to sound good together. The finished vocal mix is then played into the SS recorder and the music is added in song review.

If there are 4 or 5 that would like to try harmony with the above studio process, I could provide the how-to instruction and the mixing.

I may not be good at singing harmony but I know somebody that did some great setups. one I did with her ....

All My Trials

Great input, you are right about the type of equipment each of us use. It without a doubt differs greatly. Some good some not so good LOL. Not that the singing or the equipment is bad but many just don't know how to use it. kind of like having a car that will go 200mph, you only drive 65, no point in having it if you can't use it for what it was built for. Or having an Iphone that comes with 100 apps but we only us a few, the rest we don't have any idea what they are or how to use them so they are just there.

For me, part of the fun when I record is in getting the mix, timing and blend just right. there are some trick to doing this but I know from being a member and listening to 100s over the years many of us could put down much better recordings once we understand a few basic principles of how the site works. Building a recording one layer is fun for sure but again there are tricks to it so remember if you have any questions about how to get the best out of what we have to work with that what we are here for.

Heart_full_of_Music

What you did for youtube was almost the same studio process I suggested for harmonies on SS. The one difference is that on SS we are not allowed to download the music. The voices are mixed and edited just as you did for the linked song, but the music gets added after the vocals are sent to SS.

It can be a lot of work to mix the production, but it's relatively easy for others to participate. Each singer listens to the music and records their vocal. A singer can use a recording app on their computer or an online recorder such as at twistedwave.com Then the vocal track as a mp3 file is emailed to the member doing the mixing.
