Vocal RPG 2 - JHolmes

13th Nov 2009 21:21 - 16 years ago
Description : Epic a capella music. Up to ten layers at a time, twenty one loops/sessions. Recorded with a simple headset/boom mic, so the quality is a bit low fi. There's a reverb channel on the whole thing that will probably be toned down a bit.

All vocal loops are my own. I'll throw them up in the a capella section on this site at some point.

The rhythm section is now done by my younger brother. I drove up to visit him a week or two ago and hung out for a few hours. In the time, we talked about life, cars, music, and got caught up on the last few months. I was excited to show him my (quite novice) attempts at beat boxing. When I played the track, I was really happy with the vocals, but the terrible rhythm section was detracting from the track.

... so I turned it off, set up a quick click track, handed the headset to my brother, and said "go." It took a few tries and a bit of explaining, but eventually we recorded about ten minutes of him laying down a beat that blew my mind.

I took three that I really liked the sound of and put them through some reverb and minor levels adjustment, rearranged them to cover the length of the song and fit the builds, but otherwise left them alone. I think it's a lot better now.

Thank you. I was supposed to make about 15 more of these style tracks, but my buddy still hasn't asked me to make them.

I guess he didn't like it :-\

Thanks! I'm glad I got the rhythm figured out; it wasn't as good until I got my younger brother in on the project.

I really like the output of this project you're working on! Playing a game with a soundtrack like this would be groovy! Very creative and gutsy!

Thank you. I'm really getting excited by it too. It's surprisingly easy to do. The whole project right now is just under 20 loops out of maybe 25 takes.
