Hi Darren and thank you for your compliment.
Dimestop is ok .He wanted to take more time with his children and grandchildren and he is right . I think he was a little to much busy with music and rap . But im sure he will come back 1 day to a lesser extent
Hello RitajustRita, just enjoyed your track, your voice sort of gives you the feeling in this track that if you screw up you gonna get just what you're asking for and it ain't good.....your vocals are always great to hear. The music matches the lyrics and tone of this piece very well.
Hi Glenn.
Im glad you enjoyed it.
And yes...Some people can screw up time after time and get changes time after time...but there will come a time when im done and then they can meet the other side of me lol.
Thanx for your compliment.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment.
For a few years I only made beats
About a year ago I started using a word like vox.
And now I sing whole lyricsbut still It's a miracle to me that a singing sound comes out of my throat.
Hi Rita, I did not do much, just tweak a little bit.
The extra voices is you, I took 4 copies of your vocal for the chorus parts.
Each copy received some treatment to have slightly different timbre and timings like it was sang by someone else.
==TECHNICAL=START=
Reaper has stretch markers to compress/stretch parts of an audio item. So I stretched/compressed each copy on multiple points in the audio a little bit to have slightly different timings for each voice, then pitched up 1 octave and corrected the formant (avoid mickey mouse voice) so each voice sounds a little bit different, and different to your original)
==TECHNICAL=END=
Normally you would have a real choir. But you can simulate that yourself by singing multiple extra takes for the chorus ("choir") like you do for the background voice, now just more takes (separate recordings/audio files), and in this case preferably 1 octave higher to eliminate the need to pitch.
==TECHNICAL=START=
Put each "choir" take in a separate track in your DAW, match all roughly to your you main vocal so they sound like a "choir", then spread the voices by changing the PAN for each "choir" voice, you get width in the sound. If possible group them or send the output to a bus, put some reverb on the "choir" and take the "choir" volume down, the main vocal should virtually stand in front of the audience, the "choir" in the back accompanying the main vocalist, adjust to your taste.
==TECHNICAL=END=
The guitar part was a VST (NI Kontakt, lib Kontakt, Rock Guitar) with an automation on volume to fade the guitar sound in and out.
As mentioned before, I loved your original track and just had to "play" with it :-)
Dankje Frans.Ik had in mail al gelezen hoe je het had gedaan en ik ben nu aan de slag gegaan om met een ander nummer ook een beetje te spelen met de panning en pitch en mijn vocal 3 keer een ander geluid te geven.
Ik stuur hem naar je.Ik ben benieuwd wat je ervan vind.
In iedergeval heel erg bedankt voor je uitgebreide uitleg.
Beautifully done. Cool lyrics and I say again, I love the timbre of your voice. Ha, predictive text tried to change timbre to timber... That would have been weird lol.
Hey Chris
Thank you so much.
I needed to translate the meaning of Timbre and timber so lets keep it timbre lol
But you know it can be timber...i love parfume with a timber smell (and neroli )so if my voice sounds a little like that its also ok
Hello RitajustRita, very much enjoyed this blues ballad, love the guitar....and the overall deep haunting feel of the track about being a loner......good stuff once again.
This was loud compared to glennwhites jazz piece!! Everyone's said it already, great vocal great track. Don't know about Tarantino, I get more Nina Simone.
Hey, dat kan altijd. Ik heb dat zeker; sommige dagen haal ik de hoge G en sommige dagen kom ik niet eens in de buurt. Ik speel af en toe "Angels" van Robbie Williams, ook live, en sommige dagen doe it het maar liever niet omdat ik weet dat "...and through it ALL" niet gaat lukken :)
Wat helpt is om je stem te beschermen zoals je een dure gitaar of een hobo zou beschermen. Even inzingen. Doe een toonladder: do re mi fa so la ti do. Do ti la so fa mi re do. Nu 1 hoger. Nog 1. Neem een lepel honing of een boterbabbelaar op een dag dat het niet zo goed voelt. Oefenen. Neem 1 song die je goed kent die je elke dag zingt, zodat je meteen weet hoe je stem voelt. Stop op tijd.
Ook: er is altijd een bepaalde curve in je vooruitgang. Eerst denk je oh ik kan er niks van. Dan leer je wat en denk je oh, ik kan dit. Dan leer je weer wat en je denkt oh, ik ben echt slecht. Dat klopt allemaal, en DAN begint de echte groei.
Misschien ben je daar: je hebt ontdekt dat je het kan, maar ook dat je nog kan groeien. Dat is prima; zo lang je maar zorgt dat je het voor je plezier doet. Zingen is zo leuk!!
Hartstikke bedankt voor je uplifting uitleg Baobou.Ik zal je advies zeker opvolgen.Hier heb ik echt wat aan.
En ergens hoor ik de woorden van mijn zoon die vaak ook zoiets tegen mij zei maar dan betreft mijn beats. Ook daarin had ik vaak het gevoel dat ik maar beter kon stoppen. Hij zei dat juist als je aan het groeien bent en je krijgt de dingen steeds beter door dat je dan ook steeds meer ktitischer word.
Zingen is idd zo erg leuk...ik weet niet of mn buren het daar ook mee eens zijn lol
Thanks Baobou
I like to sing thats for sure.
But this days im thinking...ok this is it.
Something with my ears? with my throat? i dont know but my voice sounds different this days.
hey rita , i love your journey. those jazz tunes fits you very well and that smokey tone of your voice is pure soul. last years you send me some demos and i was impressed how well you get into this genre. my heart lights up to know that you keep exploring into this realm. your vibrato is on point and those lyrics hitting, love from a banana.
Hi Banana.
Thank you so much for your big compliment.
I wish i could find more music like this where im feeling that vibe .
Days im trying now but nothing comes out of my throat like this one.
Really, Rita. I would never have expected that from you. It's so completely different from anything we've heard from you before. But it just goes to show that sometimes you can get incredible results when you step out of your comfort zone. That's definitely the case here. The track is so harmonious with your voice, as if it was written for you. Very good - keep it up!
Best wishes,
Micky
Hi Mickey.
I never thought so either but miracles still happen lol.
I am also very happy with this result.
concerns the comfort zone.
It depends on me whether I feel the music and the vibe that I feel makes me sing like that.
Unfortunately, that is not often.
Thank you so much for your compliment and nice words.
