Hey all

I wanted to show you the first attempt of Eye of the Tiger I've done in a while. I want to study this song and master it, I'd really like to have it as repertoire.  

 

 
 
 
Thanks in advance for any comments

Thanks... agreed. I thought it was a good mix too... Click here for the DAW plugins post...
We Used:
RODE K2 Tube Mic and from waves...
CLA Doubler and from the focus rite plugins that come from their scarlette interfaces
Compression (medium template with the threshold throttled to about "10:00". EQ I also mastered the bed track to make it "pop" more with
Vitamin And had a good singer to work with!
 

Did this one today, this is a challenging song in many ways for me. I'm trying to use this song to strengthen headvoice and deepen the headvoice placement, relying more on CT muscle or whatever is going on (leaning into headvoice instead of chest), and letting the TA relax more. So easily this becomes shouting and full power, I try not to. Also trying to manage the abundance of words and consonants

What do you guys think?

Hi Anthony,
The Book was just picked up by an international, on-demand printer and distributor that is distributing the book into God knows how many retail outlets now. Which I suppose is a good thing, but the deal went through only about two weeks ago, so some of the information that is "fed" out to the retailers is slow going... and you can't imagine what a headache it has been working with the main retailer, amazon.com to get things right. Anyways, my point is... things are a little bit in a transition right now. The description across all networks needs to be updated to point out that the $49 offer is only the book and is not the complete training system with all the videos and media.
To be clear, the $49 ( or currency exchange equivalent ) is ONLY the hard copy book. I could never offer the complete program, for $49. Im glad you have a hard copy because its a lot easier to read then a 616 page PDF! So you are on the right track... NOW you need the training content.
If you look inside the book, toward the front of the book and again before the training routines, there is a page that explains that the training content is found at an online, web based system which is currently here: http://ondemand.thevocaliststudio.com/.  You will find a discount code that accounts for the hard copy purchase. The total investment for the complete "The Four Pillars of Singing" training system is $197. The discount code discounts $50.
For your inconvenience, contact me on private email and Ill give you a different code and sweeten the deal for you a bit more the $50 because of the confusion. 

No problem, I missed what you were specifically asking the first time round!
 
I just play the sound back in the room and sing through the mic. If I played just the vocal track you would be able to hear the other instruments bleeding through the mic. It's not the best way to do things but I don't currently own a decent set of studio headphones. I just keep the mic far away from the speakers and play the track quietly as I sing. Since the vocals get played over the same track in the final mix I don't see the harm in doing it this way for now.

Technically, brazilians speak Portugeuse but it is a latin language. To me, it sounds like european spanish, not castillian but with that kind of cadence. And it sounds different than the columbian accent, which sounds a little more central american. However, some of those accents can vary. I worked with a guy from Honduras and he had a european accent but I think that was from education. I have a crew member at work who is from El Salvador and he sounds like a spanish version of Christopher Walken. "Yo necessito mas cowbell!"
The other guys on our crews are from Mexico but their accents are different depending on what region and amount of education. The service tech is from Guadalajara but he speaks slowly and clearly, almost classically. Another guy, I call him a hillbilly because he is from the mountains and has an accent so thick, even in spanish, others have a challenge understanding him. His ah sound is what I would call "straight up."
One of my bosses (two owners of the company) has a wife who is from Bolivia. And she sounds "tex-mex" when she speaks in spanish. 
I have a bit of a handle on the midlands accent in England with good examples like Glenn Hughes and Tony Iommi. Though culture might affect accent, too. Rob Halford is from the midlands but he can sound liverpudlian at times. 
And my friend, Heath, from Manchester, sounded almost scottish when I first met him. But he is british-born, served as an SAS sniper in Bosnia.

ok, then. I got start listening to this one... Good job "Challenge Master"!

Oh snap! I guess I got put on my cowboy hat for this one...

ok, then. I got start listening to this one... Good job "Challenge Master"!

I would just go with "i cant make you love me" and "feeling gewd"

"I can't Make you love me"... you mean the Bonnie Raitt song?  Because if that is one of the songs you guys are going to do, then I'm frickin in!  That is a great song to learn and to sing... 
 

Thanks Gnee!  Well, that is nice to hear haha. I have recent recordings in better shape, but I wanted to test out how do you hear the "worse".
 I'll keep working on my recovery

Haha! You come here showing off your vocal prowess and tell us to keep the faith. Love it!

\m/ rock on!

​  I was thinking more on the lines of  George Thorogood distortion on the lower octave and change the words a little.
   Nobody gonna take my Dew.....Gonna drink it till I die.
  Nobody gonna get my Dew....Let me tell you why
  Ooooh Its slimey and Green, All Caffene........ I love it!   I need it!    I feed it!
  It's a wild ride ... All Right....Hold Tight......   I've got some in my Car...........

​How about "Highway Star" as sung by Willie Nelson? No one has done that, yet.
Little bit of that Willie walking bass run on an acoustic guitar .....
 

Train, Train would be good and a hit with my wife. It is her favorite song by Blackfoot and one of her favorites, in general.
Just a couple of old hippies grooving along ...
 

Just think whatever you need to think to produce that coordination

Well done Ronws! Awesome singing! I liked your tone, and it kind of reminded me of ZZ Top! I just think you need to tighten your timing in a couple of parts. Keep on Rocking!
