benny82 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Somehow I couldn't get this song out of my head, so I just had to do a recording of it https://app.box.com/s/09w5zru9hcakz34m250ya21iwidv0xhc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted February 22, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 Sounds good Benny. The last few songs I recorded were just to stop the song from repeating in my head. Somehow recording it seems to purge it from the system. Then something else gets stuck and the process repeats............... "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted February 22, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 My wife has been putting a few select songs on repeat and playing one song all day. One of them is "Nights in White Satin". Not one of my favorite songs but it is OK. I had to record it to stop it from playing in my head. I may post it later on today. Another one is Adeles' "Hello". I haven't recorded that one yet but I may have to. "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member aravindmadis Posted February 22, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 Goodness Benny! You sound amazing(I am sure you hear it a lot)! What a wonderful deep voice you have. I guess you are a bass right.. Such a rare voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me some time to realize that though Sometimes it's okay to realize what your voice is. Once I realized and accepted that I would never be baritone, let alone bass,I could accept being a tenor and work with my voice that way to free it up. I'll never be able to do Caiaphas from JC Superstar, but I can still admire those who can. "Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here.

TMV World Legacy Member KillerKu Posted February 28, 2016 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 28, 2016 I liked this. I hadn't gotten to hear your voice much yet. It's a great timbre, good song, and good rendition. The only thing, and I'm not sure if it's production, but I'd have preferred just a bit more dynamics. Like a bit more contrast between say a wispier timbre and a full throated bass/baritone thing. It might depend on how far away you are from the mic. It's just preference, but when I hear Cash, he has a relatively limited pitch range, but the volumes are quite varied per pitch, so there's kind of a rhythmic syncopation to the volumes. I think it helps a lot on songs with limited pitch range. Close micing can help bring out those differences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny82 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes, it was like "quick and dirty" from the production side. I just captured everything through my condenser mic (guitar and vocals), setting the mic in a distance where it is about the same distance to my mouth and to the guitar. Of course I adjusted my singing to be able to carry over the volume of the guitar, but no post-processing of volumes etc. I agree, it is someting that makes Johnny's singing particularly interesting that he often switches to a more quiet, speech-like mode of singing which creates accentuation.
