Major-Third Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hey. I've posted here before, but I'm making a come-back, so to speak. I just got in my brand new keyboard and wanted to test it out. It was requested that I perform this song. Tell me what you think? Not just about the vocals, but about the piano playing as well. I know it isn't exact, but I aim to add my own style to everything I cover. Also, check out the rest of my channel. I play guitar, but not as fluently as piano. Enjoy, Major-Third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Sounds awesome! Did you play and sing at the same time or track? Was a pleasure to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major-Third Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well actually I tried many times to play and sing simultaneously. The problem was you could hear my fingers cliking against the keys. So I played it and sang it (While recording to the actual keyboard) Then I just played it back and sang. That solved the problem.

Quincy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Sounded great! Your recordings have gotten a lot better quality. Piano playing was spot on and the tone of your keyboard sounds rich. Nice sounding background keys? also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major-Third Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Sounded great! Your recordings have gotten a lot better quality. Piano playing was spot on and the tone of your keyboard sounds rich. Nice sounding background keys? also. Yeah. I set the keyboard to split. Grand Piano Main, and String background. I don't like to use actual karaoke or background tracks, and I never use any effects on my voice or instruments. The reason the quality has improved is I bought a new audio/video recorder. Samsung Zoom q3hd. It has really good audio recording for the price. I would be uploading actual videos of myself playing, but The internet I have at home is very slow. Maybe when I get a chance to use faster internet, I will upload the video I have of myself playing and singing "Waiting for my real life to begin" by colin hay.

Whitelash Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I really liked this. The timbre of your voice matches the music very well and you had great control during the vocal runs. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Ellen Vocalist Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Brilliant. The chorus in particular. Strangely you seem to have more control over the higher parts than the lower verse. Some of the lower notes sound like they might possibly be too low. Something to work on perhaps. But I really enjoyed you spin on this song, well done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
