napoleonboot Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The pmu song, the vocals sung like they are tracked multiple times, and they all sound out of tune. Same for gtr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashiels1983 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 PMU the vox were tracked mult times it was a week performance on the gtr and the vox I felt, I was going to leave that track out for that reason. The idea with the vox was to have the main vocal and a backing behind it almost in a round. thanks for listing and replying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleonboot Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Rather than getting fancy, why not just record a single line of you singing against something to start with and let's go from there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronws Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Witchy Woman - off pitch everywhere. Not a single note on pitch. That takes some kind of concentration. Is this a test to see what we will say? I always find it extremely odd when a bass player has no sense of harmony. For the bass is a harmonic instrument and the singer sings against the bass, actually. All I can say is get to a coach or someone with a set of ears that can hear pitch. Then, play the pitches on an instrument that is actually tuned and let them be merciless until you have matched the pitch. You are not visualizing or feeling the notes and that is why you are off.; And that's the nicest way I can put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Ellen Vocalist Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Most of the pitches weren'y great. record yourself over and over again. Find a note that is comfortable for you to sing and play it, then visualise the note (without singing it) for a few seconds, then sing it. Do this on one note, then 2, then 3, then 4 etc and work your way up to long phrases. You will get there if you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleonboot Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ron: I think it's a test to check you don't automatically say "Good Job" to everyone. You passed. ashiels1983: Honestly listen to yourself on these recordings. If you cant tell yourself that you are out of tune pretty much all the time then you are a lost cause. If you can hear that then you've got starting place. Gina had some good suggestions. Record yourself, listen back, and don't let your self get away with anything that is less than good.

ronws Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 George, you're just saying that to give me some cred. That's so sweet. Either it was a test or I may have hurt some feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDEW Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ashiels, Can you tell when your bass is out of tune? Can you tune your bass by listening to it? Are you playing the bass on these samples that you posted? And did you figure out the bass lines for these song? If you answered yes to any of these questions you too can learn to sing. You need to learn how to match your voice to different pitches. Start by matching one note at a time on your bass. Strike a note on your bass. Open D 3rd string. That is the second smallest string on your bass. Listen to the note and your voice at the same time. Try to match the sound of your voice to the sound of the bass.
