The Singer's Forum

How about we pick a one song and we records ourselves singing it. You can use backing tracks, solo, one instrument, whatever and share with the group. We can give each other constructive critism. We can limit it to one one verse, pre-chorus, chorus...less than one minute. We can start with easy singers to cover like Neil Young or Bob Dylan or someone who sticks to an easy melody for us to discover our voice with their music. We can pick a new song every 15 days or so.

Who wants to play?

[Masklin]

Me me me me me me!


Do we all sing/play the same song every 15 days, or do we choose a single song each?

[gearo999]

We would each sing the same song. And every 15 days pick a new one to work on.

[Masklin]

Sounds like heaps of fun. When do we start?

[ScratchTracks]

that sounds fun... i'm more of a 90's guy myself.. but we'll see how it goes ;-)

[gearo999]

How about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JV74i4yvcA

[Masklin]

It's a rather high register. =/

Sounds fun. Count me in.

Do you have a recommendation? I'm up for anything except rap.

[Masklin]

Actually, my complaint about the register being high was probably just an excuse - I suppose I don't really like the song.

... which goes to show a potentially high obstacle for this thread. We don't generally share taste in music, so how do we find a song that everybody likes enough to record?

I could suggest a few songs, but the chance is rather low that everbody else will agree on any of those songs. So I'll just namedrop a few names whose songs I generally like:


Pink Floyd
Bob Dylan
Rolling stones
Coldplay (?)
Queen
Leonard Cohen
...

Hmm. Mjeah.

Are we all going to work off of set music or are we on our own to produce the whole thing? I could probably a backing track for the first verse and chorus.

It would be very cool if you could provide a backing track for the first verse and chorus.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here----want to do that one?

[Bajazz]

Mustang Sally?

[b_f_c_99]

I'll whip up something, probably be next week.

[b_f_c_99]

Quick and dirty track. Timing is a little different at the start, if its a problem I'll redo. Can you download this off of soundcloud?

Sure. It's still a rather high register but I'm guessing we could transpose if we want to?

Perhaps you could make a poll, so we know that people are agreeing on a single song before we start.

I have a question. How do I download the song? I want to import it into my daw so I can sing over it and mix it down.

[PrivRyan]

I wanna join. Please. Do we upload all our recordings to soundcloud then?
