Bassmonkey Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 One of my pals who I play with at a bi monthly open mike night has asked that we do this. Next Sunday is the day. Luckily I have both shorts and baseball cap. Just as well cos I couldn't grow the beard! What could possibly go wrong.......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 [quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1392654824' post='2371124'] My first though was that the vocals were re-recorded or played with after recording. It may very well have been done that way on the night, I'm just very cynical and sceptical of anything I see on the internet. It's all a work, brother.

KevB Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Some of the processing with the TC Helicon stuff is getting quite sophisticated and they come in boxes small enough to have at your feet at a gig so who knows, though I think some of the harmonisers still sound a bit more 'artificial' than the sound in the OP's Africa clip. Vocal tweaking is probably here to stay so we might as well make the best of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] All very real indeed. - There is no Autotune, or Melodyne for that matter. Compression yep, maybe some chorus or ADT of some kind during the chorus (more than likely just from a foot pedal) Believe it or not, there are some folks out there who have good ranges and can sing in tune... Not every one is a Pro Tool.... Edited February 18, 2014 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
