I am currently working on putting the music to 'Sudden Sunset onto fruity loops, and I tried the Vocoder there, except it doesn't sound too good, so, if anyone is interested, I would love it if they were game enough to record vocals alongside the FL track. I'll tell you when I've finished it, I may have to do several tracks due to time and tempo changes. I commend anyone who welcomes this challenge, as long as they can sing it better than me (not too hard!)

Ok, I just finished it, however it is fairly basic and the vocals are ESSENTIAL. So, I'll post the track up in the audio review soon and post the lyrics and ask again about the collab.
Cheers!

 

And see what it's about...    Perhaps, me or Nakedtoes4me can do something....

Toastedgoat has offered to try it, but it'd be great to get a second perspective on the song. I'll send you some of the details, the same stuff I sent to toastedgoat.

Thanks for offering up on this. It's not an easy thing to do, especially since I can't describe every little detail on how I'd like the song sung (although I have given plenty of direction).

Cheers! 

really liked the track I was thinking of a depeche mode kind of vocals but I've got a massive cold at the moment so I don't think I can pull it off

Here's another to add to the list, I'd also like to know how you want the vocals, because I'd like to give it a try!


You can talk / sing your way through an explanation as an MP3 and send it out
Or catch up with someone through Skype or Msn

These things would indeed be helpful, but there's a problem there. I don't have a microphone to do a basic speech/rough vocals, and I don't have skype, however, I can use msn, although the downfall being that I can't get the audio across that the others do.  It would just be, my form of the song, broken down to words, then becoming another form of the song. But because of this, there should be some interesting results coming out of this.

And if anyone else is interested, or you want more information, my msn is shanecart9@hotmail.com
Cheers again! 

Ok, now here's a question for you, Best possibility, Jimk, kings and toastedgoat have all said to have a look/try, so if you all don't go insane with frustration (how do I do this??!) there'll be three versions of the same song, each with a different vocalist. Am I able to put all three onto the forums or is there a problem with that?

Can't wait to see what you come up with    and neither can my mum (she'll probably want a live performance too). Maybe, when I get set up with recording (probably at the end of the year at the earliest) there could be an acoustic version, if I can even sing it well. But that's for the distant future...

Emailed mine to ya.....   If you want I can just up it under my name, that way, when all three versions are done, all three can be online, so they can be heard without you having to have 4 versions online under your name...

         Let me know if that sounds like a plan..  I'll post it as Sudden Sunset collab

I've been busy and had some time for my self so I recorded a vocal of my own!
I'm off to try and post it now.
I will get to this as soon as the moon!

DiDing Aaa I forgot IE does that for the spellchecker!

It's right HERE

  Hope everyone likes it....   It was fun....   I love the song... It has such emotion and power in the lyric content..

     I tried my best to give it a vocal performance worthy.....

i have started working on my version. I should have it done next day or so. I have a question though. I would like to change the lyrics around just a little for better rythymical (is this a word?) feel. i'll send you the changes to see if it's ok with you.

should be fine, I noticed Jim's alterations on the last chorus and I loved it, awesome stuff Jim! I'm pretty sure rhythmical is a word, and I can't wait to hear what you've done!

Cheers

I posted it  I saw that Jim did that so I went ahead and posted this one. It's not great. I can fix some of the stuff with punch in later. I spent 3 hours doing just this much, I guess I'm getting old and slow.  most of that was trying to figure out how I was gonna sing it. i'll edit out the noise and chair squeaks tomorrow.
