I don’t know of any good way to make a list of all my store DLC. Guess again I suppose? lol
Setlist Manager in C3 CON Tools.
Thank you! Now I have a request list linked on the OP that anyone can use to see what songs are available to request!
Yea… we’ll see about that one. I don’t know though I was 100% sure that the GNR video would be smacked down in 2 seconds of completing upload.
GnR don’t actively go after anybody posting videos, the agency behind Supertramp does. But hey, feel free to not trust us and post away.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />I have recorded all parts needed for Time Again.
For the choir intro I did a 6-part harmony.
Unfortunately for you, editing is going to take awhile this beast.
Separate the bad takes from the good takes.
Fix up the sound.
Sync the vocals together.
Sync the synced vocals with the video.
Make sure nothing clips…
25 minutes of audio/video to rummage through for a 5min song.
Several hours later and lots of detailed editing…
Time Again is all done.
Upload coming soon.
The 6-part harmony choir sounds slightly demonic. Then again every choir sounds slightly demonic.
Time Again is now uploaded. Really glad how the whole thing turned out. The choir part still freaks me out a bit to think that is all my voice.
Most of my videos are being blocked exclusively in Germany. If you live in Germany you’re going to have to get a proxy / VPN to watch my videos.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” /> To everyone else…. enjoy! 
Today’s solo release:
- Hey Man Nice Shot – Seriously underrated song. I would rate this song a 4 or 5 stars at least. The pitch changes in the verses are really random and subtle. Then the chorus is all in the next octave above it. My head voice seems weak to me on this song during the chorus. I think everything but the very end may be done in a chest voice prominante head voice mix but I don’t have the training to do mixed voice that good yet. So I use mostly all head voice. It sounds decent but a lot lighter than the original.
- Foolin’ – Great song. If you like hearing my head voice (falsetto) then you’ll enjoy this. I love singing the end where it jumps a bit higher on the pitches “oh NO no!”.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” /> - Somebody To Love – My god. This song is brutal. I don’t know how to explain it but let’s just say it’s harder than Good Vibration’s (Live). I still think Bohemian Rhapsody is the hardest official song though. Anyways… you want to see my first FC of this beast in original octave / no octave switching? Head on over to the video lounge. I loved how the whole video turned out. A great mix of head voice and chest voice. I always enjoy singing Freddy (Queen) and it always provides a challenge to overcome. This will definitely be a harmony video in the future (as I have the RB3 version).
I think I’m going to focus on getting all FC videos of the RB3 disc first, then RB2, then RB1. Then I’ll work on extra discs (like Lego and track packs). Then I’ll finish off with DLC / C3 customs being injected every now and then.
Of course for harmony videos user requests and C3 customs will be the primary target.
Coming soon is a One Man Harmony video of “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak released this week!
Harmony videos do take a lot of effort to edit together but this one was so easy to sing (suited well for my particular voice type) that I was able to get good takes really quick. It was this week’s release so I thought why not have an extra harmony release.
Stay tuned and stay frosty!
A little update.
-Figured out how to record karaoke tracks direct from the Xbox 360 for those songs that have full multitracks. Now all my future songs (excluding C3 songs without multitracks of course) can have nice clean backing tracks without it sounding like a duet.
Songs To Redo:
- Hey Man, Nice Shot
- I Get By
- Somebody To Love
- Mr. Roboto – might redo the vocals as well because I wasn’t happy on my voice breaking during the middle breakdown.
Songs not on this list either are deleted or never had a separate vocals recorded for it.
-Had “Wicked Game” done and realized I missed a harmony section. Will get that done today sometime and get that harmony video released soon.
-New solo songs being released sometime soon:
- All of RB3 devil tiered songs.
- Break On Through
- Hardest Button To Button
- In The Meantime
- Werewolves of London
-Going to make some new spreadsheets under the request lists that will list my solo progress and songs I had to octave switch on.
Stay tuned and thanks as always for watching my videos!
Huge update!
Released today…
One Man Harmonies: Wicked Game (Chriss Isaak), Take On Me (a-ha)
Fixed Solo: foolin, hey man nice shot, i get by, mr roboto, somebody to love, werewolves of london
New Solo: break on through, crosstown traffic, humanoid, i got you, in the meantime, lasso, llama, me enamora, misery business, need you tonight, one armed scissor, plush, the hardest button to button
Humanoid, Me Enamora, and Mr. Roboto are blocked in Germany. The rest are available world-wide.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />Well bummer on the Rose of Jericho. They’re not terribly difficult songs to sing, but I find them a lot of fun.
As for a new request… well, I’ll just go with one of my straight up favorite songs of all time. “Peaches” by POTUS.
edit: Fuck me. I just accidently permanently overwritten the vocal tracks for Bicycle Race and Death On Two Legs with the karaoke tracks.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_emot-3.gif” />edit: Re-FC’ed the bitches and not making that mistake ever again.
edit: Decided what the harmonies will be this week (look below) and recorded it twice because the first time the cord was disconnected. Give me hugs.
edit: Peaches and Tangled Up In Blue were blocked worldwide. I will try re-uploading without the backing track. TUIB is official content so you would think that it would be fair use as it’s just playing a game I bought… as if the robot detection system would even care.
edit: I’m not going to try and fight Youtube’s system at all. Any video that taken down will be uploaded to my google drive so you can enjoy the full, original quality video. Link to this drive will be placed in the first / original post.
You guys will enjoy this week’s release. I know I did.
Some very tough songs were FC’ed. some for the first time ever.
Solo Releases (coming soon)
- Good Vibrations (Live) – This was uploaded without a clean vocals track previously. Re’FC’ed it getting my old all-time highscore with a clean vocals track.
- Smooth – First Time FC! Tough song to sing in the original octave if you aren’t a bass singer. Really pushes the lower bounds of my baritone voice. I doubt any girl could sing this song in the original octaves. Besides it being really low it also displays 3 different octaves which means it requires singing quite high in comparison to the low parts of the song. It also jumps up and down the chart like it’s nothing with semitones (singing flat / sharp) being here and there.
- Video Games – Not a difficult song to sing by any means what you get the off key singing memorized. Was just a fun short song I felt like doing.
- Creepin Up The Backstairs – The tempo is so fast that I can not read the lyrics properly. The pitches change so abruptly and AT THE END OF THE PHRASE (counts the most) that this song is a hit or miss if you get a 99% or 100% FC. Very short range but fast.
- Bicycle Race – First Time FC! Tried this song so many times and I always failed on the low “Bi-cycle race” part towards the middle and the really high “Bi” part at the end of the middle. The sudden drop on the “fat bottomed girls… OH YEAH” usually threw me off an FC run too. This song is tough! Any Queen song is tough damn!
- Death On Two Legs – First Time FC! GAH! I hate / love singing this song. Great song on other instruments and the vocals is just non-stop up and down the chart…. and those phrases at the end that are complete octave switches or more like 4 times in one phrase for several phrases! Grrr! Can’t believe I got this one. I have had this song for a long time and could never get the FC on this.
- Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger – YUP. FINALLY got this shit FC’ed on video. This is without a doubt the HARDEST song to FC in my library. Why? Because the vocoder (not the vocals) is charted. It’s like trying to sing a well played piano song. Imagine trying to sing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. I have sang this song over a 100 times now and it’s still a guessing game at some parts. An FC is never guaranteed. So far I have only FC’ed it 2 times out of the 100+ times I have sang this.
- (BLOCKED) Tangled Up In Blue – God I hate this song. Just ugh. Glad this is done. No longer will I have to sing this.
- High Voltage – “A guessing game.” Which pitch will he randomly hit next? No one knows!
Harmonies Release
- (BLOCKED) “Peached” by POTUS – Oh my god I did not this was THAT song. This song is what me and my supervisor and my first job bonded over. I never really knew the song but enjoyed singing it with him all day. Even he didn’t know who the song was by. Now years later… I found out so I had to do it this week. Was fun singing. Did an extra harmony on the Bridge section.
-Added “Peaches” by POTUS to the request list.
-I should add that I don’t consider requests based on first come first serve but how easy or tough the song is to get done and how well I like it. For instance Tegan and Sara will be awhile because so songs are hard for me to sing and I don’t like them that much. Sorry!
Recording things:
-Figured out recording in 192kHz was stupid but 32-bit was good. For output anything more than 16-bit 44.1kHz is quite redundant, but I like the even number of 48kHz so I use that. Currently using FLAC as output. Tried using OGG but I have a lot of storage space so FLAC is not really presenting a problem and FLAC is lossless.
-Figured out I needed to set my DAW (Audacity) and pre-amp to 50% gain. Along with removing the mic cord from sitting on top of the big surge protector seemed to get rid of the very annoying loud buzz (this can clearly be heard in the Chriss Isaak video).
-Figured out I should record vocals in mono and not stereo like had been doing. I think all the 2nd channel does is amplify the first channel and distort it maybe. I don’t know but mono takes up less space, is faster and easier to work with and provides no faults.
That about sums it up!
Hopefully this means much cleaner sounding vocals on future videos.
As of right now the new soon to be uploaded solo release videos sound very clean!
Bah! Here’s to hoping you can get Peaches uploaded at some point!edit: I’m not going to try and fight Youtube’s system at all. Any video that taken down will be uploaded to my google drive so you can enjoy the full, original quality video. Link to this drive will be placed in the first / original post.
Yeah it makes no sense…
has million views, not official, not a cover, and still up.
Check this shit out: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ … ts+peaches
What the fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ … up+in+blue
This has less blatant rips and does have an official upload but still.
Why does the robot system pull my 0 view cover video down but leaves a blatant 30k view rip up.
edit: Also the Peaches notice was funny as hell.
