It's also being embraced by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The instrument is mainly there so that you don't mess up, when tuned it has perfect pitch and you can figure out from there, but it isn't a necessity. Not Helpful 18 Helpful Regardless of the notes others are singing, you can find other harmonizing notes to sing within the range of your voice. Not Helpful 4 Helpful It depends on your pace.

Some people will accelerate at impossible speeds, but it might take others a little longer. Though you probably won't be the next Michael Jackson tommorrow, practice makes perfect. Not Helpful 11 Helpful For most choral songs, sheet music is normally included along with harmonies. If it dosen't, you would want to have a look at the key signature and use those notes in the scale to help find the harmonies, making sure that they fit in with the overall tone of the song. Not Helpful 8 Helpful You can listen to the given melody of a song, and carefully sing that note and sing up two steps.

Then continue singing with the melody, but with the harmony that you've just created, which is a third; for example, the melody is on C, so you sing on E. One of the easiest ways to improvise harmonies is by singing an octave above or below, as it's the easiest to pick up by ear. How to harmonize within the chord G , but the leading melody line has no G, but A?

The G triad is G, D and B. A is the second of G, you should play G 9 , but if you play this chord there would be two intervals of a second, which can be quite dissonant. It depends of the other notes of the melody line, but it is recommended that you play G 9. Not Helpful 17 Helpful Like you would in any other scale, just keep in mind that it has F and C.

Alice Garcia Mar 10, Richard Freemantle Sep 2, Why to use a C minor for E music was not clear. I participated in Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir IV, but had to make my recording online because every attempt I made to record it to my computer resulted in delay between video and audio. Will your tutorials help me find a way around my previous problems?

Hi Kathryn. I just watched the TED Talk of the virtual choir and was really impressed. What an awesome idea. But to answer your question, I don't think you'd need to get a full tutorial course just for this issue though they are good for learning the basics of good audio recording, but then I'm a bit biased;. I can give you a couple of ideas right here as to why it happened and how to solve it.

I'm assuming you were recording with a mic plugged into a computer's sound card? If so, you will get "latency" because those mic input jacks aren't designed with precision recording in mind. If you use a USB mic, the problem should go away. And if you go to an even better setup - an audio interface unit connected to your computer via USB, usually with a large diaphragm condenser mic plugged into the interface, you also shouldn't have a problem.

If you've already tried one or both of these methods and somehow still have the delay issue I can't think how you would, but I never discount what can go wrong when computers and devices are connected , you can open your video editing program not sure which one you were using and literally drag the audio track left or right to match the video. You can do this in Reaper my preferred audio recording software, which just happens to let you edit audio as well!

Great video! I will follow your instructions on how to do this but first, can you tell me what type of camera you used to film yourself and how you actually combined the sound and video? And maybe tell me how you put the video on youtube?

I used a Canon Vixia camcorder. I recorded the audio separately. Then I used Vegas video editor and removed the camcorder audio and inserted the previously recorded audio on the video. It was basically recorded like a music video. I hope that helps.

Pretty amazing stuff YOU can do Someone had referred me to you.. Google online I had worked in radio after going to college and taking radio broadcasting course. Worked in the field for about 15 yrs and was laid-off work for the first time It took some time to learn how to speed read a script and known where to put emphasis on certain words or the delivery.

This is where YOU come in Ken Thanks Gary! I'm in the middle of a long industrial voiceover job right now - eLearning. I'm using that interface and a Rode NT2-A. Takitta - no there is no app to do the videos. Nor is there an app that lets you do full harmony parts like this. I believe there are some apps that will create harmonies, but not well enough to to control each part would only do like a third above or below a target note. Also, even the best harmonizing software for use on non-mobile devices still sounds a bit unnatural.

No, I sang and recorded each part. Then I created the video by actually filming myself. This is pretty awesome. I'm gonna try it once back home.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Oh, and you have a really good voice voices. Crystal - there are no apps:. You sing the first part. You listen to it while you sing the next part on a new track using multitrack software like Audacity or Reaper. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you for this website! Thank you Ken.

Thank you! Hi Misty. Absolutely yes! There are limitations, such as noise and a bit of latency a slight delay when adding additional tracks , but these can be worked around. Of course the "how to" methods are covered in the videos.

Yes, you sure can. There are lots of different ways to transfer audio from your phone to your computer. I'm familiar with the iPhone, and you can just "Share" the audio files via email, or to DropBox, etc. If you also have a Mac, you AirDrop it across. As far as types of computer, it doesn't matter. It is up to your preference. Regardless of what kind of phone you have or application you use to record, there will be an option to email it to yourself, at the very least.

Some apps like IK Multimedia ones, I think have their own site where the audio files can be uploaded. Then they give you a URL so you can download it. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching and listening to this. So much fun! I would love to try it but I'm pretty sure it will be awful. Maybe funny, though! Thank you so much, Ken for putting a huge smile on my face today. I did not use an app for this.

It's just recording software on the computer and you connect a mic and sing. That's it. There is an application, currently for iPhone and iPad, that allows you to do this. Please search for hashtag melodylab on Instagram. The app is free and can be downloaded from the App Store. I am currently working on an Android version of the App, hoping to get it out on Google Play very soon! Not unless it allows you to change chords at the right time and other very specific controls.

Does your app do that? I'll check it out though. You're welcome Mike:. I'm actually releasing a course this coming week called "Harmony Recording Awesomeness," which you might be interested in. I'll post here when it's available and I'll also send out a notice to the mailing list. Not sure if you're on that or not. I have an instrumental of a song and want to sing with my voice over that music to make a beautiful song. Can this tutorial help me in doing that? It will Mohit, yes.

It reviews the basics of using either Audacity free software or Reaper to put audio on one track and a voice on another separate track, which is how you would do that. Ken, I hope to have my own virtual choir one day and am just getting started. This has helped immensely and the great thing is, every member can download Audacity for themselves!

So cool. Loved your demo harmony! Great sound! I am really pleased to come across your website. I am trying to record some songs with harmonies and with your explanation I think i can make it.

Thanks alot. Thanks for the notice. I'm in the middle of moving my site and those links broke. Fixing now. I'll let you know when it's fixed. Sorry about that!
