      Even if you’ve watched the full interview on here, I’d recommend listening to the podcast also. For one, if you’re a “fanatic” or a “completist”, there is a different intro and outro on the podcast. For two, listening to the podcast truly is a different experience as there is no video to distract you, so you can truly “hear” and be “immersed” into the conversation.
      But, yes, you will not be able to see their beautiful and sometimes, goofy facial expressions.

      Love your videos. Only discovered them recently but I'm a big fan. Just wondering, if I want to take singing lessons to sing a rock type of vibe, what sort of teacher should I look for? There are so many from classical trained singers (for opera and stage) and great self taught singers plus many others. I don't want to start down a road and find it's not at all what I want or worse, I'm getting taught bad habits. I live in Australia and I need help on this subject if you have the time to help and knowledge (love your singing and it sounds like you came by it naturally with no lessons. Is that about right?)..... cheers mate.

    This is totally off subject, but I have to say it. Motorheart is a total kick ass album from beginning to end and it's criminal that the "music scene" in general hasn't recognized it as a classic album. If I've listened to it 100 times, then I've listened to Sticky Situations 300 times. It blows me away. As a southern man who takes his blues seriously, whoever played slide on the song has an automatic entry into the Southern music Hall of Fame. I'm chomping at the bit waiting for the next album.

  • @Birkguitars

    My take on "correctiion" in post. Came home from work some years ago and my wife had some unfamiliar piano music playing. Not typical for our taste but very pleasant to listen to. Just piano no vocals or other instruments and simple song like structures akin to verse chorus and middle eight. After a few minutes of listening I realised that whoever was playing sounded quite good. A few more minutes in and I am thinking they are actually really very good. A few more minutes and I am thinking they are [expletive] amazing! So I asked my wife what it was. The album was Sea Airs. The pianist was Rick Wakeman. "Correction" would have denied me that revelation to pick up the skill of the performer without knowing who it was. I want that human connection. Without it I question whether sounds can even be classified as music.

    • @matthewmcclure3181
      @matthewmcclure3181 Рік тому +1

      I hope people clearly understood the positive side of what she said about Melodyne, and recognize a "keeper" vocal take requires more than just being in pitch. The take(s) must also work in the greater context of the other tracks (tonally and timing). A vast majority of vocal tracks are compiled from multiple takes and the tonal variances between takes often require subtle production that has nothing to do with pitch. If you're using a DAW that automatically integrates Melodyne, it's a major workflow benefit... especially for comping.
      When applied tastefully/appropriately, Melodyne is one of the most valuable tools at our disposal (not just for vocals). I also use it for fine-tuning instruments (especially guitars), "pocketing" tracks in a musical way (i.e. not robotically snapping to grid), doubling and blending takes, elongating/curtailing notes, adjusting tamber (shifting formant), de-essing, and working out harmony arrangements too. I consider it an injustice to lump Melodyne into the same plugin family as the god-awful Antares Autotune.
      Just like Elizabeth, I seriously doubt a vast majority of listeners could pick out parts I've tweaked with Melodyne. On the downside, it's a highly manual and time-consuming process to do it right, and you need the polyphonic version ($$$) to get the most out of this production tool. I could go into a bit more detail on "how to" and "how not to" use Melodyne effectively, but won't further bog down this post unless someone is interested.

    There’s another point too. Being a Welshman, I have to be able to sing, but there’s nothing extraordinary about my voice. I was “forced ”, due to circumstances, to take the lead vocal role, whereas I see myself as a good backing vocal and prefer to concentrate on my guitar work. I have seen this with many bands, where the vocalist is mediocre and the band goes nowhere. Singing in tune ain’t always enough. I’m waffling…

      Imagine what the reaction channels would make of that!

    I'm so happy this wasn't edited out. I can personally understand the fear that your child may be born with or inherit a disability that wouldn't allow you, as a parent, to share such a massive joy like music with them. My daughter was almost completely deaf until she was 3, which was one of my biggest fears for her, and I was heartbroken thinking my daughter would never be able to hear music. Luckily, she had a procedure that reversed most of it and went on to learn to play 4 different instruments and has such a love and appreciation for music.
    From what I've read, amusia doesn't allow people to hear pitch and tone in everything...not just music. So they don't hear music the way others do and most don't like listening to it. And congenital amusia can be inherited. So Jason's fear for his daughter I'm sure was terrifying having to wait to see the outcome.
    I'm so glad it all turned out positive and Jason and his child can bond over their love of music! That was one of my favorite ways to bond with mine as well. ❤️🎶🤘

    I've looked and looked, due to my profession - psychotherapy - and I cannot find any solid, peer reviewed study that proves that artistic or sporting proclivities reside in the genes. I've also been a musician for 66 years. I found that the more you do it, the more 'talented' you get.....

    Fantastic episode! On the subject of melodyne. As a hobbyist musician, with an innate desire to create, autotune is a god send. I can continue to learn to sing better, to play better and to mix better, but am also able to output some decent material and be satisfied enough to continue to improve and enjoy the process of learning and creating. I 100% agree that in a professional setting, it can cheapen the value of the struggle and effort of an artist, and understand that that must be frustrating, but it does have its place, or at least its uses, in certain situations.

    Thanks Justin, I appreciate you releasing this. I do hope folks listen carefully to what is said between both of you from 06:27 to the end - covers exactly what I posted about.
    While Antares Autotune is always mentioned, it's Celemony's Melodyne that's virtually always the #1 tool of all recording studios. It's incredibly powerful - not only in editing pitch, but allows you to edit that other crucial component...phrasing (timing), and so much more, and therein lies the problem. You dehumanise the performance. The only criteria is that the singer is not tone deaf (most folk aren't) and has a reasonable 'voice' - but that doesn't mean they can sing live. Any musician that is able to perform a concert live does so through a hell of an amount of practice...and guts. Today, unfortunately for the listener, you don't need to be able to sing live, instead you simply mime at concerts. The question is, why aren't you told before ticket purchase?
    As an audio engineer myself of many years, it's not the tools that's the issue, it's the abuse of those tools, and for the last 20 years, that abuse is to the level where today, you'd be hard pushed to listen to a genuine "human" performance. The 'Loudness War' stirred up a huge debate where the primary culprit, waves L1 Ultramaximizer, rendered way too many recordings devoid of any dynamics whatsoever. Today, we have way too many 'dehumanized, computer performances'.

      @@badgerello "changed your tune" I see what you did there ;)
      As for changing my tune from my posts in the previous video...
      As an audio engineer I have no problem with the tools available. What I do have a problem with is today's near 100% abuse(!!) of Melodyne, where every track of every song (vocal or live instrument) is so heavily pitch and phrase edited ('computer perfect' - dehumanised) that it bears no resemblance to the original 'human' recording.
      I also have a problem with the fact that the vast majority of today's 'pop' vocalists cannot sing live (Melodyne abuse again) - and the paying public are not informed beforehand.
      I also have a problem with those same 'artists' putting on a concert and not informing the buying public beforehand that they will be miming.
      And I have a problem with the youth in recent years being indoctrinated on a Melodyne-abused lie.
      And most damning, I have a problem with young, talented singers being put off the profession by that same dehumanised computer lie.
      Want more proof? search UA-cam for the Wings of Pegasus channel where Fil has an on-going lengthy series showing how widespread this problem is. All of Michael Buble's vocals are Melodyne-tuned and phrase-locked to the 'grid', and he is a fantastic singer. Why does he allow it? he says "because everyone is now doing it and he thinks the youth expect it".

    There's an old Frank Sinatra vocal for "On a Little Street in Singapore." He sounds like a very competent tenor, but he could have been anyone. He hadn't yet developed the signature Sinatra sound. I was fascinated, when I ran across it and realized who was singing.

    I absolutely cannot sing at all. I can play guitar just fine, and can tune by ear, but I still suck massively at singing. I mean, I can do punk rock, but that’s about it.

    @MaxFury_Official Рік тому

    Her thoughts about tuning are spot on! Melodyne can sound very robotronic. If you start messing around with anything but moving the note up and down settings. I'd rather re-record, but sometimes if you're extremely lazy and a multi-millionare rapper, and it doesn't matter how you sound on the record that millions are gonna be recommended to listen to on Spotify, you'd just do one take and autotune or melodyne it.

      Can you learn to hear it though? If you can, then you can work on it, surely? Might just take more effort for a longer time for some people. It might never get “fixed” but it might be improved… 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰

    When someone is totally tone def, you definitely be aware of it when he is speaking and that fact even gets more obvious when the person learns to speak a different language because there will be an even weirder intonation (speech melodie), because every language has its own melody and sound. On the other hand someone who is naturally very gifted often is not only able to speak new learned languages very well and without the typical dialect some people often got because of their native language, they often also can easily speak in different dialects of that new language because they easily adapt it by just hearing other people talking in a different dialect.
    But this gift is not only a blessing. Yeah, it may be funny and may seem impressive for some to master several dialects of a foreign language, but if you can't even control it and after a few minutes completely unconsciously adopt a dialect that you are currently hearing but which previously sounded completely different (yet worse if the dialects of your own mother tongue can't be more numerous and different) then that's rather embarrassing and I always hope that I don't get a kick in my teeth because my counterpart thinks that I'm trying to impersonate how he speaks and insulting him and his dialect 🙏😬

    I had a music teacher who told me once that I seemed to have some trouble staying on pitch with my regular singing voice, but for some reason I had much less trouble when I sang in falsetto, and I have no idea why that is. I think I could definitely improve though if I wanted to.

    It's so interesting that you're talking about this. I CANNOT SING! However, I can hear fine; my tone and pitch, however, is terrible! I don't know if this is affected by my cerebral palsy but I suspect it is. It's frustrating for someone who "cannot live" without music. I want to be able to sing and play an instrument, it just doesn't seem to be my thing.
