FROM THE UPCOMING ALBUM -FOUR YEARS ON.....
ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT Audi & Oliver, with added mastering and bass....ENJOY! LISTEN http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/song_2836110 DOWNLOAD http://rapidshare.com/files/308890424/20_Are_You_Lonesome_Tonight.mp3.html MD5: 6C8DE6904D7AC0DA241BF5C0341C01C9
HEY AUDI AND OLIVER!! This is GREAT!!
Ok...Oliver is singing yes? and Audi you did the speech? I don't want to assume anything!!
But I'm guessing Oliver has a Spanish accent and the Elvis talk sounded VERY American....
HEY...nice bass too...
HAPPY GW DAY!!!
The speech is Audi, I could never do the speech that way, I sing the vocals and audi does all the rest
Don't forget that Gar played bass -- and remastered the recording to sound mind-blowingly pro!
but how can he remaster if he doesn't have the masters?... I've got the masters, your track and mine... I could sent Gary the 2 files and let him master that.
I remastered from the copy. Remixing is what I think you're talking about. I think the track is very good as it is, and of course, is track 20 on the latest GW album...
For the record, I imported the track into Nuendo, noise reduced it, heavily compressed it using Waves L2 limiter, to bring up the levels, added bass and EQ'd the whole mix. I also added a slight bit of ROOM reverb using perfect space.

21st Century Paul:
well, here it is another original song of mine I've recorded... I don't think I have to explain much about the song... Make a Better World - original song
I've changed the mix, added more reverb to the vocals but lowing them down in loudness. For me this is the final mix. Who wrote these vocals??? crazy guy, this is like a mix of Twist and Shout and Queen's Gimme The Prize... Gimme The Prize
Make a Better World - original songIt's pretty original, and well done. The vocals don't have to be too prominent. Good stuff.
It's a "All you need is love"' son, Paul would say. It's the same chords progression or so, only with only different melody and rhythm... you can sing along All you need is love over it... Maybe the vocals are still too prominent, I don't know, If I low them down there are parts where they couldn't be heard. I'm starting to show my really weird stuff. Not the normal things...

Bjorn Karlsson:
Happy Birthday to us!!
So, here we are after 4 years...quite a journey, and as I said a few days ago---it's been a great trip from the start...and most of all been great to get to know the bunch of people that has gone trough this journey together! You're very special to me all of you!
I thought I'd make a contribution today with a song I recorded really early in GW history, in a version with piano and vocals only... THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD (NAKED) http://rapidshare.com/files/308955001/The_Long___Winding_Road__NAKED__-_Bjorn_-_Global_Wings.mp3
Okey, Bjorn, I like everything on your track, piano, vocals, but one thing... The auto-tuning thing... I would prefer your voice to go out of tune or whatever than listening to that, really. I like your videos when you sing live, so I'll guess I would like anyway these without that effect. Actually I only don't like it when I notice that thing... the rest is fantastic.

The Only Living Boy in NY is one of my fav Simon and G songs ever, never in the greatest hits albums but one of the top ones for me. I like to sing it, especially the part of "I've got nothing to do today but smile"... Gary, I don't know how you can do things like In My Place in 50 minutes!
I can record very fast but I spent 50 minutes in just deciding the reverb for the vocals...
Hee hee - to be fair, it took me 50 minutes to do the backing. It took me considerably longer to do the vocals and bass.
MMM I"m more inclined to believe the latter regarding how long it takes you to do songs....I see you pumping those puppies out!!
It takes me longer to get dressed in the morning!!

I thank you for liking my singing
, I like to set the standard very high when recording my vocals, and want to make a recording pitch-fix free, BTW Autotune is the worst pitch fix program, never use it, there are other's that are better!! Like every studio recording, I can re-record parts to improve if I am unsatisfied with some parts, that means a studio recording is rarely a complete "live" take. It is parts of different recordings. Recording like that is a good way to make a "perfect" recording. Sometimes when I've recorded a vocal and wanted to keep a take with the right feel I've fixed a note that bothered me, instead of re-recording. This vocal, and what you heard is the Roomworks PREdator reverb effect which is a nice reverb with a slight delay effect, not a pitch fix... Here the song is TOTALLY CLEAN, NAKED, just my recorded track...to hear the difference!
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD(EVEN MORE NAKED) http://rapidshare.com/files/309322187/TLAWR_EVEN_MORE_NAKED_.mp3 Thanks for being a great detective, but sorry to disappoint you, you wanna hear bad Autotune, go get GENYC!
I can't quite understand your critics, the sound is "autotuned" and in a way that bothered you, more than any modern digital recording today? Please no accusations without facts!
I'm a bit of a perfectionist and very fussy when it comes to a singer's pitch, and would not release stuff if there were too many "sour" notes, as I hate listening to bad singers that sing out of tune all the time. And I guess that is the case with most of our listeners too!

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREED The Beatles did this in their day too - speeding up vocals, and "punching in" bad notes. There's no real excuse for bad pitching on recorded work, and never has been. I agree about Autotune - terrible programme, and yes, there are much better ones out there. I used too much of it in the early days of GW, but we all improve, and I think all our standards are reaching ever higher peaks. I also have to say, that, these days, pitch correction is a sound we've become "accustomed to", and the songs sound strange without it. Coldplay for example, whilst not being "Cher" type corrected, ARE indeed heavily corrected, as is Robbie Williams. The general style of recording vocals these days, is to HEAVILY compress, with no reverb and tight pitch correction. All naturality has gone out of recorded work these days.

Actually, I bought ten guitars to my school the other day, and also got a new tuner, it's one that tunes just by the vibrations of the guitar wood that comes from the stings vibrations, you just put it at the headstock of the guitar and play the string, very easy to use...amazing thing!!

Hey Bjorn - hope you're doing good! If there are any tracks of yours I missed during my sabbatical, PLEASE PM me them, and I'll archive them on the next CD. I think we need to archive this stuff for posterity, and storing them on a safe website is a good way of preserving, what has become a bit of a legacy. I know you are as proud as I am of what we have achieved on here.

Hey Gary!
Oh yeah, it's very fine, lots of work right now for me, and my body doesn't demand much work at all actually!
No, it's fun!! Hope life is treating you good too! I am sure the songs we've done will live on, I/we have a fan base here in Sweden too actually, my students and their families!
:
They listen to songs on my reverbnation site all the time, glad to get them into good music of course, but try to keep a low profile at work, it is not about me there I think
, but it's fun. They know all about Global Wings, and has asked me many times over and over about the group and think its cool that I've done the stuff with this "web-band"!
That is what happens if you are NOT anonymous on the web, keeping your head in the picture!

Really???? I guess I don't know auto-tune when I hear it. One thing I pride myself on is ''nailing'' a good vocal. Sure, flat notes occur here n' there, but I'd rather avoid it. As for Paul, it's OK -- as long as they don't make his voice do things he's otherwise would never be able to do. I love the new DVD/CD.

Hey, love the stuff too, but the treatment on his vocals is a tiny bit distracting on some songs, should be unnoticeable, that good stuff you can use today...BUT I agree, he can sing it all, nothing is fake only that we are spared to hear some flat notes...I have made a comparison of his Sing The Changes and the one on Youtube, much is the same, just a few flat notes fixed and a messed up lyric line, that he must have pasted from one of the other two days at Cityfield..

I was KIDDING!
(in the very beginning I used to tune my strings with a little flute thingy, and I've also used internet tuners, but that's so much hassle
Remember I was practically a guitar NEWBIE before this thing. Not that I'm a pro now....
I do have such a tuner like you mentioned....great little thing, it's so EASY indeed...let me go check what brand it is... It's this little guy... http://www.lnrmusic.com/images/IMT500.jpg No idea if it's a good one, but hey, it does the trick for me!
