RE: THE GLOBAL WINGS THREAD
HERE is an experiment!! When Bjorn posted his wonderful "OVER THE RAINBOW" song, complete with UKE, I was taken aback because I had done the very same song a different way 6 months ago. I never posted it though - it was just for fun. BUT, then I got thinking - would Bjorn's version fit together with my version (originally a UK number 1 for Cliff Richard). I laid out the tracks, and it was almost like the Strawberry Fields recording. My version ran at 87 bpm, and Bjorns ran at 85bpm...BUT...they were in the same key, and identical in nearly every other way. Thus, through time stretching, cutting up vocals, quantising the ukele, and using virtually every techno tool out there, I managed to fit it all together. Here it is - a very modern recording, and a polar opposite of Bjorns sweet, simple original.

OK, here is a couple of "new" tracks, first is a weird arrangement, it is a cover of two songs, with me playing Ukulele and singing. The original is from Hawaiian guy called Israel Kamakawiwo'ole that died in 1997, and his original is fantastic. When I heard the song I just wanted to grab my Uke and give it a try, did the recording very quick! Here ya go!

I already did a remix of this song a long way back, and now I played with some software synths to try to do a new one. The basic track is my piano that I used a synth to change the sound completely, then there is a bass and drums, and some VERY altered vocals, it is not for the auto-tune-haters , I tried to do it very modern, almost Cher-ish, just for the fun of it, hope you'll cherish the recording!

Over the Rainbow is great, and astonishing as you know!! I like the experimental mixes you come up with. Nothing wrong with messing, and you did a great job on C'Mon People. I often laugh at people who say "John would turn in his grave" with the use of technology these days. I disagree totally, John would LOVE this type of stuff. He and Paul have always been "cutting edge".
knowing John he would use the weirdest possible things see Tomorrow Never Knows... About vocals, he never ever liked his voice as it was and always asked to George Martin to add anything, "ketchup, whatever" Paul and John tried then things that what no-one used... but also didn't use things that everyone used... they simply were different from anything, today they would be different from anything there is today too...
John also invented and christened the "flanging" effect. He found that if he had two tape decks playing exactly the same thing, he could get a weird phasing effect by pressing down on the "flange" of one of the tapes that were playing. Flange my vocal George!! From ever onwards, it is called "flanging".

and My LAST comment for the night. what's the big deal about autotune???? It makes my car run great!! g'night ya'll
my english is not good enough to get your joke auto-tune will go as it came... just like... electric drums... those ones on the 80s... I like that Jay-Z's 2009 single is called "D.O.A." Death of Auto-tune
I don't mind people doing auto-tune at all, it only bothers when some producer does it to some singer I like... cause it simply spoils the performance. We're getting to a point when lives performances seem better than studio ones. I don't know if Jay-Z is responsible but I'm glad they don't autotune BeyonceI don't think subtle pitch shifting will ever die. The "Cher" effect may well go, but pitch correction and shifting is here to stay - and why not - even the Beatles used pitch shifting. If, after 30 takes or so, they sang a not flat or sharp, that particular piece of tape was cut, speeded up or slowed down, and edited back in. The principle is the same. When I'm 64, and Here There and Everywhere were speeded up nearly a semitone to make Paul's voice sound more in tune and younger. Plus, the Beach Boys did it all the time.

And here you go....and yes, Gary, I listened to YOUR version as well. Here's "Paul's most neurotic song" according to Artie. [I Am A Rock[/size">](http://rapidshare.com/files/314946254/IAmARock.mp3]<span style=) (click to download) You'll see what I mean with having to sing in two octaves...the part of "gazing from my window..." should have been a lot lower but that seriously hurt my throat. And I capo'ed it on the 7th fret already.
Sterling effort, and remarkable how you intertwined the octaves here to get the song comfortable to sing. The song "rocks" ahem!! Nice sound also on the guitar, and very good playing there! Yet another Simon song for the next album. And yes, vicious, neurotic lyric if ever I heard one!

Now I'm working on one of my other favourite S&G songs but damn, what a horror it is...playing it on guitar is nothing, but I either have to capo it very high or tune down a lot, and I can't sing it properly without going back and forth between an octave higher and lower. : Sucks to be a girl right now, doesn't it?
This is turning out to be easier than I thought it would be, now that I've listened to all possible versions I could find (I went through all the S&G bootlegs) and figured out Art's harmony. This may just become one of my best. *cough*

RE: THE GLOBAL WINGS THREAD
Here is one of the saddest songs you'll ever hear. I love the message in this song, but decided to cover it because I wanted to lay out a full orchestra. The track composes piano, contrabass, cello, viola, violins, trumpets, horns a harp and timpani. I used the best quality samples, and attempted to get as authentic a feel as possible. The vocals are kept "sharp", to get CHRIS REA'S gravelly vocal sound, but I may cut the EQ on the final mix. Oliver - here, compression is kept to a minimum, and is given what is called "soft-knee" compression, to keep dynamic range. Here is..

[NESSUN DORMA[/color">](www.oliversanz.com/nessundorma.mp3]<span style=) If it doesn't belong here, I'll take it away...
I like to think we can post anything on this thread here...so I'll agree with Audi, don't take it away.
We have a wide selection of stuff here for sure!!
well, it's basically "Karaoke", but as is so peculiar I though I could post it I've tried to compressed but "it doesn't make sense", I mean don't like it. Like if singing arias with rock and roll feeling "made sense"... the thing I like most in classical music is the volume changes... with compression in rock and roll music hardly anyone "plays with that"... for instance the beginning of this one is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...
Ther is hardly any compression applied to classical pies, as it is the dynamic range that gives it it's beauty. Rock is a totally different animal, and it was the Beatles and George Martin that first gave us VERY heavy compression. It was in vogue to compress heavily until around 1968/69, then it became the vogue NOT to apply to much compression. We're back to square one now with the new digital (analog simulated) compression. Maybe that's why Beatle music sounds so up to date.

Different vocals (and guitar, too) than the mp3 I posted a while ago. I think I like this recording better than the last one, despite the many pops and noises in the record. I feel the vocals are better!Wow, beautiful!!
Stealing this post to say, it's great Eve. It seems you have quite a fan club on YOUTUBE!

HEY, here's a song I wrote in the late 80's. I re-recorded it with new technology. I think I may have posted this a long time ago (the old version anyway), but this is the new version anyway.

I like it . Gary you're a great songwriter. After listening to Gentle Love and this one I can say that for real. I think you're wrong , no Kissing A Fool, this reminds me of Brian Wilson's late work... even the vocals.
Once again, thanks Oliver. And I feel good you compared this to Brian WIlsons work, because, next to Paul, he's one of THE best. I personally didn't hear BW in this song, but now you mention it, I do. Thanks again for your comments.

audi:
I've returned to writing my own songs, friends. Here's a sneak-peek into a new one I'm writing with my songwriting buddy, Dan. I'm getting back to my rock side, also. This afternoon, I recorded a rhythm-guitar track, as well as a drum-track. TEARIN' IT DOWN: http://rapidshare.com/files/310428367/Audese___Dan-Tearin__It_Down__Tracks_1-2_Audese_s_acoustic_guitar-drum_program_11-21-2009_.mp3.html Vocals to come. I'm still deciding how ''gritty'' this song should or should not be. Right now, it's sounding kinda' John Mayer'ish -- but that's subject to change. : )
Sounds good. Keep at it, adn let us hear how it develops!

OK here's a song that Val & I love. It's a VAN MORRISON song, and he covered it with Tom Jones. This is how I recorded it - it took around 3 hours. First, I laid a drum track down using a midi keyboard and Groove Agent. Then I added a piano. On top of that, a hammond organ patch. Then I added some mute guitar stabs, also on keyboard. Then I recorded a live bass, I LOVE the bass line! Then I recorded a live electric guitar. On this, I added keyboard tenor, and baritone saxes. Finally I added my TOM JONES vocal on one side of the stereo, then my VAN MORRISON on the other side of the stereo. I added some gentle reverb, and fat compression to the vocals. I then compressed the mix with Waves L2 maximiser. NO PITCH CORRECTION whatsoever was used on this recording, as pitch correctors don't behave very well with these types of vocal.

you and Bjorn got me surprised how easy and how fast you do it. Have you ever considered becoming a producer for other people or so? Here there are people who puts adds in musical websites offering themselves as producers, charging some money for recording a song. Sometimes they're only "producers", sometimes they record instruments the artist can't record. I think you would be perfect for that. Anyway there are very few people that can do it all, it's not easy. I mean composing, arranging, playing, singing and producing.
Thanks Ollie. I have considered what you say, but I think there are many, many people who can do this. It WOULD be nice to get paid for using what skills I have though, and maybe I will try this at some point.
