Topic: Cover of a song made popular by Harry Nilsson "Without You"
Yes I know....I have no business even trying to sing this but what
the heck, I decided to give it a shot because I enjoy a challenge.
When I felt good enough to record it I flubbed the first take but
kept recording. Then I recorded a second take that at least got me
all the way through. I used that second take for the video.
Couple of notes about how I mixed the audio. I took the line at the
end of each verse from the first take and mixed it in to the second
take. This gives a voice doubling effect that is real. On the choruses
I recorded additional vocal with only the mic twice then adjusted
levels and mixed the additional two layers in. Some people ask me
what software I use for those vocal effects and I have to tell them
it's actually real singing, not a digital effect. All came together very
fast. I had to tune way way down to sing this.
