thanks, tashmoo. I kind of hijacked the thread, since the op never again manifested himself, but it's been enlightening for me as well, I actually have been reading a lot to discuss it here with you guys. and, well, I get to read so much good stuff on the other forums on things I know nothing...

yeah, the wikipedia article on countertenors is but a pile of garbage ¬¬. Philip Bailey is a falsettist - I'm not sure he scores for the countertenor label (he's a baritone, I guess). in the recording I heard he doesn't go above a g5, and that's a note tenors have rather naturally... as...

start questioning your knowledge altogether. FALSEtto IS an artificial timbre: Falsetto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and about the hormonal imbalance controversy - the main problem is that the terms countertenor and falsettist are pretty much unclear everywhere. Perhaps this can make it...

are you guys crazy? he doesn't sound like a countertenor AT ALL, not even his falsettos o.O a potential falsettist, yes, and exactly because he is not a tenor. on countertenors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrab716ytxM a bit more info on the difference of falsetto/falsettists and...

besides myself? mariah carey. damn, do I envy her whistles...

well, he's the one who said he can't reach "that high", so I assume he used the falsetto where he felt uncomfortable. and I'd actually guess a baritone for the overtones he gets when he sings the first "hand", but classification depends on his age. I'd never engrave anything in stone before 25...

you can't "unbe" what you are. if you are a bass, as much as you work on your high notes, there's a healthy limit you can reach before you start damaging your instrument (vocal chords and all muscles involved in the phonatory actions). you have a great tone, overall - but if you were a tenor...

of course he does it faster and intercalates it with clean speach-level rapping, but essentially he does what christina aguillera does here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HKwBoeOMjg that drive sound, you know. if your voice's timbre is too different from the guy you're using as a model...

what's your band's style? it could be puberty, and a load of other things. you say you have no nodules, but what about paresis? did your doctor say anything about it?

ended up solving everything with the old select and drag down to a new track, then to the right, then back to the old track - thanks god sonar allows for multiple selections, so nothing got pasted out of synch. but I was really thinkin in the lines of word-processors, where I can just insert a...

thanks for all the replies, got a new question (I'm using sonar x1): considering I have already recorded the audio, how do I insert 16 bars of silence before it? is there any way I can do it, or I really have to select and drag everything?

so, heres's the thing: I was doing a live performance recording, and since I was the one singing, I asked a friend to hit the record button on my daw, and hit stop once I stopped singing - it was a full 1 1/2 hour concert, and I asked him to stop it once in a while and hit save, then record...

only the third and fourth links are active... I like your voice, but there's something not quite precise in your pitch when you go for the high "sta-a-ars" that bugged me throughout the whole recording... for the fourth, you need to articulate better the words. I could barely understand the...

So, I did this live recording of a concert this weekend. Arrived early, set the equipment, tested input levels, everything was working great, all that was needed was to push the record button and play. BUT as the adorably noob recorder I am, I forgot that later on came a bunch of other folks...

if his technique is really proper, he should know how soft or how loud he can sing, how the mic should be reacting to his voice and that if he can't hear himself, he'd better sit down with the sound engineer, a couple of beers and sort out their problems.
