Oddly enough I watched a Queen "Story of Bohemian Rhapsody" on YouTube a few days ago. It's worth checking out and it's split up into different parts. The English guy saying the lyrics in a serious tone is quite funny too. Here's the link to the first part...

So you're saying that the sound of all those voices on a song like, "Don't Bring me Down" were just regularly recorded and had nothing added to them? If so, that is pretty wicked. But I'm no slouch regarding harmony arrangement, and when you hear their stuff it's almost as if Jeff Lynne had a...

Well, you're in for a treat then ... here's a site that had the album info for "Out of the Blue" in the 70's. Scroll below and notice "Eventide Harmonizer" and other effects used. No doubt they double-tracked each voice, but I've done it and come nowhere near that sound of the backing vocals.

I don't think a sixteen part harmony is something that can be pulled off. There would be doubled notes and stuff octaves apart, so it's almost counter-intuitive. I have fooled around with pitch shifting though, and it gets a pretty close result. I think it's because the pitch correction...

Oh yeah, here's some samples if anyone hasn't heard of E.L.O. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZB-DUCrhVQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRnDW97nEXc It's all the background bits (harmonies/effects on them) I'm interested in.

I wouldn't doubt it for a second :) It almost seems as though the harmonies are artificial in a way ... they have such a strange vibe to them. I read somewhere that on one of their albums they used an Eventide Harmonizer, whatever that does I'm not sure. I know someone will say, "it...

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been on here. I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how Jeff Lynne achieved the harmony sound during his ELO era? I'm not sure if it's more in the arrangement area, or is it just a harmonizer from back in the day? I can't find anything on the net...

I agree that it's good to at least have a background of music theory before you dive into keys and all that. Play around with some Beach Boys songs like "Surfer Girl" or "In My Room" and analyze them. You'll notice there are interesting shifts and different keys in alot of their music, stuff...

For the most part, everything is practically doubled. I'm no pro by any means, but I notice this is done often. It may be tedious recording the same vocal line a couple of times as well as guitar, but the overall sound will be "pushed up" more sonically speaking. A chorus is a fairly short...

Well, it can be done, but it sounds like poop most of the time. You'll definately notice an overall quality decline whenever you do this little trick, it's almost better to just try and record the song yourself ... just learn all the little bits that you need to and record them. It may not...

Cool Stuff I liked it! How did you get everything to sit so well in the mix? Nice job.

My Songs Usually the come from playing around on the guitar until I get something I like, or a new approach I've been doing is to carry my Mp3 player (it has a mic thingy that lets you record notes or whatever but I use it for song ideas) and while I'm taking a walk something might just kinda...

Well ... Nickelback has found their formula. Same thing with Coldplay and other bands ... there are so many that do this. They found something that worked, and I'm sure there's pressure from the label to put similar stuff out so they get the same results. I just recently watched a new...

Also not mentioned ... clever lyrics. There's a nice marriage of lyrics and music here, well thought out. Eric

Hehe you guessed it. I went a little crazy with the reverb on this one, only 'cause I read they wash everything in that on their recordings. The guitar is real, just did a little EQ on it to give it a different sound. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definately lose all that crazy verb on my...

Hey thanks for fixing that ... I've been trying to figure out how to get a proper link.

I was wondering what you guys would think of this ... it's VERY rough, but I could always use advice. Here's the link: Time

yeah i know exactly what you mean .... all of this stuff is laid out when you log in, but perhaps there's a "hidden" option to put music on? :P maybe i gotta go to my library in this city, go into the corner of it and turn the fuckin' little statue head and it'll open up something ... then...

my songs on soundlick? where do i "click?"

? Any thoughts?
