  • Well.... I guess I did okay but I wanted it to be better but I guess I didn't spend enough time listening and figuring out how to emulate Steve Perry better. Ah well. See below for my secret weapon: my friend, P.S. hehehhe
    FYI, I sang this 7 semitones LOWER than the tune then pitched me up 7 so that I could sing it in MY range. That process causes some audio degradation but I make up for it with some multiband eq and stuff.

    Geez, these views blew up suddenly and so I have so many comments, I can't reply to even 10% of them. So, a pinned THANK YOU to all my subs and viewers. Thanks for the nice comments and I hope to get to where I can make some more tunes. Just busy with some life things right now.

    I'm a family practice P.A., with a lot of patients in the 45-75 year old age bracket. In addition to all the usual medical crap we discuss (diabetes, blood pressure, colonoscopies, etc), I also routinely ask what they do as hobbies. Things like projects, or goals, or fun stuff they are working on. Because mental health is important too. It's sad really. I have soooooo many people that just sit in a chair and smoke and watch tv and do nothing with their lives. And they are so unhappy. I wish they (and even myself) could be more like this. Pursuing a passion with energy and creativity. Keep on singing, my friend. You are an inspiration for us all.

      Reaper for DAW then I use pitch shifter to pitch the song down into my range (usually -7 semitones for a Steve Perry tune) then I record after some 30 min of rehearse and then I pitch song back up and ME up by that same # of semitones. I add lots of effects to correct some issues with pitch shift degrading the sound. Too hard to type but I use eq, compression, multiband compression to isolate various frequency ranges and compress them to keep them in control and auto-tune to help with tiny pitch flaws and reverb etc. :)

      @@TruthSurge Wow that is amazing. I guess it might be easier for me to rent a studio with all that gadgetry for a few hours. I am taking a son by ELO, and have rewritten it. Now I want to sing it, and then release it as a song for my favorite college football team. I use to be able to sing almost anything. But I was singing one night, and it was as if I blew something in my falsetto range. Really weird. I can still hit pretty high notes, and deep bass. But there is a note somewhere in between all that, I have lost. Hence my need for what you use, to hit some of those Jeff Lynne notes from his earlier years. Thanks much.
