    Been doing the drag it up, and sing that - method for 6 years. And then one day.. my mind made harmonies by hearing the lead... It's all about time and repetition! 😁🔥

    This is what I use for my harmonies and it works really well.
    I use Izotope Vocal Synth 2. I record the lead vocal track, then I play the chord progression of the song on piano.
    Vocal Synth 2 has a MIDI mode. Split your chord progression into each track having 1 note of each chord (so usually 3 tracks, 1st, 3rd, 5th)
    Send the midi into vocal synth 2.
    It will generate harmonies that always sound great.
    I then solo only 1 midi track (say the 1st of each chord), and I learn what vocal synth is suggesting and record it.
    Repeat for each note.
    At the end when you play all the tracks back you have a nice modern 2-4 part harmony that sounds organic!

      I always like to just do this as a guide for artists who can’t find or stay on the harmony. We always track the actual harmony once we find it. When I’m recording myself I tend to just go off the top of my head for harmonies 😁

    HEY Austin. Question: I've always rapped and I am now currently trying to write pop songs. My biggest challenge is probably the pronunciation of words and flow. Rapping is more like spoken word, but singing is a little more different. I guess my question is can you please make a vid on: why on your own songs you choose to pronounce certain word this way or maybe slightly go higher or lower pitch on certain words

    1. I love the outro song. Your vocals and the mix sounds amazing - is it available on Spotify?
    2. Confused about the function "Convert to Real Copy" - I didnt know this existed and I don't understand why this step is necessary?
    3. When you were in VariAudio, all your notes appeared in red at ALL time. For some reason, I thought VariAudio showed notes in red only when "out of key". Am I wrong on this, or is it a feature that you turned off??

    • @MakePopMusic
      @MakePopMusic  4 года назад

      1: Thank you so much! The song is out. It's called Even Though It Kills Me :D
      2: Convert to Real Copy makes it so that you can copy an instance of something, and then process that alone. For instance, if I copy a snare and reverse it, it will reverse every instance of that sample unless I convert to real copy.
      3: I didn't have a key set in Vari Audio. I hardly use the key function but you definitely can!
