Man, I've been swamped this week and ill and ugh. fucking life.

Is anything else going on in this thread? Or is Kiss Me Baby the current deal?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Kiss Me Baby and Stevie

About Stevie:

I'm sorry I haven't been able to record vocals for this yet! Could someone opt in my place for this one?? I hate to do that - but I've just been too busy lately; I've barely had time to work on my own music.

If no one can fill in for me, I'll try to get the vocal done in the next two weeks. Sorry again!

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I would trade KMB for it... maybe I can record a test take for stevie?

I can do it! I'll redo my vocal from the other day.

[EgoHanger1966]

I have "free time" - so if any of our producers need a scratch or extra vocal, I'm up for sumpin'.

My new vocal lead. This is the 'dry' vocal; no autotune, no reverb, no noise reduction.

This is what it sounds like with the backup parts.

Who exactly are you waiting on to record the backing vox for Little Bird?  I thought that was going pretty well 

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Ego was going to write them out for me, I could do them, but it's a weird part

I'll try once sandy leaves haha

[EgoHanger1966]

You mean Egon, right?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Anyone down to work up the vocal arrangement?

I fell off the face of the earth for a while, but I'm finally getting some free time back and am psyched to work on this one.  This track and the vocals sound incredible! hypehat, did you use a click track for this? if so, how many bpms?

[egon spengler]

Okay, I just did a rough sketch of the Soulful Old Man Sunshine scat vocals, and there are at least 8 different parts going in this tune (possibly more in the "SOMS" break). So far we've got me, EgoHanger, and seltaeb. Who else is in?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

The harmonies for Little Bird are done!! Sending out parts tomorrow!

Much appreciated! Good to see you're back in the loop. Can't wait to hear the arrangement, I know it's gonna be awesome!

I'm down to help in any way I can.

[hypehat]

I didn't use a click, I'm afraid - can u manage?
Also Seltaeb can you drop us the isolated vox for SOMS?

Yeah, that's no problem--it'll be a little more work for the singers (no copying and pasting the repeated parts), but there honestly aren't many repeated lines in that tune.

[hypehat]

Great, thanks so much for doing it! Don't sweat about the wait, I am awful at this whole life/music divide as Seltaeb and Fotm well know

Happy to help out! I've been itching to work on SOMS for years. I've written out the parts for the intro/break and the scatting vocals already, and just need to do the background vox for the bridge.  It's nuts, the song consistently has 6 to 8 voices (triple tracked at some points) at any given time.

Come to think of it, it may take me a little while to get the guide vocals distributed out to everyone. In the past I've used a midi vocal line laid on top of the real track as the guide, but that'll be tough without the steady bpm to work with. No big deal--I'll figure something out.
