Hi there Smoke on the water singers !
Kris Muris Luciana Maria David Jerry We have 6 original signups plus Nemanja - 6 would have worked great, 7 is a little more awkward So this is how I would like to do it - I want to split each verse between 2 people. The first person sings the first 4 lines, the second person sings the last 4 lines. Then, they harmonize for the chorus. I'll pick the pairs, but let you decide in this thread who goes first, and who sings the harmony in the chorus and who sings the tune. For the harmonized chorus, whoever sings the lead can send me that part along with the verse part they are doind. The person doing the harmony in the chorus will need to wait until that is done to sing the harmony on top - I'll collect the first recordings and make new backings with the main vocal in for the harmony singers if that will help, or if you like you can work it out between you - let me know what you prefer! I am using this link for lyrics: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/deep+purple/s...r_20038742.html So, my picks are: Verse 1 : Kris/Muris Verse 2 : Luciana/Maria (I think it will sound amazing to have the ladies singing together!) Verse 3 : David/Jerry Nemanja - can you perhaps think of something to do towards the end of the song? Maybe a really crazy version of the 1st verse that we can slip in in parts around the guitar solos perhaps? I'm thinking this will be more like a vocal solo than singing of the song - or let me know if you have a better idea So, figure out between yourselves the ordering within the verses and let me have your clips - I prefer wav files and I now have an FTP site setup, PM me for details when you have something ready. Also, no effects on the vocal please, not even compression if at all possible! The backing track I put in the original thread will work fine for the vocals - no need to record them in the correct place, just all record over the first verse. In addition, I am looking for any additional vocal ideas we can get in here like other harmonies, backing vocal ideas, screams (not growls!) and anything else that you think will contribute Luciana, maybe you could improvise something as a backing to one of the solos like you do in some of your lessons? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Awesome Andrew, it's laid out very clear! Muris - do you have any preferences for which part of verse and chorus 1 you want to sing? (by the way - trading vocal lines with you is going to be waay beyond cool!! ) Here's the idea! We all came out to Montreux ---------------- you or me On the Lake Geneva shoreline ---------------- next one To make records with a mobile ----------------- etc We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, --------------- you or me a fire in the sky, ------------- together smoke on the water -------------- you or me So it's like sharing lines in between, all you(or Andrew) have/has to do is to pick who's gonna start verse and chorus, then it's just pure exchange.

One thing - should we make sure both of us get one "Smooooke on the water" - or should the same person do both? (Singing together on "a fire in the sky" is a cool idea by the way!) The plan is to harmonise that part, but yes it would be cool to swap the lead around on that and have you both sing "a fire in the sky" -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Very clever Muris - this is going to be really cool! I'd be happy to start the singing - but if you feel strongly for doing it, that's fine with me as well! One thing - should we make sure both of us get one "Smooooke on the water" - or should the same person do both? (Singing together on "a fire in the sky" is a cool idea by the way!) Who ever starts he's gonna do all high parts in verse, yeah, perhaps we could double length? We all came out to Montreux ---------------- You On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile ----------------- Me We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers---------------You Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun-------------Me Burned the place to the ground And for chorus,both of us should have one "Smooooke on the water" but we could also record some harmonizing vocals as Andrew said, per example if you do first "smoke on the water" I could sing upper 3rd and you could do the same for me in second part. A Fire In The Sky would sound nice as doubled. Smoke on the water, --------------- You (I do upper third or whatever) a fire in the sky, ------------- together smoke on the water -------------- Me (You do harmonizing) Sounds ok? -------------------- Youtube

Awesome,gonna be fun!! Andrew,would you like dry takes or fully processed like compression,reverb etc? -------------------- Youtube

Dry please! (Better for mixing) You've got it! Maybe just tiny amount of compression during recording, to avoid peaks etc? -------------------- Youtube

You've got it! Maybe just tiny amount of compression during recording, to avoid peaks etc? Sure if you need to Just keep the ratio as low as possible and that should be fine! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE We all came out to Montreux ---------------- Kris On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile ----------------- Muris We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers---------------Kris Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun-------------Muris Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, --------------- Kris a fire in the sky, ------------- together smoke on the water -------------- Should be Muris, I filled this spot for the purpose of this mix only. A fire at GMC ------------------together? Here we go! kris_smoke_vocals.mp3 ( 2.98MB ) Number of downloads: 316 I added some extra things - feel free to use what you wish Andrew! The "A fire at GMC" line would be kind of cool to keep somewhere in the song though..! But I will let someone else have the final word. Oh and harmonizing didn't go very well as expected...so I just added octaves let me know if you think that works... edit - Maria just informed that I was in fact singing a harmony of the chours!! I will record a take of the actual lead of the chorus this week. |
