GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Vocals Needed!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 8 2015, 03:32 PM
Hey guys!
I'm working on the mix for my latest http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=54873 and I had the idea to add some lyrics and vocals to give it a more "song style".
Here I have a draft: 
GMC_is_your_place.mp3 ( 2.05MB )
: 160
and these are the lyrics:
GMC is your place.
Do you want play guitar?
Do you want to be a guitar hero?
Stop seaching for solution
GMC is your place.
Run for your life
everybody has a mission
follow your heart
and reach to the sky
at GMC
I wonder if any of you can add some growling/screaming to support my singing and to make the track cooler. Good clean vocals are also welcome here.
Please let me know your thoughts about this, and also feel free to suggest lyrics improvements.

Good idea Gab,
How about:
Do you wanna play guitar?
And be a guitar hero?
Do you wanna go far away
From being level zero
Stop searching for solutions
GMC is your place.
The best institution
To make your playing ace.

Interesting ideas Phil! Thank you! 
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 8 2015, 09:13 PM
Awesome new direction of this track! 
So have we got some screamers here?
Posted by: fzalfa Oct 8 2015, 11:27 PM
Bruce, please !! Come on !!

Hey guys! If you remember any GMCer who can scream just say his nick name!
Laurent: Who is Bruce?

How about Mr Dahl for vocal screaming?
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 11 2015, 12:06 AM
Good idea!! Here is a quick try over the existing vocal track. Might be a bit over the top

Very cool Todd, to me it sounds like using this will improve the mix. It could also be used to emphasise certain parts of Gab's vocals. let's see what he says!
hehe thanks for thinking of me. Since I am all over these collabs anyway - I though it would be cool to see some other people contribute. I have heard some very cool screamers post their stuff here.
Anyone else want to give it a go? I think there are room for several vocalists here.

I might be try something out tomorrow when I'm back home. No promises made though.

That would be awesome!

This sounds very good Todd! I think that it gives more power and clarity to my vocals there. Let's use it!
As Kris said, there is room for many vocalists here so let's see if any other screamer comes here!
Cool! Looking forward your vocals!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 12 2015, 01:39 AM
Happy to help I'd also be happy to supply the stems for each vocal track (there are currently three tracks stacked, one center, two panned). is there a final word on the LYRICS?
Let me know what the FINAL LYRICS are and I"ll be happy to make a recording and give you the files to do with as you see fit

Damn, I've woken up with a terrible cough and sore throat today, but I'll see what I can do after some tea.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Oct 12 2015, 11:49 AM
Oh god, turns out I'm horrible at this! Haven't done any vocals for 10 years, and the little I did 10 years ago was hardly worth a mention. Anyway, feel free to laugh:

I really like this Cael!! It makes the song much darker! Please share with me the final version of your vocals only!
I think that we have a new GMC hit!!
PS: I'll also need a video of each singer interpreting the part for the final video.

Damn, I didn't shoot a video or did a full track. Now all my neighboors are home and I'm too shy to sing/scream/growl more
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 12 2015, 07:17 PM
You can do a playback.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Oct 12 2015, 07:19 PM
I can do that, but I don't have a full track for you though 
Only the first verse.

Nothing compared to what you're capable of, but thanks!

Are these the Final Lyrics? Is it CAEL and myself doing the throaty bits

Hey Todd, I've send a message asking about this. As your main language is English please let me know if those lyrics are right or if there is anything that makes no sense there.
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 14 2015, 11:46 PM
Ok then Here is a preview of the song with the DEMON vocals on top and a track with just the vocals.

The high quality vocal track is too big to upload so I'll link it with google drive

Awesome guys!! Thanks for your takes! I'll add this to the mix and share new pre-mix.

You need the vocals only track? I'd guess so, coming up in a minute.

Hey guys! Let me know what you think of this new mix?
I combined your vocals (both) with mine:

Sounds cool
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 15 2015, 10:33 PM
NICE!!!!!! I think it turned out great! I never thought about vocals on a guitar collab but it works very well! Are you going to do a video?

Thanks Todd! Yours was very nice as well! I could have tried your Smaug voice preset if it could have been used on PC, this was just done with my natural voice.
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 16 2015, 05:32 AM
I'm doing a low growl on one of my tracks but the octaver and harmonizer are doing most of the work as I'm crap on singing. How would you feel about singing on a track for me sometime just straigh up Ben?
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 16 2015, 02:05 PM
Your voice is killer Ben! I've tried a different version letting Ben's voice leading the verse (with Todd's as background and without me), and then added my vocals in the chorus. I think that the track becomes even more interesting. Please compare both and let me know which one you like more.
PS: Yes! I'll do a video of this one.

Awesome mix, Gabriel! I love it!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 16 2015, 02:52 PM
You PM asking me or an special version for you make me discover how good it would sound if I let your voice leading the verse.
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Oct 16 2015, 03:53 PM
I'm super happy about this! I never knew I could vocals like this!
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 16 2015, 06:13 PM
Awesome!!!! Sounds really cool and creative - well done guys!
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Oct 16 2015, 06:37 PM
Awesome!!!! Sounds really cool and creative - well done guys!I hope me and Todd's vocals didn't make it too dark and sinister
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 16 2015, 09:40 PM
Just enough darkness I'd say!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 17 2015, 05:40 AM
Just enough evil Though I did use some plugins for my "Devil Tone" and Mr. Viking was Au Natural!!!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 17 2015, 04:01 PM
I feel that we could get the perfect mix! I cannot stop listening to this tune!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 19 2015, 09:29 PM
Are you going to put the final mix on the video? Or release it before?
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 19 2015, 09:33 PM
I have been working on the video, we'll have news soon!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 19 2015, 11:59 PM
Awesome!!! Did I miss the "Final" Mix or is it still cooking?"
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 20 2015, 02:22 PM
The final mix was just a polished version of this one: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=55039&view=findpost&p=720166.
Have you seen the final video??? Link http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=54873&view=findpost&p=720367.
Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 21 2015, 11:33 PM
WOW!! Honestly one of the best I've ever seen and or been part of, ever. Gabe you really knocked it out of the park on this one. GREAT work by all involved and BENs vocals were killer!!!! Gabe put it together really well as a bonus. It works as a "track" which is awesome

Hi Todd! Thanks for your amazing words and work. This song wouldn't have been possible without the amazing and positive attitude by you and everybody involved. I'm so happy of what we could build together.
We need more of this here! Let's keep making music!
