Hey mate, I'm here! Thanks for recommending videosift - looks like a good place to hang out for a while. Oh, and thanks for submitting my song too.

- Steve

I just kind of play guitar and sing, got a band together this year. No videos since I don't have a camera, and the only recording equipment I have is a pirated copy of audition and a cheap 15 buck microphone, so I don't really have any recordings worth mentioning, lol. I just enjoy playing and writing music, mainly. I could send you a song or two if you want, I guess.

Thanks man. You mentioned that you're an amateur musician yourself - what sort of stuff do you do? Do you have any recordings or videos?

In reply to this comment by JAPR:
Haha, awesome, thanks. I figured it might be a little bit of reverb (just a touch of that can make a huge difference in vocal sound ) and overdubbing. Nice harmonies in there by the way, I enjoyed that video.

Hey JAPR,

Thanks for the comment! My recording/videoing method is usually along these lines:

1) Record a live take with guitar and lead vocals. In this video, all the verses and the first chorus are just that.
2) Overdub vocal harmonies for certain parts. Occasionally, also double some vocals if I want to beef it up a bit.

In this one, for the last two choruses, I doubled the lead vocal, and added two vocal harmony parts (both doubled also). No vocal processing is used, except for a touch of reverb.

Hope that answers your question!

Oh, awesome. I'm a bit of an amateur musician myself, so it'd be interesting to hear what program he uses and how he utilizes it.

you'll get to ask him, yourself, when he gets here. he's one of the people i recently endorsed the sift to.

presumably, he'll have the same login here, as at youtube.

wow, great voice. i wonder how much he played with that on his music editing program and how much of it is just his voice.
