Journey Kareoke competition... for fun!!

[McNeil]

Finalflight has kindly uploaded a shit hot collection of Journey/Perry backing tracks... nice one!!

So howzabout those of us who can sing...or think they can sing, uploading our efforts to sing over a track or two...or even just a verse and chorus of yr fave track??

Easy to do if you have a copy of Cubase, or any similar audio sequencer, and a mic.

Be good to try them in the original keys... but its possible to lower the keys in Acid or Sound Forge or similar, whilst retaining the same tempo.

Its only for fun... you can even do a "comedy" version.... maybe unintentionally... haha

Ok I do a McCartney... but it aint gonna help much here and in these keys... I will try make the time to set up my gear today or tomorrow.... and upload onto Yousendit ... anyone feel free to start the ball rolling in the meantime....oh and of course...ladies..... you too!

ps.... and of course your not allowed to upload anything Jeremy !!!!!!

shit..that guy is good.... but I know where hes coming from... I can get into Perrys's range for a song or two..... but it always sounds pretty "thin" a la Hugo... and after that ...... I need a cuppa honey n lemon tea to revive my chords!!!

Imagine a 90 min show every day..... oh lordy lordy!!!

[finalfight]

I gotta say, I love the way Hugo sounds on his own material.

[Monker]

Yeah, I wanna hear Dean's recordings. The ones he supposedly made as a fantasy project before he died of cancer.

My previous partner died of cancer. I was given some Journey CDs by her cousin when she was in hospital and listening to them really helped me through what was absolutely the worst time of my life.

That's how I discovered Journey.

Good for you. Maybe Dean discovered Journey when his wife died. What difference does it make?

You want a Kareoke thread...then I want to hear Dean's recordings...unless, of course, he lied about those too, like so many other things.

[Lula]

Monker, no need to bring up/question Dean's personal experiences. Have a little respect.

Good for me? Not really. Monker, it really doesn't make any difference. Until of course it happens to you.

Lets keep this as a fun thread and not another Journey board hate-fest.

It's Karaoke time folks!

[Liquid_Drummer]

Ok then my second entry then.. Feeling that way. I spent more time on it, multitracked the Rollie/Perry vocals because there is a harmony in there I wanted to sing, and I may have the advantage of having good recording gear and a project recording studio so....

I would like to do You better wait however the low parts have some effect on them (in the neon lights, think about it section) and I have no clue what that is. Without that effect I think that part would sound ... Wimpy ? I may see if I can reproduce it somehow.

It's the "Chorus" effect, with gutsy "belting" vocals.

Classic "belting" Perry.......love that song!

[Liquid_Drummer]

A lot of people have put Perry down for the rasp that he has now. I like it a lot my self and you can hear it well in that part.. I dont think I can do that part justice but I may try. NOt sure which one I may try next. I may give my voice a break for a few days.

[yulog]

this sounds good i can tell your voice needs a rest but theres alot of different parts to do here i still like it overall

[Shadowsong]

Still lost here
Are you multitrackling and singing along to originals and taking out there voices in the end?

I played with those karaoke but it;s not recording right
then the Karafun had a bad error and froze
so I dlketed that program as it was hijacking all my icons and K'ing them and they wouldn;t open by themself
Anyway, don;t want to mess with a glitchy program right now

I have audiocity and it won;t open anything

I have Creative sudio from Audigy on my computer sound card
it has a mik but I have ponly used to to mik in on originals

Might try to play with that again....

Karafun was ok til it crashed...
might try to install it again
may have changed some things that confused it...

LOL

LD's stuff sounds really good

[Monker]

Monker, no need to bring up/question Dean's personal experiences. Have a little respect.

Why? Did he lie about going to a studio, or not?

If I want to bring it up, I can...nothing is stopping me.

[journeywoman]

I liked this one much better. I think you have great potential!

Yeah he did, not that it matters. You really come off as a bitter person.

[Jeremey fan forever]

I can sing Steve Perry better than any man alive.

Hey FF, thanks for posting those karaoke files! Also, liquiddrummer, awesome job, man!!

I'm not going to upload anything as part of a competition or anything, but there's a few tunes Frontiers would never tackle that I've always wanted to perform/record, so I'd love to upload a version of YBW or Missing You....Right now all the microphones I own are locked in a trailer 30 miles away, so I'll screw around with something when I get a chance. In the meantime, if anyone wants to hear "I Stand Alone" and has never heard it, here's a link here:

Jeremy That sounded incredible! Any chance of you doing that one on Oct. 6th? Even just a little bit?

[Rockindeano]

Folks, just stopping by.

I don't feel the need to even remotely respond to Monker anylonger. See, I know what is the truth. I have been proven right everytime, have nrver lied and he is just mad because he is on the backside of all coming news and information.

No, I am not king shit, but after this last weekend, I decided I am above even responding to a desperate person's plea for attention. I will however, totally go ballistic on him for certain peoples' amusement. and to keep in shape when a good ass kicking is in order.

Monker, you are free my boy. I have no time to swat flies.
