silver springs, carrie style

carrie721 · #1 08-12-2006, 05:35 PM

starshine over at seven wonders posted the instrumentals to the rumours tracks, and i really can't resist something like that ... so i recorded some vocals over the instrumentals for "silver springs." don't judge it on artistic merit, since i stayed v. close to the original. let me know what you think, but remember that i'm just playin' around here ...

Carrie, I am listening to this now & really enjoying this. You have excellent tonality, so much so, in fact, that you should experiment with multitracking your vocals using some Fleetwood Mac harmonies.

Nice job, Carrie! Do some more!

Ugh, what is this tripe? I kid.

We must duet, girl. Hey, remember we were going to do TAT? If I can get some Cyndi instrumentals, or remove the vocals with new editing software that doesn't suck, we should get together on some Cyn songs.

How fun! It sounds really good Carrie!
What did program did you use to record? I can't wait to hear more.

I was so excited to go get the instrumentals, but YouSendIt reached its limit, so I hope they get reposted.

Thanks, guys! I'm always a little leary to put myself out there, so I'm very pleased to get such a positive response.

David - I actually already have, quite a while back, with the harmonies from the chorus of Silver Springs. I was doing it a capella, so by the end, I was in B major instead of C. I'm definitely going to do more now that I have these instrumentals.

GDSB: uh, yes. We should totally do TAT.

Eliza: I use a mac program called GarageBand. It's a great app, esp. considering it came free with my computer. Very user-friendly and has some nice features.

Jazzy: biyotch. Thanks.

Thanks again, everyone.

Fire at will, soldier. I'm no expert, but I know my way around.

For anyone interested, I uploaded the instrumental tracks and posted them here.

Awesome—thanks! I am going to have fun with those!
I use Garage Band too, and it is really good for just adding a vocal track. I use it sometimes to try out harmonies for new songs. it would be easy to send a song around to singers on the ledge, and have each add a part. Fun!
