Rules for recording include: 1. Do not record on vocaroo. Record using Audacity (It's free) or your favorite program. 2. Make sure your mic volume is good. I don't want audio that clips every two seconds. I can turn it up in Audacity if you have to turn it down so it doesn't clip. 3. Start recording and then start singing to the song. This makes it 100 times easier. Rescue Girl took three days because so many people were off. I don't even know how you get off track when the song you're singing is right there on youtube. 4. Upload to picosong. It allows you to upload 320 kbps. (Please export to 320 kbps by the way)
If you don't know how to use Audacity and export to 320 kbps mp3, then just ask. I'd rather have 20 people ask me how than 20 people sounding like crap.
When singing the parts that overlap each other, pick a line, for example; "Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom" or "(Trouble keeps you running faster.)" If you know how to edit it so your own voice overlaps it, then go ahead. Don't do it if it comes out shitty though.
Please pin this thread Mark. And unpin the other one.
Do not post multiple links to your singing or ask if I put you in. I have no clue if I put you in or not, just post once, and don't worry, you'll get in.
Reminder to use picosong, not vocaroo.

Jordan Russell
yeah about that i have a 22khz mic built into a webcam that uses a beta version of the USB standard
Lincoln Cooper
Try it anyway. If it's terrible, oh well. I'll still include it, I'm just trying to prevent some mics sounding shitty.
Levi Powell
Do we just post them in the thread?
Aaron Martin
I would sing but my family is home. And I dont want them to hear me screeching sonic boom
Nathan Lopez
Post your uploads in the thread and I'll grab it.
Parker Cruz
What bitrate is requested?
Yes you do.
Carson Edwards
As high as you can. 320 kbps is honestly not much for a 1:30 song. Use picosong to upload.
Luis Wright
Are we doing the whole whole song? it seems like the lyrics are missing a lot of lines
Jace Lewis
Isn't there some Smash player who did this multiple times? Once with other people in the car?
Chase Nelson
Wait. I have a fixed version.
Landon Kelly
yes I do
Chase Davis
now make him an OC

We're only doing the intro. stop at 1:30.

What are the words for the 2 lines at :53 before going back into the chorus?
Aaron Murphy
O-okay, how do I do that thing?
Joshua Sullivan
Unless that's not what you mean, those are just the lyrics.
Luis Rogers
THat is what i meant thanks
Adam King
SORRY IT'S SHIT picosong.com/D9uy/ I'm not happy with it, so I might redo it later.
Mixingfag, since so much of the chorus has overlapping sections, from an editing standpoint, it will probably make the most sense to have people sing one or the other, rather than allowing them to layer it like this. It almost completely prevents you from handling timing errors, and the majority of people aren't going to have a fucking clue how to do it properly, anyway.
Andrew Diaz
Filthy casuals.
Mason Wilson
I just expect people to not do it. But I agree.I recommend that nobody tries to layer their audio unless you absolutely know what you're doing.
Hunter Russell
Also, I love your submission.
Aaron Hill
AND HOLY SHIT! It's fucking perfectly synced!
Fucking follow this guys example Holla Forums. He's a legend. You have no clue how many people were off sync in Rescue Girl, or were on sync and then eventually got out of sync.
Nathaniel Carter
You participated in the Into Free singalong right? You sound familiar.
Adrian Thomas
Your voice sounds like it belongs in a Saturday morning cartoon.
How long have you been singing for? You've got a good handle on hitting the notes and holding vibrato.
Eli Edwards
Here you go! Let's make the video material for the song somewhere else!
Luke Murphy
Dunno if this helps. Voice acting guide about what equipment to use.
Most of us will wail into a default mic, but for those who want a decent mic for work/hobby/etv, this guide seems good.
The guy's other videos on voice acting vids are good as well.
Jace Rogers
Here's a bit more from his initial overview: youtu.be/_sjZJ9i_mH0?t=239 USB mics are apparently the devil.
Jeremiah Collins
Well, we found one of our main voices I bet. Focus on it, try to work out your limits, and you could do stuff with that voice.
Remind anons the obvious, listen to the song a couple times before recording, and when recording wear headphones so you are able to sing along without the mic registering the song in the background
Ayden Adams
Bretty good. Waiting on those submissions. So I've got two and myself.
Josiah Jackson
where's yours? I haven't heard it yet.
Caleb Martin
You truly want me to upload my own singing? I wouldn't mind.
Michael Diaz
You can't hold out on us, who do you think you are?
Daniel Phillips
I do. I'm interested in hearing what you sound like.
Bentley Taylor
I'm not afraid to be made fun of. Here is my singing. I wasn't trying too hard. But I gave it a go. picosong.com/D967/
This is the gayest thing ever and all gaytards who participated in any part of this gay jewry should feel ashamed for being massive faggots. Thank you for your time.
Julian Edwards
Damn. Anyway, good job. I'd say good job to everyone so far. Nobody was terribly off like Rescue Girl.
Decent job, but what's going on in the background? I might be able to get rid of it.
God dammit. I just finished mixing yours.
Also. I need more submissions. I have 6 including myself.
Alexander Harris
there's a fan or something vibrating a floor above me, didn't think it'd be too noticeable
Ryder Miller
I'll work on my submission tomorrow
James Turner
No problem. The others will make it unnoticeable.
Hyped. We need more cause right now it sounds a bit weird, as it always does when you need more people.
Anthony Moore
Make sure to get your recording in before the deadline.
Mason Fisher
scratch that my headphones are shitting the bed. For some reason, I can get the instruments off a song but the parts with singing aren't coming through.
Caleb Gomez
here you go nigger, tell me if the bg lyrics need to be removed
should I even bother trying with a shitty mic and a tongue too big for my mouth?
Landon Howard
I keep saying this. Just try. You really have to fuck up for me to not include it.
Chase Thomas
I can't wait to hear it when it's done.
Joshua Phillips
Here's my shot at it. picosong.com/DfkZ/ I did some light editing, Mixfag, since there was a background hum from a refrigerator, and I got a little TOO into it and tried singing two parts at once at one point, so I fixed that fuck up. That said, I recorded the background vocal parts during the Sonic Boom segments by themselves, if I should upload those and let you add em yourself. I don't trust my skills with Audacity to do it myself properly.
Jaxson Diaz
You were off track on some points. If you want to give me the file you can. I'll add it.
Christian Green
I just want everyone to know how torturous this is sometimes. When you hear Sonic Boom 50 times in a row because you want to make sure everybody is synced as best as they can be, it really gets to you.
Ethan Bell
...
Liam Nguyen
GANBARE, MIXFAG-KUN.
Brayden Green
Yeah, I had a feeling I would be, sorry about that. I don't sing much period, never mind for Holla Forums related shit, so that's my only excuse. Hope the quality is fine considering I recorded using a phone inside a pillow fort I made to reduce shittiness. Anyway, here's the background parts, which are almost certainly off track themselves. First one picosong.com/Dfew/ Second/last one picosong.com/DfeY/
I'm afraid we're going to have to decline your submission.
Jackson Nguyen
I also struggle with the timing because I'm bad and gay, I wouldn't put it in myself to be honest
Kayden Walker
This isn't Holla Forums the musical. I mean, I get a little jealous when I hear some guy on here who sings amazingly, but in the end it's not a big deal if you don't sound like a fantastic singer. As long as you're in it to have fun, it's all good.
hey mixingfag, are we supposed to sing the whole 4 minutes of the op video or just up to the minute and half? I'm seeing anons uploading both the whole thing and the intro only
Grayson Kelly
I think we're going to be doing intro (1:30) only, though mixfag can probably manage to fit the samples to the whole song if he tries
Kevin Morales
This made my fucking morning Thank you user
Dylan Edwards
Can you reupload this. It doesn't want me to download this for some reason.
Daniel Brooks
Am I too late?
Isaac Butler

Austin Hughes
Mark wanted this one gone. He said this one has been up for a while. I'm not gonna argue.
Landon Evans
Nevermind. Somebody locked the new one I made after a new one was requested. We'll just chill here I guess.
Jordan Williams
Yeah, that's not what he meant.
Joseph Harris
How new are you mixfag?
Kevin Campbell
I wish I could sound as good as but I'm a hungover baritone. picosong.com/D4Yg/
Joseph Butler
vocal track coming soon
Tyler Sanchez
well nevermind then
Angel Lewis
user, unless I'm misunderstanding you, I'm pretty sure either you don't know what one of those terms means, or you didn't learned to speak correctly. Sing anyway, I wanna hear.
my singing voice is much lower than my speaking voice, granted I range more of a tenor than a countertenor , pitch-wise, when conversing normally picosong.com/D4Xw/ the latter half of solfege being sung as loud as the initial statement but being dropped off by the mic, it sounds quiet and only catches the midrange tones, it's bizarre
Colton Davis
well after two painful hours of configuring, I finally got this shit through
Bitcrushed Version, because why the fuck not (Optional): >picosong.com/D4jW/
Mason Lee
It sounds like you're trying to sing notes lower than your voice is designed for, which will always sound quieter than a note you can hit properly. Given your speaking voice, I'm guessing that you have upper range that you just don't know how to get to. If a note is in your range, you should be able to hit it with power. (Without straining yourself.)
What you hear in your head isn't what the mic is going to hear, since you've got shit vibrating around in your head that never reaches the mic. Try it on another mic to confirm that it's the mic, and not just the difference of your head and equipment.
Nathan Perry
I've used other mics and it sounds like what I expect but this one seems to have issues with lows, it could be defective or just shit quality, since it was some 20$ mic you never know I've haven't been able to easily hit notes higher than my speaking voice since about 16 and my voice especially when speaking loud trends or trended towards lower pitches I haven't sung regularly in awhile and maybe I just need to get louder to hit the notes properly or something but I'm pretty sure it's just the mic for example, the "da" in that clip was the deepest, and it hit it, I did get a bit louder, but it sounds higher and not lower by virtue of what notes the mic registered
Isaiah Gutierrez
Any chance of moving the deadline to Monday? I only just saw this thread today I have been avoiding Holla Forums for a while due to its no fun allowed policy
Lucas Diaz
Alright, I gotta know: what the fuck is going on in your first pic there?
Dylan Murphy
For all those who are confused, this is how you set up a microphone and prevent peaking, at least with a computer
Not new at all. Been going on multiple chans for years.
David Garcia
Guess I read that wrong.
Logan Reed
What mic/interface do you use?
Nathaniel Wilson
If I move it to Monday, it won't get done until Tuesday probably, maybe even Wednesday, since I have to wire up a clinic's server closet.
If the deadline is Sunday I can surely get it done on Monday.
Carter Nguyen
MXL USB.008 and Audacity with an On Stage ASFSS6 GB Dual Screen Pop Filter
Jaxon Clark
see in that pic, I've got my Compressor and Bitcrusher pedals activated (both were those cheap Chinese Mooer/Donner/Rowan 'rebadges')
The single cable to the far left goes to my audio interface (Presonus Audiobox, because muh MIDI), while the ones on the far right are used power my pedals and Line Out connection to my Microphone (chinese SM57 clone). Both of them run to the bathroom.
It's probably the former (shitty inflection), as most of the time I usually just sung during church sessions, where a grand ocean of the voices of obese women and middle-aged dads would overpower everything in sight
thanks m8 (also p. useful protip for future songs)
how many active users are on Holla Forums? THAT MANY.
Elijah Ramirez
Some of you asked in a previous thread about Val and what he did to last year's musical. I think it's appropriate during the downtime to drop by and share the tl;dr about Val and why you too can hate him.
archive.is/b9Rp1 This thread tells you everything. This was when the musical came to a full stop. It's short but juicy and a worthwhile read, a bit over 100 posts. Since then Val has confined himself to GG threads and shitting up Holla Forums. I capped some of the highlights of the archived thread. I wish this was memorialized on /cow/ or something. It's frankly beautiful in a terrifying way.
tl;dr:
If you still have doubts, read the archived thread yourself. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder how anyone can trust a namefag with his reputation. Remember, only you can help save Holla Forums from cancerous namefags. Once you're done reading this you may be wondering why some namefags continue to namefag even after they have such a terrible reputation.

Holy shit fam your amazing voice kinda reminds me of axel for some reason.

bumpin' for more singers
Nolan Moore
About 20. Deadline is today at 12PM EST. I'm thinking about extending it though.
Ethan Price
We're still getting a decent amount of submissions during daylight hours. Might as well keep it going for a tad longer.
James Sanders
I love listening to you guys sing.
Owen Cruz
picosong.com/D5Ju/ Here. First time contributing to this, feeling unreasonably nervous. Don't know if I'll do the backing tracks.
Benjamin Ortiz
videogames?
Liam Reyes
pretty fucking nice user
Jayden Nguyen
i thought she was smiling, imagine that she is
Jonathan Cox
Do you have audacity? I just figured out a way to sing along while the recording plays at the same time.
Dominic James
...
Thomas Perry
Thanks.
I have audacity but I didn't use it. I played through YT and recorded in FL Studio. If your sound card chokes on playing and recording together, consider downloading these ASIO drivers. asio4all.com/
With overdub on, you can record and sing the song and the background vocals in time.
Robert Richardson
That's interesting, because I'm the one who was handling the managerial aspects of the project from the start, and I already had that shit under control.
Furthermore, after bringing it up to him in a meta thread weeks prior, I tried to get in contact with Mark about the Musical, both by email and in threads, but never heard a word from him afterward. This was around the time when the anniversary show was about to happen, and there was talk about involving the two, but nothing materialized from it. I still don't know what the deal was with that.
Justin Murphy
Yup. I still recommend using asio4all drivers with audacity as they significantly reduce latency.
Jacob Miller
I just realized you were responding to my statement about not doing the backing tracks - that's related to anxiety, not technical difficulties.
Oh, I see. I think you should try it out anyway. You might do better than you realize.
Landon Powell
Fun, user.
Josiah Lewis
is this thread past bump limit?
Ethan Diaz
bump limit is 300 posts or something
Hunter Roberts
It will be soon if we keep talking about the bump limit.
Evan Lopez
Here's my participation. picosong.com/D5Kv/ First chorus I just went with the "sonic boom", which can be used anytime anyway, and second chorus I sang the backup. Also ignore the beginning it was just to get my throat going. Also I didn't listen to the result, I don't like hearing my voice Anyway mixingfag, thanks for making another one ! I can't remember if you're the one who made the metal gear solid Nuclear one (with the changed art and everything), but I'd had so much fun with it too. Can't find the video anymore sadly, guess youtube took it down
Adam Garcia
everyone just told you to fuck off, why don't you take their advice?
Parker Walker
Nah, left another project partly because of him so nothing surprising there.
