SUPERNOTE: The Controversy Resolved

[xXrelitethefuryXx]

i consider anything i hear to be fake, question it, interrogate it, investigate it, prosecute it, then validate that it is indeed fake and all in my head.(:

[vacuumlover1]

A Octo-contra bass clarinet can go as low as this.

[snoopyflick]

the vibartations at 20 beats per second though aren't notes at 20 hz. they don't follow a wave pattern or superpositon of waves. if you speed up the frequencies to 4x the original a note of 80 hz is not produced, it's just a pulsing.

[ShiroHero13]

OMFJ, did they have to show the video at 0:20? DX

[Bigthingreg]

"Ladies and Gentlemen" this is Mambo Number 5. I thought he'd say that.

[gashpare84]

ooohh, thanks!! now I can die in peace.Fuck you!

[User320g]

Notes are signs for writing music and vocal chords can not produce signs... They produce tone... :)

[ASSHOLELA]

Below about 30Hzs A0 your brain can individually resolve each vibration in the note as a separate tap , so the note essentially becomes a string of "beats", as opposed to an actual sound.

[michaelkennedy100]

some of them are not in 1 breath as they proport, however there is no way to prove it apart from cracks in the vocal line and the stomac moving outwards.

[KingMatteus]

A.k.a Vocal Fry, as Brett Manning calls it... Check out singingsuccess channel

[dumbo800]

@KingMatteus Correct. The technical term is vocal fry. What this guy refers to as "notes" probably includes the modal register, falsetto, and maybe even whistle register.

[Gulfporter]

Who cares?

[sto8216]

its actually called a glottal fry and when used during speech is actually considered a voice disorder that would require treatment

[supershawnodeseninja]

hey I can make that noise! I never knew there was a name for it lol.

[coolyoda]

yeah ! super note FTW !

[FTWknob]

Super means Above.

Supernote would be above note.

ITS A FLAT NINTH IN THE OCTIVE EWW!

[joepass87]

this video actually demonstrates what's called "vocal fry" register. there's no such thing as a "super note."

[pisscunt]

O so like death meta l vocals. That would be a supernote

[nickstamp96]

cool:)

[KRONC27]

The superest notes of them all!! Man, the chick in the Grudge had a pretty good super note then, huh!?! :) Thanks for explaining this to us!

[foxbow15]

[Clarklikescereal2]

[johnburnap]

[johnburnap]

sincerely,

john burnap

[PantyMython]

[johnburnap]

hi tessie! thanks so much! i thank my lungs. yeah, i am meeting all sorts of cool people here. it is a pleasure to be a part of this huge network. thanks a trillion tess!

[JessicaIsIn]

these are not notes, their super notes (goofy smile) lmao!

[johnburnap]

hey jessica! did you like my shoulder pads? thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[jardinprayer]

Hey, what would an experiment (or a contest) be without a little controversy, eh?  Once again, John, I am impressed.

[johnburnap]

hi there lynn! i am sure the controversy will continue at least for a while. hey thanks for watching!

[littlefoot0126]

I feel so much better about this now. Thanks for the most helpful PSA!!

[johnburnap]

hi kim! the more you know! thanks so much!

[Aceswolf]

Dude this is so true :) LMAO O well maybe next time they will specify what the note should be.

[johnburnap]

hey mike! thanks for watching bro! i think those guys (rhettandlink) are hilarious and really nice people. but who would have thought about frequencies and stuff! i sure was lucky that this contest was about something i can actually do! thanks alot for you comment buddy!

[iluvkiddy]

wait i dont get it. im i really that blonde?

[johnburnap]

hey jamie! if you have any questions feel free to ask. thanks for watching!

[johnburnap]

hey proto! yeah they asked me if i would wear a blazer with shoulder pads, and of course i found one i could borrow. i like making noise in general. i have a fear of empty space i think. thanks again!

[buffdog15382]

i think it made the video more credited and believable because you were wearing a blazer

[johnburnap]

thanks bro! i knew that blazer was just the thing! it has two sets of shoulder pads for extra cool!

[alwaysbabe26]

awesome

[johnburnap]

thanks tara!

[alwaysbabe26]

lol your welcome

[Bean829]

ah yes, he does his research

good info dude

[johnburnap]

whats up bean!? thanks for the support man!

[NakedJKid]

i agree 100 percent!

[johnburnap]

hey naked! thats right! if they wanted a soprano they should have said so! thanks man!

[Johnny1969]

There's a supernote controversy?? I thought the only controversy around here was about getting rick-rolled into clicking that damn audio preview button every time I go to post a comment!

[johnburnap]

yeah that stupid feature! i do think its fun to try and use phonetic spelling to get it to say things just right. well, i dont see the button anymore... hmmm maybe the monkeys are asleep. thanks again bro!

[cooksterz]

Scientifically explained. I think its cool that so many did the creaky notes, i wanted to do it and call it the Super Frog note!

[johnburnap]

hey cooksterz! i love it! superfrognote controversy... when does a tadpole turn into a frog exactly!? thanks for stopping by!

[Inconnubeing]

Very informative again. Great video. Thank you for explaining it to us.

[johnburnap]

hey JD! thanks alot man. i feel kind of mixed about the whole thing really. but i guess they should have thought of that when they made the rules. still, alot of fun. most of all i like your little method of defining a note way better! peace!

[Inconnubeing]

Thank you. But you sorted it all out for us. And thats cool. Plus you introduced me to something new. I like learning new stuff. Got something for you eshano22 and rhett and link tomorrow.

[happyjoyjoy12]

yeah that vocal cord thing or whatever it was was really freaky!

[johnburnap]

yeah that was way past the uvula for sure! deep throat!

[happyjoyjoy12]

it looks like something else if u know wat i mean. but ya thanks for the info!

[JustHellen]

lol, very informative john!!! your screen shot scared the crap out of me though. i was like what did i subscribe too.. haha

[valerie2776]

Hahaha me too. I was a little startled there...ok, a lot.

[johnburnap]

[johnburnap]

[RhettandLink]

[johnburnap]

[Urnkneekovaks]

Sounds like you are zeroing in on sound; I'll make note of that.

[johnburnap]
