I know this is a littel late but Merry Christmas Mike. I was listening to this with my 3 year old daughter today while waiting for her school bus and she realy likes this. it is going ionto my faviorts for her.
It sounds really nice - I love the funky sound with the finger snips! And it's a D2 (the D below the 1st ledger line below the bass clef), isn't it? D1 would be extremely low! :)
Fact #6: I think this? type of recordings where you sing solo and accompany yourself with background vocal tracks suite you the best. I encourage you to do more like this one, "Since You've Been Gone", "The Longest Time", etc.!
I'm grateful for the multiracking community and all it's nice members!
@Chris: Yes, but there are not many people who can hit a D1 in full voice. According to the Wikipedia entry for bass voices, the normal bass range goes only down to E2. Most people (even basses) lack power when singing lower than that. But of course using a microphone and singing it in the morning helps.
And well, there are some extreme examples like in this video: watch?v=ZzafJqw0xHw
you listen to wikipedia? Its not always right you know. I think in my opinion C2 is the bass range because its the lowest C before going into the "1" range.
@Chris: It's not important how low you can go -- it's important how low you still sound nice and powerful.
For a professional singer, the lowest notes should still be loud enough to be heard by the audience when singing on a stage without electronic amplification, being accompanied by an orchestra/choir (at least for classical singers).
That's why you usually don't use the lowest notes you can hit (except for multitracking ;). The range a professional bass singer usually sings in about E2 to E4.
I know... Im saying I can project a C2 ( which is true, you've heard my collab with Brian) I did not use amplification to make it even with the lead that I did along side.
@Chris: Yuu were singing into a microphone -- that's what I mean by amplification. In a classical sense that's "cheating". Without it you would probably not be loud enough to be heard by everyone in the audience when singing on a stage -- especially not when being accompanied by an orchestra. But that's normal. Even professional basses lack power when singing that low. That's why scores for basses are usually written in a higher range.
Haha! Great video, Mike! Nice low D on the end and wonderful arrangement!
Fact #5 - I am thankful for my beautiful wife and kids. They are so supportive and loving. I am also thankful for you. Never met you face to face, but hope to someday. I can tell you are a humble, caring individual. Have a very Merry Christmas!
That was great! Fun, great blend and a classic song revisited : recipe for a good multitrack. I also like the fact you don't show all the videos, it's a distraction from what matters - the music - and I spend more time really listening that watching. Good move. Nice performance, Mike.
this deserves more more more views

I think it's a pretty cool arrangement; kinda reminds me of Rockapella. Also, it's awesome what a night of drinking and yelling can do.
Sweet song dude. Merry Christmas!

D1 = win. I'm a bass (ironic name) and I can't normally hit that.

Woo Woo! it's nice man. I really like it. the intro seems empty compared to the funk through the rest of the song.
here from the editing chair: Merry Christmas man!
