Sing With Bill!

[TheHorribleAlchemist]

I feel like I have see this video too late D:

Dang my new subscriberness

[TheFallenWind]

If I had a decent mic I would totally send one in! Maybe next time man...

[CleverestWitch2188]

I just sent a clip in... and I am sitting here all ~nervous~. I did this like 200 times and finally got one I was okay with sending. Still nervous. Hope it's okay. :]

[RainbowTapir]

I'm not gonna be able to record mine until tomorrow evening (GMT, so more like noonish-early afternoon over there), would that be too late?

[doctornoise]

@RainbowTapir nope, not too late

[RememberTheTrees]

Just sent mine in!

I have a feeling it's too quiet, but any louder got staticky. >.< Eh well, I tried.

It was fun. ^^

[SRB846]

Those individual clips freaked my dog out. Just saying. I would love to help, but I don't have a good microphone, and would also have trouble with the no background noise thing. Sorry!

[fecklessman]

are harmonies okay or are we going for just a straight up unison deal here? i'm guessing they're fine due to the nature of gang vocals, but i was just curious.

[doctornoise]

@fecklessman no harmonies, just sing er how you hear it! :)

[fecklessman]

@doctornoise laaaaaaaaame. okay.

[greendayb5]

Will you alert me if you use my wonderful voice in your delightful song? (See that. Confidence. With a capital C.) :D

[doctornoise]

@greendayb5 if you sent one in, I'll be email everyone back at some point. Probably once the song is 100% complete

[tjbudzis]

What if I accidentally sing better than you? ;)

[doctornoise]

@tjbudzis then I'd be surprised CUZ YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!! haha <3 SING IT TIM DAMMIT!

[rhysallan96]

i'm trying to record it now, but i keep saying 'We are the dead and homeless' XD. Oh and i do indeed speak doobly.

[emmfan09]

I would totally do this if I had a good mic! hahaha

[nerdymechanic]

Just wondering what Key the recording is in? Thanks.

[doctornoise]

@nerdymechanic no idea, really. I know it's something A-G though!

[LaurelRavenclaw]

So, are we going to be a zombie chorus? No wait, I guess that would be "We are the Undead and Hopeless".....

[gagebeal]

sooo you want us to put on that rekording all the things on that mp3?

[doctornoise]

@gagebeal I'm not sure what you mean. you just sing to the mp3 I've provided in the doobly down and send me your singy parts as an mp3, wav, aiff, whatever format with no background noise. Just your voice singing the parts and that's it.

[nursepeachy]

Shit, I too am late in paying for my licence plates! Thanks for the reminder.

[doctornoise]

@nursepeachy haha, right? I still haven't paid for mine. I can get away with it til the first of october!

[eragonlover1]

You mean...I can't record right next to my running lawnmower? 0_0

[doctornoise]

@eragonlover1 you most certainly can. I just won't use it. :)

[sivartis]

Ooh, I hope i remember to do this when I get home!

~Trav

[doctornoise]

@sivartis haha, Don't forget Travis!! *waves fist*

[LoonyLuna48]

Just sent you my clip! I am super excited about this project containing awesome.

[doctornoise]

@LoonyLuna48 thanks for sending in a clip!!

[CurrentlyDisconected]

Cool i will give it a go

[doctornoise]

@CurrentlyDisconected happy to hear! def. send a clip in :)

[riff1024]

OR ELSE! :D

[SteveVader101]

Great! my college has this bitchin' recording studio I can get in, so I'll try and record it tomorrow.

[doctornoise]

@SteveVader101 excellent!

[MrCartman2578]

You have beautiful eyes...

[JaminPotter]

Quick question, do you want us to include the repeated phrases on the recording, or just one clip of each line?

[doctornoise]

@JaminPotter I'd prefer that all the lines were sung along with even though many are the same thing over and over again. :)

[HighKingTurgon]

Bill, I'm afraid I don't have a better mic than the one built into my laptop. I am very excited about your album, though, and I wish you the best!

[charlottepoet]

good to know that even those of us who can't sing still have a chance :) my sister and i were just discussing (and it was confirmed by our aunt) that our mom (and her resulting kids) are the only ones in the family who can't carry a tune! - jessie

[MogalyBogal]

3:31 epic accidental pirate face

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

bill i will do this for you

[helenzebcharles]

I'd love to do this but I have no microphone :( Booo

[mrd4518]

shame i don't have a good microphone, otherwise i'd love to help :(

[dedicatedrr]

I'm glad it's okay if you suck, but I don't have a microphone anyhow ;) I'm excited to hear the finished product now!

[JohnNicholasYT]

Dang it >.< I wish I didn't get my house robbed.. I totally would help you :(

[itiselizabeth]

Crowd-sourcing being utilised in a wonderful way! Shame I don't own any just audio equipment. Good luck! 

[AccordianTheif]

I have a question for a confuzzeled Accordion Thief: Are our voices required to be recorded in time with the voice on the recording, in the way that our recording should come out to about the same length as the zip file, and have equal pauses between phrases?

[doctornoise]

@AccordianTheif not at all, so long as all the parts are in the audio file that's all I need. I will take care of the lining up of the tracks when I drop them into the Session. :)

[Nerdylation]

I'm getting over a cold. so whether I get mine done is dependant on getting through without needing to blow my nose immediately before or during each thing.

I thought for a second that you meant Rap Lyrics when you said "gang vocals."

[doctornoise]

@Nerdylation haha, rap lyrics. awesome. even if you're sick if you can half ass it go for it!

[DeGKyofangirl]

So what do you consider good recording equipment? All I have is my macbook pro.

[doctornoise]

@DeGKyofangirl it's certainly worth a go. Typically something better than that, but if I can get it to sound good/decent I'll still use it.

[karebear5891]

Any recommendations for an easy to use program to record with? I have a professional microphone, but no software to record with.

[doctornoise]

@karebear5891 hmmm... actually every program I use is rather expensive...but I think you can use Soundforge by sony on a trial basis...and hey, that's long enough to record the parts. I'd suggest starting with that!

[CleverestWitch2188]

Yesssssss. Another excuse to use the fancy USB condenser mic I just bought for a video that I thought I would never use again.

:]

[kira902k]

Of course you choose such a freaking *challenging* part of the song for us to sing.

Haha, I'll try it out, but if I think your ears will fall out when you hear it...I may not ever send it. We shall see. :)

I'm excited for the album.

[doctornoise]

@kira902k whether it's bad or good, SEND IT! :)

[CodedLockFilms]

I'll do my best!

[doctornoise]

@CodedLockFilms that's already good enough!

[ModernApple]

I think it's so cool that you race! Have a fabulous day :)

[PaulSaysThings]

i get what you say about singing with confidence. i play guitar with confidence and it makes it seem like i'm better than I am

[doctornoise]

@PaulSaysThings exactly!

[PaulSaysThings]

i knew i should have bought that fancy USB mic in the school bookstore today...welp

[TheCAPTAINman128]

who commented and didnt thumbs up. you bastard.

[BrandNewGen]

I am so going to do this, even though I am sure I will sound terrible and you won't be able to use it, lol. 

[akalaynee]

@BrandNewGen Agreed, but we sing with Bill songs all the time (well, the words we can understand anyway) So we'll be fine. :D

[doctornoise]

@BrandNewGen terrible is good enough :)

[eddana2]

Bill... do you want a .wav, .mp3, or something else?



[doctornoise]

@eddana2 any format is absolutely fine. if you DO send an mp3 though make sure it's at 160kbps or higher. preferably higher. 

[KittehGoneWild]

Really wish I could but my mic is shit sadly. :(

[hellorikkio]

Just sent mine in!

[doctornoise]

@hellorikkio thanks a lot!

[CallMeBlake1]

7 days, Oh good. :) I'm looking forward to the song!

I'll try my best to get something in ( with No background noise!)

[doctornoise]

@CallMeBlake1 you can do it!

[bo0kw05m]

I don't even know if my mic works, but if it does I will definately give this a try!

[Tennath]

The Doobly-down is the more evolved form of the Doobly-doo. EVERYONE knows that...I think...would that be too big of an assumption?

Seeing that I'm also one of those people who would probably murder the track...I'll give it a go, possibly. Audacity will make me sound better, lol. Too bad we can't use effects. Auto-tune would be hilarious if mixed in with a crowd.

[doctornoise]

@Tennath haha, NO AUTO TUNE :)

[LalalalalaLauren75]

oooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo! I want to!

[AllyRegins]

This is awesome, I don't think my mic is good enough but I might try it and see what I can come up with.

[doctornoise]

@AllyRegins even if you're not sure it's good enough, send it in

[duplicatehelix]

Bill! Count me in!

[doctornoise]

@duplicatehelix awesome will!

[Silver1226]

Sorry, I would love to help but I live in a dorm, there is no way I can get a background noise-less moment.

[crimsong19]

Cool. Hrm ... maybe.

- Jason

[footynutguy]

Tempting. Shame I can't sing a note. I will see if I can have a go.

Was one of the examples used in your video Alan?

[CallMeBlake1]

@footynutguy Ha ha ah, poor Alan.

[doctornoise]

@footynutguy nope it was a couple of members of Searchlight :)

[telmacblack]

I would help out with this, but i know my mic wont work for this. Im not worried about the end result for this, i know it will be great with what you do get.

[CharlieJoeArmstrong]

I'm in a band maybe we'll help out. are there allowed to be more than one singer? or in another wording, can my whole band sing it on one track?

[doctornoise]

@CharlieJoeArmstrong if it's crisp, clear, loud and proud...hell yes! all at once is absolutely fine!

[bekabee24]

All I got from this video is that you have a mustache.

[BarryAldridge]

Doodlydown... I love it, you should use it more Bill.

[hypedragon]

Ooh! Yay! I'm excited!

[RainbowTapir]

If we want to sing along to each part, should we send each part in a separate audio file or all together? (If that made sense)

[doctornoise]

@RainbowTapir all in one audio file would be easier on me. If not possible, I can still work with it.

[XkittykatkidX]

i have no decent recording equipment. not even a microphone :(

still, i look forward to hearing the gang vocals!

[NotWinter]

sorry it just makesw me want to ask... what's in your cupboards?

[MichaelMidnight]

Good luck with the project dear Doctor! I will try my best to send a clip!!!

[MagnificentSteph]

Fortunately I do speak doobly.

[djdevil94]

zero views no comments. i win

[bernieb223]

I was wondering when this was happening.

[MagnificentSteph]

I would say first, but...
