Multitrack vocal improvisation

[ILUVPICKLES300]

OH EM GEE! :O

[harmony2000]

Awesome!!

[scootergreen3]

Hi davidportugels, can you tell me how to do multiple videos in Imovie. I have a Imac 2011. I know how to do picture in picture and side by side but imovie will only let me do 2 videos in one. I exported and imported but It didn't work. My goal is to video myself playing guitar in one video, then play bass in the 2nd, then piano, then drums etc. I have watched several videos but they didn't explain in a way that I could understand. I want to be a one man band. I have Garageband. Thanks!

[davidportugheis]

@scootergreen3

I'm really sorry but I really have no idea.... I've never used iMovie. I did this video with Sony Vegas, but I tried so many different things to achieve this effect right now I don't know how I made it. And besides, I haven't used Vegas in 4 years... sorry! Perhaps you could ask the other one-man bands :)

[cuztikan]

Dude you look like Colter Stevens

[CallTheQueen]

You look freaked out by something lol Nice voice though

[SILENTSHIPSvid]

What program did you use to make this?

[davidportugheis]

@SILENTSHIPSvid

Sony Vegas, but it was kinda complicated and counternintuitive....

[FantasticBabblings]

Very nice. How did you do in the contest?

[davidportugheis]

@FantasticBabblings

I was selected to give a live audition, but I'm a terrible live performer and I got way too nervous! So I didn't make it in the end. But the video did get me preselected! I'm glad you liked it :)

[BugzBunnae]

WHOA! that was epic!

[soundwrks]

Great stuff.

[buddyeagle]

PORTUGHEIS OU PORTUGUES FROM PORTUGAL? FUNNY ANYWAY.

[davidportugheis]

@buddyeagle

I don't really understand your question... but I'm not from Portugal, and my last name comes from Romania! :P

[gamsjune4]

lol

[spangleJ]

I'm also interested in what software you used to do this.

Very cool.

[krazykiru]

This is just awsum......i liked it....i wud like to discuss things with you bout music in ur profile....in facebook.

[davidportugheis]

@krazykiru

[MidKnightRain2]

I love this! It's absolutly amazing!

[BroncSoldier05]

This sounds amazing... What style of music is this? This sounds like it would be a renaissance style piece.

[homesiscool]

My God....That is so attractive.

[albertvilalta]

Which program does that?

Can you say it to me?

[JustinGipson]

what kind of contest?

[davidportugheis]

It was a contest to form a comedy group, and it was needed to be able to sing, play an instrument and be humorous... I sent a video doing all these things as best as I could and was selected for the final round of 19 contestants but then deselected in the end.... this video was just for the singing :)

[55555bob]

Hahahahahahaha I love it.

[ChristianGastl]

reminds me of leonin, perotin, gregorian choral, (; had a nice time with learning it at school. Very nice!!! great job

[loadedpixels]

You are so amazing, with great talents like this, you'll go far distances. Good luck!

[davidportugheis]

It's comments like yours that inspire and motivate me to keep composing. Thank you so much...

[Partyburner]

It sounds very nice!

Videos like this one are usually referred to as "multitrack" - I strongly recommend you to add this to your video title as well as the tags to get much more hits.

[davidportugheis]

Thanks Partyburner! Added the word just now!

[CraZyDanone2]

so great.. really

[TheMB93]

nice how can you split a video in 4 in movie maker?

[Xaiaq]

i think he didn't use movie maker, try sony vegas :)

[carpetim]

[bryarworship]

[KarminaBurana]

But... why he looks so scared?

xD

[realangels]

Reminds me of... a renaissance chant... especially with the cadences at the end of each phrase...

[ColdBloodedIncarnate]

That was beautiful!!! And strangely hilarious...>.>....your expressions are very funny, yet they go along with the voice each sings...its...unique!

[davidportugheis]

Thank you so much!! :)

[danilofiw]

[etdude]

A lot of programs can do this multiple screen effect (Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, or even an amateur program like FX Home).

[YouTubed]

You look a bit strange

[sluggo163]

dude's voice sounds awesome.... don't see how it was vocal improv though

[davidportugheis]

Thanks! I improvised every line in one take each... First I did a sort of 'main melody' and then just recorded more on top...

[ub3rsc00ber]

It sounds like it belongs in Pan's Labyrinth. I don't know why

[Blake198]

very creative and peaceful sounding, yet creepy at the same time :P Nice job! Make more soon!

[jannokas85]

Consecutive 5ths and octaves are these bits, where the music sounds heavy, coarse and very unsmooth...dry...but you also develop very lovely bits, where the music seems to actually move in a very smooth flow and noticably more independence in the parts...but i suppose if u didn't even write this down...you couldn't possibly be aware of it :P

[jannokas85]

Well althought it's very funny, especially the faces you pull...it's full of consecutive 5ths and octaves...very unsuitable of the 16th century style vocal polyphony ;)

[WimPie]

fun

[babytrex1]

this is like funeral music......but its nice!

[VengefulTikiGod]

Very cool! Vocal harmonies = \m/>.<\m/

[CAbraveskid]

wowo that was really good

[CrunBath]

better than 'one man band.'

[minylover234]

gj xD... The top right corner looks so dull... same face whole way through xD... i swear you could've just taken a picture and looped the sound and it would've been the same xD

[davidportugheis]

The idea was to make each singer have a particularity, so that even though it's me all the time, they're nonetheless different characters. One is expressive and light, another one is emotional and sad (i'm actually crying there - bottom left) and so on...

[lilshortieashley]

that was really weird

[coorevits2]

after that there should come a beatbox

[chefgrad]

yes.. because... "a beatbox".. is the solution to everything :P Liked the video just the way it is.

[acolytegnat]

lol you look a bit like the guy from donnie darko (jake gyllenhall)

anyway :) nice singing :D

[modmasta]

what program did you use for multiple screans

[davidportugheis]

I used Vegas 7.0, but it was nearly impossible to make, it took me a very long time...

[nataliejuliana]

that was kinda cool, some of the faces you made during some of the notes were a little scarey though!

[raicrunem]

whahahah the upperright one is good LOOOOL
