This one I did pretty quickly, the video editing especially, as you can tell on the ending. My FCP kept freezing while rendering and I started getting pissed off, so I just synced the starting and bounced it, so the syncing will be off before the end indefinitely. I recorded Soprano/Alto/Tenor in one afternoon, and Bass the next morning.

This arrangement was made popular by Manhattan Transfer. It was arranged by the Gene Puerling. This piece is an example of how much of a genius he truly was by making such amazing chords and voicings work with only four voices. Some of the most amazing things I've ever heard take place in this song, and my other recording "All The Things You Are" (Gene Puerling).

NO AUTOTUNING OR MELODYNE WAS USED IN THIS RECORDING. (because it is lame and ruins "authentic" music)

Youtube can make it sound a little robotic but it sounds pretty decent in HD, you just gotta give it a bit of time to render if your internet isn't incredibly fast.

Recorded with an Apex 435 Mic through an M-audio pre usb. Audio mixed in Logic Pro, and video in Final Cut Pro

Really, really well done. That sounds incredible. Happening across things like this highlight the beauty of the Internet. Thank you.

[daniscool99]

@thehoneyman Thanks! Check out my most recent video "Sweet Lorraine". It's arranged by the same musical genius Gene Puerling, but has a real bass and a real soprano to make it more effective.

Danny:

Awesome job.

Do you have perfect (absolute) pitch?

[daniscool99]

@3rdbillygoat Nope, only a well-trained ear.

[CapitalPlayhouse]

Um...Anyone who listens to this and complains about some MINOR pitch issues that the average ear doesn't hear anyway, is way out of line. Whoever you are, you are amazing. I'm a giant fan of Puerling's arrangements, and you have knocked it out of the park. I'm subscribing...and posting on my fb for the sake of my students.

Thank you for being born.

[daniscool99]

@CapitalPlayhouse You can thank my parents for that one but I'll be sure to pass the message along.

[skippingkitten]

Really, really good job, very cool!!

[65Seasons]

Bravo! Great Job! The Manhattan Transfer reborn.

[NoSkidz]

manonfire said it best.......lower the soprano and bump up the tenor. Its a beautifully arranged peice (MT?) that really highlights a strong tenor line.

[MisterEnsues]

@3:19 gives me goose bumps. Really beautiful.

[manonfire1601]

this is amazing. i'd lower the soprano volume and up the tenor just a little bit though. but amazing.

[canboy2107]

I've never heard any better a capella from one person. Thumbs up!

[andocrates]
