You Are My Sunshine Multitrack (Tag)

This is one of the hardest tags we've ever done. My friend Rhett Roberts (barbershopqbass8124) recently did a recording of a tag for You Are My Sunshine. Rhett sang the bass and baritone lines while I sang the tenor and lead lines. The tenor post was quite difficult. Thanks all for watching!

We understand that this may be improper sounding. Most likely because it is, we are only amateurs, we do not sing in a professional quartet or anything like that. We just try to have fun with singing and do the best we can! We hope you all enjoy it anyways.

Equipment used for the video:
MacBook Pro 13" (2010) 2.4 GHz
Panasonic HMC40 (1080p/23.97fps)
Final Cut Express 4
MXL V67C Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

It seems that you guys may be struck with the same problem I had in trying to create a multitrack: a difference in air support. When you're placed in a quiet room with a mic, it can be an unfortunate matter of habit to stop supporting your sound like you would singing with others (the incorrect way to sing more quietly). It's a bit of a mind-screw I'm still trying to figure out...

@OscillatingEthmoid I would have to agree with that statement, but our newer stuff is a lot better. I think we just figured out that we need to go all out ;)

[OscillatingEthmoid]

@JustinMacCrew Exactly. Exactly. The key is to give all the same energy and passion regardless of setting. It just feels a little awkward when your in a quiet room all by yourself :-P.

Cheers! and keep up the hobby!

@JustinMacCrew Well, I'd be very happy to see the final production if you were to do it. Good Luck :)

[JustinMacCrew]

@franklbhs Ya we only realized how difficult it was after we did it lol. Many attempts and failures xD we thought it wouldn't be "too hard" but sure enough it was. Thanks for the compliments. We might do it differently next time though. If we do a "revamp" that is

[JustinMacCrew]

@franklbhs Ya we were trying to figure out how to split the parts honestly. We didn't want to do it the typical way. We understood why they did but we also wanted to try and do it how we would normally do it. :D

[franklbhs]

@JustinMacCrew I perfectly understand and I do admit that this is a very difficult tag even with four separate people so to try and multitrack with two people is a very big achievement. I commend you and your friend for doing as well as you did on this very challenging project.

[franklbhs]

@JustinMacCrew Well then I'm sorry for the misconception about the part. It's just that that is really the only part that would clear up who is singing lead and on top of that, the baritone in the song is higher than the Bb post by the tenor so I would assume that the person posting the tenor note would be the same to sing the baritone as has been done by other multitrackers.

[JustinMacCrew]

@franklbhs Although we do try to keep accuracy at the forefront. You can understand how amateurs would not get it right even though we try to right? :)

[JustinMacCrew]

@franklbhs Yes the scoops was incorrect but very difficult. He actually did not sing the lead. Just that one part. So you were incorrect there.
