I'm back with another Multitrack Barbershop Tag! This is one of my all-time favorite barbershop tags. It's a great one for beginners because the lead only has two notes, the tenor isn't very high and the bass isn't very low. I'm not sure I got the video sync'd correctly, and I added some EQ, compression, and reverb but no pitch correction of any kind.

  • My kids totally love you! My two-year-old just came over and pointed to the computer and said, "Sleepy time?" You do a great job :-)

  • @tiffanywaits awww, that's awesome! I've got another video done that I'll be posting soon too.

  • That's my favorite tag (and probably the only one I can tech well - maybe that's why it's my favorite). Well done.

    Another poster here says they didn't here Louis Armstrong sing the line. I have heard him sing it but he sings it 'straight across' - a single note.

    As to your vowel formation on 'down' and 'south' the first part of the dipthong, by my ear, should be more towards an 'ah' sound. I hear a south Jersey or maybe a Maryland accent creeping in there: almost 'day-uwn' .

  • @manplex1 The tweaking of that vowel is intentional to get the kind of tone that I wanted there. Has nothing to do with my accent. And I'm from the south anyway, not northeast.

  • Great stuff Big O, where can I get a copy of Classic Tags by Dave Wright?

    Bob P. (lead) Plymouth, England.

  • @freeserve1942 Just google for classic tags pdf.

  • Hey, Big O!! I stumbled on your video just now and WOW...INCREDIBLE!!! Keep em coming!

  • Oh my god. I love you! =P

  • Sweet! I liked the change in the lead part a lot. :)

  • @murry537 hey, I'm the two-year-old's dad. Your tag just ended one of the longest, crankiest, pre-bedtime fits I've ever seen. I feel like I should sing "Beautiful Lifelong Friend" to you :-P Can't wait for the next one! Post away, sir! Also, my 6 year-old is learning all the parts to these tags. He lets me sing bass, but he covers the rest. Thanks alot for all your work on these!

  • Brilliant man! Makes me miss my high school year that I was in a barbershop quartet(a million years ago). HM

  • @murry537 I try and use Garage band but I don't have an interface for it.

  • Love what you did with the lead! I'm gonna try it when my Barbershop gets together today, thanks!
