Producing modern vocals that sound crisp and clean is pretty easy these days if you have access to pitch correction software. Even without programs like Melodyne, Autotune, Wavetunes, or Nectar, you can still make your vocal mix sound WAY better just by using some common sense mixing principles like panning, doubletracking, compression, and EQ.
Most of my videos are theory based- this one breezes past the theory and writing to jump straight to production. In my opinion, the modern musician MUST consider production when writing his/her music, unless they strictly intend on only performing the music live. The more production knowledge a composer has, the more easily their songs can realize into the actual world without any hiccups. It also gives you a lot of confidence as a songwriter, knowing the sort of production techniques you intend to use when writing that can create certain sounds or cover up certain deficiencies.
Note- there are some strange audio glitches during the demonstration part of the video that really only pop up because of the way I filmed this. In the final rendered version that you hear at the beginning of the video, none of those strange glitches (clips and autotune freakouts) are audible (to me at least!). Also, if you have some criticisms on my arrangement, I'm game for a public call-out on what I did "wrong".

Forget singing, go into announcing. You definitely have a radio voice.

Dude you sound way better unedited than like 3/4 of every local band ever.

Jake: ...We can actually get rid of all these little modulations.
dying modulations sounds

I expected way worse honestly, and the song itself is really really cool, great job :D

First, as a Berklee-trained vocalist, I donāt really have a huge problem with the way the unedited audio sounded. Much more interested in the how you wrote and arranged this given that you got this kind of Billy Joel thing going on. I would love a vocal arranging follow-up video.

I can't stress enough how well presented this video is. As a person who used to make "homemade" music covers, this is a masterclass.

I live for that āI have not been doing fine / Iāve relied on Melodyneā rhyme.
(and the little Broadway vibe at the end of it)

Epic intro!!

I wish more people understood what you said:
1 - If you miss the note by more than half step, you'r probably not a singer
2 - Tune correction programs works if you know how to sing decently, they're not magic tools.

Jake, you have an amazing ability to explain and demonstrate the concepts you are trying to get across. I have learned so much from you. I am 60 years old and have been playing music all my life but have never been in a band. I was going to say that you bridge the gap - but really you fill in the void for people like me who are self taught experienced players who are really yearning to learn more but are too old or self conscious to get more advanced training. You obviously have a full grasp of theory and the gift of breaking it down into manageable chunks that people like me can understand and digest. You have certainly opened up my mind and expanded my abilities. You are a down to earth learning experience and I sincerely thank you for all your hard work. I hope to make you proud someday!

Just a quick note about that "gonna bust out a song in the cafeteria." So I went to a music oriented highschool in germany (musisches gymnasium) and one year we were doing the musical my fair lady. We basically involved the entire school our orchestra, choir and theater group all working together none stop on that musical. And yes it actually happened quite often that we would just bust out singing one of the songs and the entire cafeteria sang along. It was pretty cool tbh.

Jake, you are the greatest gift to bedroom musicians from all over the world. Great video as always.

Iām totally all for pitch correction and will use it, but Iāve loved so many āamateurishā performances with so much character, like the unedited part of that intro, that I wish the average modern ear was more used to that raw sound. Not even just unedited vocals, but vocalists who arenāt world class...I just like that shit sometimes idk

this was awesome!

"sometimes good enough is good enough" unironically good words to live by. Our own perfectionism sometimes really gets in the way of learning, improving and - most importantly - getting shit done

Two little things!
1- If you honestly think I sound better without pitch correction, then you probably won't make it far as a choir director, producer or, acapella member. Being that out of tune and wonky with pitch does NOT OCCUR at professional levels of vocal performance. There's a reason why, it's because most people don't like the sound. If you do, congrats- you're special! But sadly the rest of the world wants to hear well performed vocals.
2- At parts of this video, the file i'm working with looks like a STEREO file. This is because I actually rendered out the stems and imported them into a new project in order to mix and make this video. In practice, I recorded in MONO and panned everything to stereo. Also, melodyne won't play with time changes like the slow down I automated at the end, so I was pretty much forced to take my recorded tracks and render them into a brand new set.

The quality of this content is unbelievable. I do not know why the algorithm isn't treating it better, but hope this comment & like helps.

Seriously, I love these vids. Your sharing of knowledge has been invaluable in my own musical learning journey and I greatly appreciate you sharing it.

I come back to this video every few days just to listen to the intro - it's so good and is permanently stuck in my head!
