Topic: Some help please... Posted: November 13 2005 at 04:56 |
Well I don't know how I could really help you. The easiest way would be
to make a melody line and compose notes that are a third above and a
third below the notes of the melody. Otherwise just take note from
bands that do use vocal harmonies.
If you're trying to make something that's Spock's Beard-like/Gentle
Giant-like, obviously you're going to listen to them. Though I think
melodically, there isn't much magic about their vocal harmonies, it's
just the way they arrange them. The way they do it is like, one person
sings the melody then another will sing a melody that is harmonic to it
or just the same melody but with some notes changes, usually it's
arrange like one singer sings one thing then another comes in, so the
notes topple over each other. I'm not sure how that would look like on
standard notation, you just have to feel it out really. Though it
should take some sort of rhythmic fashion.
I hope that helps

Do you have any midi composition/editing tools. Something high end would be better, like Sonar. You can write out or play in the melody, then add the harmonies and see how well they work.

Hi.
Don't quite understand wat you want help with, but for me it healps
plotting out the melody lines on midi-sequenser. that way youcan
also change a nt at the time, and make it all fit.
Yo ut alsomake sure th lrics you ue have the same percusive elements, if you plan to bend.
Guess that is all the tips I can come up with.
