50s 3 - Soul by neanderpaul | SingSnap Karaoke
In forever! That's how long it's been since I posted some music vids here. I haven't been making my videos like I used to. My old way of recording all the parts took at least 4 hours to make a video. If I did an involved video on top of recording all the parts it took a few hours more.
So I stumbled upon a karaoke website in 2007. It was okay. But the vocal sound quality was so so. The tracks are superb. The site now has it's own band to record whatever they want. They also write originals for members to write lyrics/melodies on!
Then they made.... an iPhone app. BOOM. Insane quality and making a music video takes 4 minutes instead of 4 hours. I've recorded 69 videos since January.
Here are some other highlights.
James Otto - "just got started loving you" - contemporary country

Alice in Chains - "would" - grunge
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/watchandlisten/play/c09b3a1fb
Billy Ocean - "suddenly" - 80's http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/watchandlisten/play/be9d350b3
Ricky Van Shelton - "I'll leave this world loving you" - 80's country
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/watchandlisten/play/c29781077
The temptations - "my girl" - 60's pop - 4 part harmony
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/watchandlisten/play/bd7ae0253
An original I call "Waikiki"

For those interested here are many many more.

I'm not done with youtube or writing and recording all the parts. This has just been a fun, instant gratification kind of thing.
Thanks for listening.

Bluesheart. I forgot to answer your question. I screwed a drumstick to the headstock to hit the cymbals in my one man band. And My snark tuner is clipped to it. :)

Thanks Wes, bluesheart, and Danny!
It's a really fun site. All of the originals are free to work with. The iphone app is beyond excellent. I've gotten some totally pro sounding recordings. And a bunch of the covers are free.
