    Ah yes but it has to have a melody and all that stuff too. And the passionate vocal for IALW, Olof?


    The passionate vocal was done having the studio version in the headphones and myself to low in the mix, so I didn't hear myself really. The result was some really off key singing due to not hearing myself. I did a better take after that one though.

    Ah right, I've done that before and you do a great recording and then you can hardly hear yourself. I hate when that happens.

    That wasn't really what happened though... I played the song in my headphones through the audio interface that my mic was connected to, so I heard the song and sang at the same time, without getting the song in the recording, only my singing. The fault I did was too low monitor volume, so the song overpowered my singing in my head phones. So I didn't hear myself which of course led to off key singing.
  4. Have you ever heard Where My Heart Will Take Me (Faith of the Heart)?
  5. I dont understand why would you sing out of key, whether you hear yourself or not. I dont hear myself at the concerts (at all), but further audio/video recordings prove I was 100% in key. I dont know, maybe its just me, please tell me if Im wrong!

    Your voice could be better trained than mine, or your hearing is wrong.

    If you don't hear what tone you produce, it can be kinda hard to stay in key. I wasn't that off key, but a little from time to time.

    What kind of concerts do you mean?
  7. Rock concerts, obviously. Lately, Muse and U2. Both very loud, and both in second line of GA...

    Anyway, l know what you mean now. It just doesn't happen to me then
  8. Now I wonder how you can know you stayed in key?
  9. Because there are videos that prove it

    MESSIIIIII
  10. I just wonder how the videos can prove it if you as you say, couldn't hear a thing of yourself (maybe that was an overstatement? or maybe 100% on key was that)
  11. Or maybe the reason i went off key a few times was straining like crazy to try to sing like bono with a hangover, a technique I'm not trained in, which in turn makes it harder to stay on key when not hearing yourself.
  12. Well, l get lost into the music very easily and... I'll tell you: l have a natural ability to sing in tune - l was diagnosed with relative ear (wikipedia it if you wish) six years ago, together with gifted intelligence or whatever it's called)... I was being serious when l told you l sing in tune without effort, but l was also being serious and honest when I asked if you had the problem. I'm sure it's just a minimal out-of-tune thing, though
