A couple of weeks ago I was experimenting with the TC helicon vocaliser on my PA1000. One of the songs I intend to record should I manage to get enough songs to compile a new CD would be this old Beachboys song written and composed by the inimitable Brian Wilson...Note that this is just a trial run and I am going to record it again. Suggestions on how to improve on it are of course always welcome!

Wow John - great performance of a great song! I have never heard that song before and it was a joy to listen to! I so envy those of you who can vocalize - and you did a very commendable job on this song. The TC Helicon sounded like it tracked your lead very well. Thanks for sharing and share more please!

Great tune, and I look forward to hearing the final product . I’m sure there are others here who can give you better advice on the VH, but initially I thought it could be used more sparsely. I know The Beach Boys harmonized most or all of that song, but no need to try to recreate what they did. For me, the VH effect is best used very sparsely. If it’s used to much it sounds too much like a gimmick or fake. You have avwonderful voice and sensitive interpretation. Too much VH effect can take away from your interpretation Just my thoughts . Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Great job. My only suggestion would be that since you are looking to make a CD you might consider singing the harmony seperately yourself. More work, but it would make for a better end result.

I agree, you’re a very good singer, why not harmonize yourself?

John, if I may - not sure how you 'triggered' the harmony, but you might want to try to record the harmony seperately using right hand chords to get more nuances in the harmony ... also, as was suggested, perhaps drop the harmony in some places, even if only on the line "in my room" ... Looking forward to the finished product ...
.....since this is an in progress..
