    I'm a trombonist and a physics major, so I love all of your bass videos!
    As I understand it, the second frequency produced in subharmonics, lip buzzing, and multiphonics (when you play a note and sing another) is often called the "beat frequency". It is defined as simultaneously the difference and the sum of the two frequencies being made.
    So for the subharmonics:
    sing 116Hz (B flat 2) and fry 174Hz (F3) - the result is 174 - 116 = 58Hz or B flat 1
    Likewise, for buzz lips and singing (you buzz your lips to play a brass instrument so they're pretty similar).
    As for inward singing and those extra subharmonics, I'm going to have to do some more reading!
    Given that the beat frequency is also sometimes referring to the sum of the frequencies, I think that means you can sing two notes at once...
    Say you sing 116Hz and 174Hz but could somehow amplify the sum, that would be 116 + 174 = 290Hz which is a rather flat D4. In tune, D4 has a frequency of 293.66Hz. So you could in theory produce some wild overtones from the harmonic series if you can sing and fry quite high...
    Also I can make some horrible sound with my head voice where I sound like a train's whistle, which produces two very out of tune notes at once.
    There's gotta be so much possible that has no research into it at all!
    Anyway, sorry for the long comment, hope you all have a great day!

    I'm a beatboxer. I understand why you may have heard that ingressive phonation is inward bass, and that may be an ambiguity that rose while the sound was being discovered and not many people understood it, but nowadays, inward bass is a fairly common bass technique that many can do profficiently and there's a general consensus on.
    So there is a bass technique called chest bass. It is done by relaxing the muscles in the vocal cords area, then tightening a muscle that feels to be below the vocal cords. (This could possibly be equivalent to the growl you do, although you may do the growl with some tension near the vocal cords as well)
    What is today mainly accepted as inward bass is chest bass, but breathing inward. However, here and there you'll find people that argue that ingressive phonation (which is with the vocal cords) also should receive the same name while being a different sound.

    • @Aristotle000001
      @Aristotle000001 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      So I'm here replying to my own comment :P
      So you know how I was saying that chest bass is with this mysterious muscle below the vocal cords area? I've been messing around and my conclusion now is that chest bass is with the vestibular folds like you said with the growl, but instead of tightening them like in throat bass, you relax them and tighten somewhere lower to help direct the air flow.
      Idk sometimes it would be nice to have an x-ray or something :P

    Inward bass is different from ingressive phonation. Inward bass is pretty much the vocal growl but going inward. Inward bass is more rough sounding.

      You are right, in the beatbox community, so-so, helium, b-art (he uses both inward bass and inward vocal fry), and even Napom use the inward vocal fry/inward phonation as a beatboxing bass. Whereas inertia, Audical, piratheeban, and markooz use true inward bass. My question for you is, can you describe the mechanics behind d low’s variation of inward bass, and twoh’s variation of inward bass? I feel like my hypothesis is that d low’s inward bass sounds so rumbly and deep and gravelyy because he’s adding vocalization to it, the inwards version of vocalized chest bass, basically a few others in the beatbox community have asserted this too. Whereas twoh’s inward bass variation seems like he’s combining either a falsetto inward vocalization (but then how is this different than the normal “high” inward bass that Audical is known for using?) and an inward vocal fry as well.

    There's actually a couple more beatboxing techniques (I know of) that allow you to use lower pitches. The first one being the sub-bass lip roll (which is kind of an "inward sideways lip buzz"), and the second one being the vibration bass (which I believe to be the equivalent of the second subharmonic for throat bass). Plus, the inward bass is not exactly the same thing as an inward phonation, or better: inward phonation is a type of inward bass, but it's not the only kind and it's rarely used in beatboxing. Cheers from a bass-boxer ;)

    Your videos on subharmonic singing have been fantastic. Have you paid attention to the high Russian tenors who sometimes are there beside your favorite oktavists? They get up into the countertenor range, but do not sound like standard Baroque/early music countertenors. They have a very clear, light tone up there, but they maintain vocal cord compression, as far as I can hear. It's a beautiful. unique sound. I think I could learn to do it on my own, but if you've analyzed what they are doing and wanted to make a tutorial, that would be great.

    Hey nice video David! But for the inhale singing at 5:41, It doesn't sounds like inward bass to me. I think it's just inward vocal fry, although a lot of beatboxers say it is inward bass. For me inward bass is more like inward version of vocal growl. You can check some inward bass tutorials on youtube, you will find it's a different technique.

    During subharmonics you let both of your vocal folds at the same rate. The fry synchronized with every other flap of the folds prevent every other fold from happening. More fry can block more flaps from happening creating 2nd subs etc.
    Vocal fry is just air bubbles passing through and they can just block some flaps if its the right time.

    Very nice! I really appreciate the effort you put into being clear and concise. As a vocal bass that's been following you for a while, I've tried to look into beatboxing bass techniques, and a) there are a million of them and they have 5 names for everything, and b) they use such different vocabulary to describe and teach them that it's really hard to decipher and translate into general singing. I've heard of the ones you mention here, and I'd love to see more of you taking beatboxing techniques and "translating" them for use in singing. Great video!
    PS: Loved the instrumental perspective on subharmonics, I've used the organ trick myself and it's a good thing to keep in mind when arranging. From the brass/instrumental perspective, which I'm very familiar with, pedal tones aren't actually subharmonics. The normal "fundamental" of a brass instrument is the second note of the (normal, upwards) harmonic series, that's why if you tighten your lips you go up a fifth to the first partial. Pedal tones are the true fundamental, the first note of the harmonic series that the instrument is capable of. That being said, subharmonics do happen! if you try to go really high in a low brass instrument, sometimes your tone will start to sound weak and you'll hear the note get fuzzy, and if you listen close the fuzziness is an octave down. Brass players call this "double buzzing", and its something they try and avoid. Kinda sounds like if you try singing high in subharmonics, they start to get weak and they sound fuzzy as the bass sound becomes less prominent and ixes more with the chest fundamental. I've messed around with how low I can get the double buzz on a euphonium, and I haven't been able to get it down to the range of pedal tones, but I'd be interested to hear if other people have.
    (On a somewhat related note, the physics of subharmonics makes total sense, but I fall into the camp of people that's a bit skeptical if that's what's happening in your throat or a brass instrument, even after using the technique myself four a couple years now. It still doesn't make sense to me that a type of relaxation would be for one vocal fold/lip to vibrate at a higher frequency, that seems like it would take more energy to sustain, not less. Some day I'm gonna get a clear mouthpiece and a really good slo-mo camera and figure this out once and for all.)

    Hey David, great video I very much appreciate the vocal knowledge getting shared to us in the beatbox community. However, after doing much studying and self-research into the anatomy of beatbox vocal basses myself, I’ve understood that “chest bass” or vocal firebreathing/“the growl” is NOT caused by the vestibular folds or the false vocal chords “by themselves”. Remember, the false vocal chords are actually the structures which cause throat bass or kargyraa throat singing, song with the true folds. The growl is actually a result of the EPIGLOTTIS, this can be be activated alongside the true folds or by itself, this is what we call “vocalized chest bass”. I’ve seen a stroboscopy of a beatbox performing chest bass myself to be able to confirm that the growl is NOT due to the false folds, like you’ve espoused in your previous videos, just wanted to share some knowledge!

    If you search up vibration bass, it's basically throat bass but with the false cords doing a 5th below, like the 2nd subharmonic technique but with throat bass.

    I actually use kargyraa in my school choir! It takes a lot of practice (duh), but you can sort of *round* out the sound, and it sounds more like chest. There’s also subharmonics that you can produce with throat bass. However, I only use it when we sing in Russian or similar sounding languages, because to *round* the sound, the vowels change, making it sound terrible with English words lol

    Interestingly enough, the only thing I can't do yet from all of the techniques you showed is the subharmonics. I haven't been able to maintain it for more than a second at a time before popping off of it. Throat singing is very useful not only in beatboxing, which I can say by experience, but also for metal, as it becomes kind of easier to achieve false chord screams and such. I believe my difficulties comes with fry-related sounds in general, as I can't start many notes in vocal fry, nor perform a fry scream or maintain a subharmonic note for more than one second; being such an unsupported sound I find it hard to get just right, but your videos helped me a lot (I couldn't even get a single second before) especially when knowing exactly what to search for, so thank you
    Also, while very similar, ingressive phonation isn't the same as inward bass, but you absolutely need to know how to do it to achieve the inward bass. It is like screaming inwards, very weird but even more powerful. It is very harsh if done wrongly, though. I would love to see you covering some information about it when possible

  • @samuel3punkt069
    @samuel3punkt069 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So summarized what I think on when to apply and what vocal folds used:
    1. Growl: only for Microphone --> no regular vocal folds (uses larger vestibular folds)
    2. Subharmonics: can be utilized in a chjoir/unplugged --> normal vocal folds
    3. 2nd Subharmonics: difference from 2 uses other intervals (not sure how to achieve that?)
    both an sound similar than true bass low notes if shaped correctly
    4. Throat bass: for Beatboxers, not normal singing --> regular vocal folds + false folds (regular + growl)
    5. Inhale singing: can be used off mic in choral/accustic --> normal vocal folds
    6. Lip Buzz: boatbox -> no voice
    7. LipBuzz subharmonic: what the heck? :D --> to complicated and not aplicable for me
    So concluding for me only the subharmonic bass singing is really interesting. I already tried it out and could use it pretty quickly, but at the moment, I'm having a hard time with different vocal shapes and also with connecting it to my chest voice.

    3:05 pedal tones aren’t exactly the same thing. It is literally just one fundamental. If you want to play a Bb1 on a trombone then you just play it. There’s no other technique to it such as playing a fifth above, unless you use multiphonics and play a Bb2 and sing an F2, then it will create the pedal Bb1 underneath, which is essentially what you described in lip buzz subharmonics. This can be done on all brass instruments too

    Great tutorial! Being a tenor, I'm sure if I have a subharmonic register, I can't access it yet. I'll just have to keep on truckin'. Hey, if you like lip buzzing, you would probably be interested in inward lip rolls. It's like lip buzzing but breathing inward to create the vibration. It was a viral sound in the beatbox community a few years ago, but is still really popular. If you want a good example, look up NaPoM the beatboxer. You won't be disappointed. I get lower notes with lip rolls than I can with outward lip buzzing, to be honest. Please keep doing these! Big up! Esh

One thing I want to add though is vocal folds + false cords can also result in vocal bass which is less rough than throat bass. U can check Beatboxer Wunknown for the tutorial and application. Beatboxer Pwad utilizes this technique to sing higher pitch, which is also cool sounding.

    Thank you for the interesting video. A simple question: I am able to sing G0 (this is about 50Hz or 2.5 octaves bellow the middle C) and I wonder is it real singing or some trick. But I am able to make a slow and smooth transition from that note to any other note up to middle C, back and forth. So does that mean that I sing this note naturally, without unconscious use of any tricks? Because it seems to me that all techniques that you showed in this video have this limitation: you cannot slow and smoothly transition from those ultra low notes into regular singing. Am I correct?
