(please subscribe to him, he sang this, not me, I just transcribed it and made the video, so if you're impressed at all by the singing and/or mixing, he is the one you need to be praising)
Original video (I Love Being Here With You tag): • I Love Being Here With...
Info about the "music physics lesson":
The last chord is voiced 1-1-3-5, and in the overtone series, the first three different notes to occur are 1, 3, and 5 (if the 1 is the fundamental). If just the fundamental is played without the other three in this case, those notes will still be there (in their appropriate octaves), so your brain knows what it sounds like to hear them relative to the fundamental. So, when he sings the fundamental, your brain hears the overtones, and when he sings the three on top and they lock in extremely well to the overtones of the fundamental, it sounds like there's almost nothing separating those notes from the overtones. Because of this, in a way it just sounds like one fundamental note with enhanced overtones instead of actually four notes being sung, which of course there are.

my range is barely an octave, and this guy is out here singing the entire piano
And technically more in tune than the piano too
@@amihere383 Because everything here is pitch corrected in post to a specific cent
@@TheRealUncleScar Really? That’s a cardinal sin in barbershop
@@TheRealUncleScar Nah I think it should be fairly easy to tell it isn’t pitch corrected
@@eboone Maybe not pitch corrected (I do believe it is, though), but at least bass boosted if not even octave shifted.
0:26 I *love* how the tone shifts here. Every one of his performances are filled with these tiny details, such dedication

@@sceu25 ...Since I don't want to risk getting traumatized, do you know what the video is??
@@lance001 Shitty animation about animal abuse. There’s some dude and there’s a pet that’s whining or something and he ignores it happens a second time and on the third time, he gets annoyed and starts to beat the shit out of the pet while the pet cries. In the final scene the pet has scars and blood on it and it still tries to comfort it’s owner. The owner realizes what a shitty person it is and starts to hug the pet. The message is “Unconditional Loyalty.” Animals will always love you and be loyal to you no matter what.
@@sceu25 what the actual fuck...
Barbershop
Loving this guy's transcriptions
Me too
Is this guy’s transcriptions... what you love?
@@oscargill423 I love the song, the video, the performance and the transcription. He does it all by ear, which I find incredibly impressive, and he's only 17.
damn nightcore barbershop slaps like Alvin and the Chipmunks
100 gecs
That Ab overtone at the 0:58-1:00 mark is insane.
I couldn't hear it, is it above the tenor?
@@joeplavin I'm hearing a really clear Ab5 overtone over the Ab3, Bb4, Ab4, Db5 chord at the end
Its clear at the end, but I couldnt hear it over his voice when hes singing
not sure if the delay is added in post, or if its natural
@@alcor3372 man i wish i can recognize notes
I KNEW I HEARD IT!
The second voice from the left... that is one long ass note from 0:37-1:00. God damn! Sick dude!
at about 0:50 you can hear where he had to articulate and crossfade between the notes. Still impressive to do it for half as long though.
Correction it's from 0:36 -1:00
@@omarrihani2599 he doesn’t fade notes. Here’s him doing one live for much longer. Starting the video from about 2:42 th-cam.com/video/qukygSQjQTw/w-d-xo.html
He's kind of a monster in all the best ways. This one is 35 seconds: th-cam.com/video/02YqGCqY2qo/w-d-xo.html
@@omarrihani2599 he's done notes longer than that at live performance, he can definitely do it recorded, with the freedom to do a bunch of takes
On the first time through i thought the last chord was an open fifth, and then i counted the ledger lines, rewound a bit and listened as that baritone line disappeared into thin air. Genuinely astounding, well done tim
Hearing Tim sing in the Alvin and the Chipmunks range is just pure gold.
Tim Waurick is truly my hero
No words can describe my astonishment at this man.
He looks like James Coren that's actually likeable
Oh man that 5th at the end was BEAUTIFUL
That last chord hits the ears REAL nice 🔥 that's what I love
Tim Waurick is a GOAT! 🐐 🔥
Listening to this guy sing is what I love
Great work to also include this physics lesson!
About 23 seconds. The duration of the note he held that you thought he’d stop 15 seconds ago
Dude. THANK YOU for transcribing this.
Thanks for the cool music lesson at the end.
for the stuf about the last note, if you play certain notes in tune with eachother you can actually start to hear notes that aren't being played at all.
It's him... Mr. Perfect Pitch.
this guy is just hilariously good!!!!
so in LOVE
tim is insaneee
This is absolutely beautiful! 👏👏👏👏
Did he.. hold that note for 24 seconds???
Believe it or not, that's nothing for Tim Waurick. He has a bunch of tags with 30+ second post notes. It's ridiculous.
Yeah, that's par for the course
I used to think it was the magic of editing until I saw live video after video after video after video….it’s real. And it’s crazy.
i love this type of video
When you’re your own barbershop quartet
How can someone have such a wide vocal range? 😪😪
I’ve heard that Tim actually has some sort of anomalie in his vocal folds, not sure how much that affects his ability to be a literal music magician
The last part isn't actually sung by Tim.
@@dominikschaller that much is obvious
@@dominikschaller what is this slander
dunno man i just started singing like 6 months ago and as a baritone i can hit anything between a G2 and a D6
ive been listening to ringmasters singing this!!! great job!!
such an exhilarating performance - honored to have been able to be there in person
25-second post. Faaack.
🤘😝🤘
Holy overtones!
PLEASE forgive me if I sound ignorant... it is truly coming from a place of respect, and my mind being blown! Here is the question: is there auto-tune being used? In my heart, I believe that it is NOT auto-tuned, but the harmonies are so pure and unwavering, that I just wanted to know for sure. Either way, it is really quite awesome! Cheers!
Love the casual pat on the shoulder in the blurb at the end 😂
This kind of videos sound soooo good!
The ending chord was amazing!
Lol. This guy is his own barbershop quartet.
This gave me chills
Y love you man
No, that's literally a voice. Killin tho.
Its disgustingly clean
Way to go Tim!
Perfectly
WOW
Me who doesn't know how to read sheet music: Mmmm~ yes, makes perfect sense
Bari just vanished at the end??!
The overtone sequence does _not_ match the notes on a piano or keyboard. Keyboards are tuned to even tempered scale. What Tim and other good Barbershop singers do is just intonation.
This is why Barbershop has to be a cappella. If they have to tune to most fixed-pitch instruments, it ruins the effect.
Example. On the final chord, the Lead note, singing the perfect 5ᵗʰ interval which is the 3ʳᵈ harmonic, has to be tuned to approximate 1.96% of a standard 12-tone even-tempered (12tET) semitone (also known as 1.96 “cents”) _sharper_ than the 12tET version of that same note. That’s not a difference most people can hear by itself, but it makes a noticeable difference in a chord with other notes.
The Tenor note is singing the major 3ʳᵈ interval of the chord, which is the 5ᵗʰ harmonic. Its tuning discrepancy is much larger: about 13.69¢ _flatter_ than the 12tET version! That _is_ a noticeable difference even by itself.
Do you need to know all this to sing Barbershop well? No. The harmonic sequence is natural, and if you just trust your ears and brain and voice, it‘ll get close to the right pitch so long as you *do **_not_* try to learn your part by playing it on a keyboard or MIDI file (the latter can be used if special tuning codes are embedded in the MIDI) because those are the _wrong notes!_
i say he used Melodyne for that level of perfect
wish my synth was so in tune
Outstanding! and the Mickey Mouse is wild!
so this is a budget jacob collier? eheh
Phenomenal singing and range. But I'd love to hear less pitch correction, since it sort of sucks the soul out of the sound. On the final sustain, you can hear the tonal color shift and warble, but the pitch remains perfectly on. This makes me think he's touching up each performance in post with some auto-tune. It would sound so much better with the subtle flaws of his uncorrected takes.
You can hear the pitch correction throughout.
Yeahhh,, well done :)
Box #2 Ab for just over 24 seconds.
He sounds like Weird Al. If you put some accordion over this, it would be indistinguishable.
I can reach very low but I cannot correctly stabilize anything over an A3. An F2 is easy, and I can hit as low as a B2 but there is no projection after the F. I am a musician but not a singer. I just wanna be able to sing an A4 again.
I have a question. Is this tuned to just intonation or how does it work because I refuse to believe 12-tet would cause the same resonance with overtones
It's probably tuned in post to just. You can definitely hear super unnatural vocal tendencies in there. He's definitely a great singer, considering it's hard to tell it's been pitched corrected but it definitely sounds robotic.
So fun!!!!
What software is used for these transcriptions
I notate it using sibelius
@@jasonfieler Thanks
Sounding like weird Al at the beginning!
what happened to the more specific details in the description?
I am currently working on it lol, should be up soon
thanks goat
How much autotune would have been used on this? I'm not trying to discredit him, I'm just curious how edited it is, if at all.
He has claimed in a comment section of some video I can't remember that he, if I remember correctly, doesn't pitch correct at all and just does loads and loads of takes until it's perfect, and if you've ever seen videos of his live performances with his quartet, it's not that far fetched to believe it's all natural, which I believe it is
There is zero auto tune in Tim’s music
@@jasonfieler First of all Tim is a freaking legend, amazing singer, I have nothing but respect for him. But I do hear pitch correction here, it's not huge changes, most often it's the Bass track, maybe not specifically this track, but for anyone who worked in audio production it's quite clear. Also he's been producing his own multitracks for over 10 years now, so he definitely has tons of audio editing experience under his belt as well. Slight corrections make sense since it overall enhances the end result, which it does.
@@Bober909 I agree, that makes sense, I'm just going by what was said previously, but I do agree that it's not like he uses it because he can't tune on his own, he's obviously extremely capable, it just increases the quality a bit toward the end of the editing stage
@@Bober909 amateur producer here, ex-session player. Absolutely agree that his tracks sound pitch corrected. Personally, it doesn't seem subtle and I can't stand it. It reminds me of the singing in kids shows, like Daniel Tiger. I'm sure this guy is a great singer and can tune just fine in normal contexts, intonation is extremely difficult in multitracking, especially if you're trying to nail just intonation like in barbershop. I'm kind of astonished that he would claim that he does no pitch correction whatsoever when from a listening perspective, the sound of pitch correction seems undeniably present. I always understood the channel to be really showing off his arranging chops since his singing has a lot of production gloss on top of it.
🎼
Not to nitpick too much, but you say he is singing a 1-1-3-5 chord which are the exact overtones of the bottom fundamental so it might as well be just the one bass note. That’s not quite right, since the overtone series in direct order would be 1-1-5-1-3. That is, the consecutive intervals between notes in the series go octave, fifth, fourth, M third, (and then the next would be a minor third).
You can verify this yourself in a couple ways: first if you have a tool that can generate specific frequencies, start with a fundamental frequency like 200 Hz, then get integer multiples of the fundamental to get a series that goes 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000… these are the overtones of the fundamental.
Second, you can take a guitar or violin string and measure the part of the string under tension (or build your own with a string and two pegs). Pluck the string ‘open’ (1x length) then pinch at fractional intervals to hear the overtones: 1/2x, 1/3x, 1/4x, 1/5x,…
Good point, I agree! I didn't mean that those were the overtones in order, I was just saying that 1, 3, and 5, are the first three scale tones to appear in the overtone series due to the whole number intervalic ratios which cause it, but thank you for point it out very clearly and I'll make an edit in the description to clarify :)
The second guys be like:
When you hit your finger feet: 0:37
That sounded really good. Nice editing. Sounded like reverb at the end though. That also sounded great, but, I don't know if I'm a fan of people using that when they're trying to show off their voice. It does sound like you have a nice voice though.
I'm a bit confused, you're not a fan of people using reverb? If not that's ok of course I'm just trying to figure out what you mean. Also I didn't sing this, Tim Waurick did, he's a barbershop legend and I'd recommend watching this video if you're trying to get a sense of his ability as a live vocalist and not a recorded one: (he's on the left doing all the high notes) th-cam.com/video/uU578PBfaHg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BarbershopHarmonySociety
what's wrong with reverb?
I am down to create a religion with TIM WAURICK as our lord and savior
dude can sing...he needs to dial back autotune a bit
I can hear an Ab5 even though the highest note is only an Eb5.
Overtones!!!
Saying this as a former professional musician. You are outstanding!
Insanity
Ik that this focuses more on the voice but am I the only one who immediately played a drum solo at the end similar to dum dum dum dum snare roll* crash symbol
All of your songs/ covers have the same structures
Are you familiar with barbershop music? Most of it is similar, especially the endings. Also, I don't record or write these songs, all I do is transcribe them because they're cool
Am I the only one hearing a C6 Overtone 😐
sounds lie alvin anjd the chipmunks at the end
Don't reduce the magic to science 😉
Nobody can tell if that bloke can actually sing, because it's autotuned to shreds....
I advise you to look up any live performance by the barbershop quartet Vocal Spectrum, he's the one doing all the high notes and he's an absolute legend of the genre so he can most definitely sing
@@jasonfieler I believe that immediately, but why does everyone kill their songs with a s***tload of f*****g Autotune. They all sound like Cher...
@@Vier_LeFanz I find this comment very amusing solely because of the comparison to Cher, as if she is the gold standard for a singer sounding bad lol
@@jasonfieler She had a hit in the 90s where she was autotuned to robot status. That's what I am referring to, not her actual ability to sing.
What autotune? And yes, he can actually sing.
Legend doing legendary things. Not impressed 😂
People have really got to learn the definition of the word “literally”. This is getting infuriating 😡
