      99% of the time I agree. It gives a more full and complete sound. That being said, having 2 mono harmonies panned 15 L and R can sound cool too, as you preserve the character of the individual performances a bit more. Early Beatles recordings are a great example of that!

      A microphone works by converting sound waves into an electrical current, which can then be amplified:

      Sound waves hit the diaphragm: When sound waves hit the diaphragm inside the microphone capsule, it vibrates.

      The coil moves: The vibration causes a moving coil to move back and forth in a magnet's field, which generates an electrical current.

      The current is amplified: The small electrical charge is amp..singing WTF. THAT MIC COST $$$$$$$$shitlods..la la la

  • @messibeaucoup
    @messibeaucoup หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I get confused with vocal harmonies because I tend to perceive the highest notes as the main melody. So in your first example when you add a third as a harmony it stands out to me above the main melody and I perceive the melody of that harmony such dominant that it seems to be the main melody.
    Thanks for the video, both your editing and your musical quality are incredible!

    • @songsbyspencer
      @songsbyspencer  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I appreciate the kind words! You raise an interesting point. If there are two melodies consistently going at once, which one is the main and which one is the harmony? Simon and Garfunkel is a prime example. Most people would say the high is the harmony but if that's the one you hum when you hum the song, then that's the main melody to you!

    • @ashleyeatsmuffins
      @ashleyeatsmuffins หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      (Sorry I've jumped in to reply to this comment when the video has only just started... hopefully not just repeating some stuff that was already said 😆)
      As I've deliberately tried hearing and singing along to backing vocalist harmonies, I have found that - because of this intention - it then starts to feel like the main melody to me.
      Though there is truth to the high note grabbing our attention the most - there's also sometimes arguably an "objective" main melody: decided to us by the mixing.
      If a band or artist just has one vocalist, then the extra harmonies that are lower in the mix are perhaps "objectively" not the main melody. (counterargument: if 2 melodies have equal footing, as with counterpoint melodies. This is rare with rock bands, and one thing that I like about System of a Down, though they may not to be many people's taste, for multiple reasons😅).
      Also, if a band has a lead singer and then the other band members do harmonies, then arguably the person singing the lead vocals would have the main melody.
      I've found finding live versions of songs can help pick out the harmonies better, as they can be mixed quite differently to meticulous studio versions where only the lead singer with overdubs is present! (primarily thinking of Everything Everything and their songs 'Can't Do' and 'Distant Past', if looking for examples)

    This has the workings of being a great video, but if you’re trying to teach people how these harmonies work, I think it would be easier if you had use the same melody throughout. I also think that using the simple harmonies at the beginning would make it easier to understand for exampleafter the third harmony show the Fifth Harmony and then show the third and Fifth Harmony below otherwise this is a fantastic video.

      being able to harmonize on the fly is a different skill altogether, that takes great ear training.
      I think this video is mainly talking about different kinds of harmonies you can utilize in your songwriting. If you have the melody, you should be able to work out what the thirds are and if you struggle, a reference track made with an instrument or your own voice pitch shifted up a third would help you get there
