hearing yourself
Hey all, I recorded a jam from the other day. I have recorded myself with other in the past but have never gotten used to hearing my self, the mandolin I am used to, but me, no. There are times that in the heat of the moment I feel there are some great harmonies but when I listen back I hear inadequacies(sp?). Maybe it's just a more careful listen, looking for errors or how to improve for next time. Whether or not I did my job properly vocally rarely does it sound like me. So here goes a more direct approach Do you ever get used to hearing your own voice on recordings?

Re: hearing yourself
Over many years of hearing my recorded voice, I am resigned to sounding must wimpier that I wish I did. I want to sounds liek Ray Charles or Junior Brown and I sound like, well, not at all like them... But we play the cards we are dealt. We can improve our voices if we work at it, but I don't. It's hard enough for me to remember the words. So I remain the Ringo: of whatever band I'm in, singing the comedy songs and backup, and mainly keeping my mouth shut!

Re: hearing yourself
Chef, Yes, you will eventually get used to hearing your own voice/mando. That's not to say you'll be okay with it... just used to it :) I would (and do) opine that one absolutely must listen to oneself play and sing regularly in order to improve. Doing so is quite the ear opener to be sure and is oftentimes painful, yes... I record all of my shows and as the saying goes, the truth hurts... I'm still waiting for the set me free part I can think of a few folks whom I wish I could FORCE to listen to themselves play ;) Brian On Dec 2, 10:10 am, Mando Chef saltydogli...@gmail.com wrote: Hey all, I recorded a jam from the other day.

Re: hearing yourself
On that same note, I've recorded a few fiddlers' contests and judging them real time is usually different than judging them from the recording. The mind's a funny thing.

Horrible experience yesterday singing the harmony part to 'another night'. I thought I sounded mountain, but in fact it was the yowling of a pained soul. Likewise the mandolin.

Re: hearing yourself
Chef, I will concur with a few of these lads and say that you will probably not gain a fondness for the sound of your voice/playing coming back at you, but you will eventually get used to what you sound like. Hartford used to record everything he did and listen to it later. Mark O'Connor used to practice with a tape recorder too. It's just that you can't really get a good idea of what you really sound like behind the box until you hear what you sound like in front of it. Like Steve says, you will have a mix of attaboys and wincing. It's all good. And as Robin said, you absolutely can't argue with a recording. So use it to your advantage. It will point out technique flaws, timing flaws, pitch flaws(singing), tone goobers, etc. Be brave, grasshopper.

Re: hearing yourself
I can't sing. Not a lick and I've tried. I just can't tune my voice. I've played the fiddle, I can hear when my mando or guitar is out of tune but I can't sing. I have however been recording video myself on the Macbook playing my various instruments. Some of them make it to YouTube and some don't. I've always thought I had a pretty good sense of timing.until I watched some of these videos. It was eye opening. I do pretty good in a jam/band setting but playing by myself my timing needs some work. Like Don said in another thread, That metronome can't keep time worth a damn!

Re: hearing yourself
Just recently I took a risk and sang 'cluck old hen' with band backup at a local open mic night. Someone recorded it so I got to hear it. I can say, my voice quality is living room average. It was nice to know I can sing in time and tune, I did remember all the lyrics, its a tongue twister to sing, but that went ok too. I thought my voice quality was ...fair at best but what really got me was the accent...that old Michigan twang just can't be beat out of a person..I suppose. So then ..a spate of voice lessons...to find what what I might could do about it. Did get a couple of worthwhile tips, fact is the voice is like another instrument me thinks. Still it was fun. I really liked being alone at the mic, feeling the warmth of the audience, the feeling of doing it. I figure some folks always sound better in a harmony part thing rather than a solo. One thing I really don't like, no matter the sound of the voice...is ..if the words being sung can't be heard clearly...making a mush sound...that to me seems the worst thing, why bother to sing if nobody can understand what the story is?? I suppose there are exceptions to that too.. My voice is very average and unremarkable. I thought it was better than it is and that it was distinctive - wrong. So now I know. I like to listen to distinctive voices that hang around in the auditory memory... linda On Dec 3, 12:15 pm, sgarrity shaungarr...@hotmail.com wrote: I can't sing. Not a lick and I've tried.

The two prototypes have compound radiused fingerboards, I believe beginning at a 12 radius and ending with 18 which seems a lot more flat at the bridge, but still I'm not used to that feel, so I've asked for a flat board. I believe Randy has used a very thin lacquer for the finish. The two prototypes are for sale at $5K, one a pumpkin top and the other sunburst. The sunburst neck is larger than the pumpkin. Randy says that each is offered with a money-back, no-questions- asked guarantee. I will be putting pics up of the two before long. For all you folks who are in need of one of these, keep your eyes peeled. I am looking forward to getting ahold of one of the finished models and trying it out. It will sure make my life easier in the coming months, what with the EC sessions and tour.

This system allows for playing the mandolin and using the natural dynamics of the box. The two prototypes have compound radiused fingerboards, I believe beginning at a 12 radius and ending with 18 which seems a lot more flat at the bridge, but still I'm not used to that feel, so I've asked for a flat board. I believe Randy has used a very thin lacquer for the finish. The two prototypes are for sale at $5K, one a pumpkin top and the other sunburst. The sunburst neck is larger than the pumpkin. Randy says that each is offered with a money-back, no-questions- asked guarantee. I will be putting pics up of the two before long. For all you folks who are in need of one of these, keep your eyes peeled. I am looking forward to getting ahold of one of the finished models and trying it out. It will sure make my life easier in the coming months, what with the EC sessions and tour. I think Randy said that we will be looking at a $6K pricetag, so that is well within the realm of possibility for folks wanting a top-notch acoustic/electric.

Re: New R.Wood mandos
Believe me Tate, I searched the whole world over, I slept out in the clover and I still can't find that perfect chip! But seriously that is a nice mandolin - one day I'll be in the market for a tool like that! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: hearing yourself
I really enjoy hearing myself and I try to carry around a cassette recorder at festivals and parties. It is painful to hear those things that you wish never existed, but it is also a good way to catch them and learn from them, i.e. ignore the temptation next time. I also sometimes finding myself listening repeatedly to something that i was involved in which always makes the soul feel good. What is really nice is to hear that NOBODY likes the way their own voice sounds speaking. If we recognize that maybe some of the restricting feelings that come when we think about our own playing are universal and even the greats have to fight them maybe we can learn to be confident!

That's not to say you'll be okay with it... just used to it :) I would (and do) opine that one absolutely must listen to oneself play and sing regularly in order to improve. Doing so is quite the ear opener to be sure and is oftentimes painful, yes... I record all of my shows and as the saying goes, the truth hurts... I'm still waiting for the set me free part I can think of a few folks whom I wish I could FORCE to listen to themselves play ;) Brian On Dec 2, 10:10 am, Mando Chef saltydogli...@gmail.com wrote: Hey all, I recorded a jam from the other day. I have recorded myself with other in the past but have never gotten used to hearing my self, the mandolin I am used to, but me, no. There are times that in the heat of the moment I feel there are some great harmonies but when I listen back I hear inadequacies(sp?). Maybe it's just a more careful listen, looking for errors or how to improve for next time. Whether or not I did my job properly vocally rarely does it sound like me. So here goes a more direct approach Do you ever get used to hearing your own voice on recordings?
