There's a color code for some of these notes to signify which are full voice (modal), falsetto or non-modal, which are spoken instead of sung, etc. I'll post that later. Off to bed now.
Yeah, there's a lot of argument over it in circles where people obsess over vocals. It was decided to count spoken word notes as long as they weren't 'fry' because some singers just tend to not showcase their lower register while singing, but they speak quite low. Don't know if that makes sense.theplatypus wrote:Feels a little weird to count spoken-word.

Yes. You can probably get a gibbon to fart into a microphone and autotune it to sound like the right note.Heathen wrote:Would it really matter if you could tell it's not real?

And that would make you like it less? I guess I don't care if what I hear is made by autotuned gibbons or robots or humans, if it sounds good it sounds good.harmless wrote:Yes.

It's really important to me that a bunch of musicians I grew up to love and respect are actually playing their instruments for reals. That includes vocals. Otherwise you could argue that miming is totally awesome as long as it sounds good.Heathen wrote:And that would make you like it less?
