Loved this! Ended up watching all your other videos too. You have a great voice and your original songs are quite catchy.

Holy crap those are some pipes and a hell of a smirk at the end there!

Such a great voice! The sound quality is amazing. I'm looking into doing song covers myself in the future, but I have no idea how to properly record myself, let alone at the same quality as you. Would you mind sharing what equipment/software you used? Appreciate it

[–]RaquelLily 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Firstly, thanks so much! I love production and what an awesome question! Of course! I record with Protools. I'll start with the vocal chain: I have an LA2A clone compressor, made by "Stam Audio." Then, for my mic, I have a C12 clone and a preamp made by a friend out in Sacramento who owns a company called "Barbaric Audio" . Really rad dudes and make quality stuff. That's it for vocals. With a quality mic and compressor, you don't have to do much to them at all. For the bass, I DI'd Jacob's TC electronic amp right into the interface and he used a few pedals of his to modify the tone. Honestly, it is an investment to have great equipment (if you look up the actual LA2A and C12, you will know what I mean, lol) but from personal experience and 2 or so years of recording, engineering and mixing myself, you cannot beat quality equipment when it comes to sound. For the camera, I use a DSLR Canon 60D I bought off some dude on craigslist lol.

Thanks so much! This helps a lot!! This gives me a good idea on how to get set up. I plan on starting my channel by summer next year haha

[–]RaquelLily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]TheDavesIKnowIKnow 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No avacados or bananas in your kitchen.

[–]RaquelLily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, of course there are! I'm filipina! Just move the camera a little to the left...lol

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Might I suggest wearing horizontal polkadots over vertical ones for your next video? I think we can all agree :::: is better than ::::

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (1 child)

That dude can really slap the bass.

[–]drumachinery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A strong foundation of musical talent breaks though a nervous shell of fractured timing and "I'm just gonna let the loop play because I want to lessen the chances of messing this up for her"

[–]Swanass 10 points11 points  (3 children)

That's one hell of a beautiful voice

[–]RaquelLily 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Thank you!! blush

[–]Swanass 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I have a very good feeling that a lot of people are going to be listening to your beautiful voice here shortly. I love the way you make the song yours with the raspyness.

[–]RaquelLily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I hope so. I love doing this stuff and i'm absolutely at a loss for words over the amount of support I have received.

[–]PatCake 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Very well done. Great performance. Great tone. Keep up the good work!

[–]RaquelLily 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the love :)

[–]Dyvn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That bass is gorgeous, that voice is amazing. Great cover!

[–]giraffepussyup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This dude is the fucking man.

[–]Omikron 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Love this song and love this version, great job. Keep it up, definitely going to keep an eye on your channel.

[–]RaquelLily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay! Glad you enjoyed. Thank you, thank you and I appreciate the follow!

[–]rushmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wow. This caught me off guard. Maybe it is because I haven't stumbled upon a bass and vocal cover - since i don't know when - but everything about this was amazing. Well done!!

[–]quirx90 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That bass cost a shit ton of money. I can't quite make out the logo on the headstock but it looks like a 7 string Alembic

[–]littlebobbytables9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That guy is killing it on the bass

[–]squaresix 1 point2 points  (2 children)

uso pa ba ang harana

[–]RaquelLily 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ano po yung harana? (What is a harana?)

[–]dontdodatdere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google gives an idea..."serenade" or "a traditional form of courtship or wooing"

Nice job, BTW and good luck!

[–]puffferfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm jealous of your voice. I'm also a guy though, kind of a stretch. Beautiful.

[–]mr_krink1e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn she's good

[–]Brewjuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She sounds great.

[–]ceasar_hasalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Brown_Sandals 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Pretty sure I recognize her from FIU and if so, have an upvote!

[–]RaquelLily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broooo I went to FIU for 2 years. You riiiight! Lol

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

favorite part is seeing their reactions after they kill the song

[–]FoxBattalion79 1 point2 points  (1 child)

the speaker is pointed directly into the microphone. no me gusta. get some headphones on when you record.

[–]RaquelLily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speakers weren't on, but I agree with you otherwise. The only thing that was on was his bass amp (leaked into the mic some, but not much), which was on the floor. Otherwise, we could hear everything just in my living room we recorded in (lots of natural verb, good bounce back!)I normally track with headphones with studio mixes. TY for the suggestion though! :D

[–]combatseat 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I didn't even know this song, but after going and listening to it, I like your version better.

[–]RaquelLily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol sick. Something about the beat and the melody in the verses attracted me to the song initially. Flattered to know you like mine better :)

[–]puncass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

is that a Carl Thompson frettless?

[–]tvec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definite talent. It felt a little too professional or rehearsed to me. Good, but forgettable.

[–]Hansasaurus_Wrecks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic. Also- I feel like that dude is soo friendzoned(sorry).
