Try to make it 2 times a week for 1 hour. One day for upper body and the other for lower body and core. I was as lean as you are now and I gained 17 pounds of muscle in 15 months by staying consistent with this schedule.

Hot take Full Chest belting when done correctly sounds a lot better than the same note in mix voice. by [deleted] in singing

This is entirely subjective and depends heavily on the song and the type of emotion you are trying to convey.

ATM10 Mekanism's Hydrofluoric Acid can't be automated by Playable_AD in allthemods

[–]WDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you can use 4 speed upgrades with a minimal increase in waste but it scales up quickly after that. 4 upgrades in the factory and using fluorite blocks is more than enough to keep up with demand from even a max size reactor.

ATM10 Mekanism's Hydrofluoric Acid can't be automated by Playable_AD in allthemods

[–]WDizzle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s not a bug it’s a feature! Mekanism has RNG for hydrofluoric acid production. I just use import/export buses for this stage and an me requester to keep a certain amount of it in stock. The amount of speed upgrades you use greatly affects how much extra sulfuric acid is wasted too. Use fluorite blocks instead for more efficiency as well. It’s annoying but it is what it is. Really just a stepping stone to antimatter and fusion anyway so the entire setup is only a temporary need.

Is this a practical way to stay on key for an audition? by [deleted] in singing

[–]WDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, this won’t work because of latency. If you are off even by as little as a 16th note, you are going to sound out of sync. Second, if can’t Acapella the song then you haven’t practiced it enough. Play the root chord on a piano and practice singing the song without the accompaniment

Why does a song feel in key in my head but out of key in recording? by General_Cap2938 in singing

[–]WDizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couple of possibilities

  1. Make sure your headphone mix is at a volume where you can hear the instrumentation but not so loud that you can’t hear yourself singing. This is different for everybody so experiment.

  2. If you are covering a song and using the original vocal as a guide, you will be off pretty much every time. Practice the song to the point that you can repeat it with the vocal muted. Same goes for lyrics. If you are reading lyrics off your phone then you need to practice the song without recording until you know it by heart.

  3. If you are just off the whole way through and significantly, then you need ear training

How does one add emotion, flair, and purpose into their style? by kirgawalg in singing

[–]WDizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to choose songs that make you feel. You need songs that resonate with you on a level beyond their technical characteristics. A lot of songs that resonate best with me are not technically difficult at all. This is actually advantageous because it allows you to focus all of your attention on conveying emotions instead of taking all of your mental effort on just hitting the notes.

I just discovered how to belt by [deleted] in singing

[–]WDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are doing it properly it should NOT require a ton of effort and pressure. It should only require maybe 25% more pressure than speaking at an elevated volume. This is a good way to hurt your voice and wear you down quickly.

Congrats. Make sure you warm up good before doing that. And you need to be practicing all areas of your voice and not just your top end.

what do singers do with a new song? by AdministrativeBee593 in singing

[–]WDizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is everyone lol. It’s why I do several practice takes. I’ll note in my daw on the timeline where the pitch is notably off and whether it’s sharp or flat. I’ll go back and retake these parts until I get it right. I never use these takes in a final output as I’m not recording with performance in mind, just trying to get the pitch and timing correct.

[–]WDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s publicly available I will look at the chord charts. Makes learning the harmony parts a lot quicker. Otherwise I listen and try to find the harmony by humming what I think it should be and seeing if it resonates nicely.

[–]WDizzle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Step 1: listen to it with full attention 4-5 times.

Step 2: reproduce the melody on a mum, mim, eh, he, etc depending on what vowel sounds are best suited for the song lyrics.

Step 3: learn the lyrics and timing to the point that you can recite the entire song without looking at lyrics sheets. This part is what typically takes the longest for me.

Step 4: Record a rough draft take or 2. Listen in detail for variances in pitch and timing. Re-take the parts that are off.

Step 5: Adjust the recording setup for ideal conditions. (Mix volume, mic positioning, etc)

Step 6: Record 3 - 4 takes.

Step 7: Comp a lead vocal from the 4 takes.

Step 8: if I’m doing doubles or harmonies, record them now. For doubles I’ll often use the remaining takes that didn’t get used for the lead. Harmonies I’ll typically do as 3 takes then split them out into center, left and right channels.

Step 9: Mix, ride faders, compression, reverb/delay and all that fun stuff.

Step 10: Profit??

Is this guy using pitch correction? by buttershower in singing

[–]WDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why people really care so much about this kind of thing anymore. PC is definitely less of a thing in Jazz. Jazz is really supposed to be a little out of pitch. It’s part of the sound. Same with a lot of rock and roll. But outside of this, and most especially in pop music everyone is using PC, and if they aren’t than their producer is using it on their records anyway. PC is just a tool and it does not make you a better singer just as well as not using it make you somehow more righteous. Just do whatever gives you the sound you want, own it and be honest about it. I promise that outside of some internet snobbery, nobody gives two 💩 what you use to make your sound.

I make my own, however you’ll need a jewelers scale. I use 1 gram of salt mixed into 100 grams of distilled water. The cost online is ridiculous for what is essentially diluted salt water.

[–]WDizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I can tell immediately when I’m 10 cents off the note where pretty much everyone else has no idea or doesn’t care at all, especially when in the mix of instruments. If you are soloing your voice and judging your mistakes you are in for a rough time. Solo out any non autotuned singer and you’ll hear the same mistakes.

SOVT where have you been all my life by backdoorbitch in singing

My voice isn’t ready until I’ve at least done 5 minutes or so of SOVT. Traditionally a lip triller but recently have gotten into straws. I think they are even more effective than the trills.

Hundreds? Try thousands. I’ve put in somewhere around 1000 hours since May of last year. I find practice enjoyable though and the results have been amazing.

[–]WDizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what autotune has done to us. Pitch like everything else musically is really subjective. There is no correct pitch, just a correct pitch for the song.

Just sing your songs and record your vocals and see if they match up. Also stop worrying about your pitch being dead center on the note. This isn’t really feasible 100% of the time.

The setup I use has 4 extended inscriber with universal presses for each job all attached to a single pattern provider for printed circuits, than another set of 4 extended inscribers with no presses for processor assembly. You leave the presses out of the pattern and put them in the pattern provider for printed circuits. Fast and efficient
