I think writing crunch like this is only really effective when the music is done without Melodyne. All the life of the chord is removed when you compress and tune it artificially.

Umm, how about assessing its quality based off of compositional merit? This is not vocal harmony in the traditional sense, it’s an auto tuned voice that works/feels more like a synth. We know this. Isn’t this obvious? It is its own instrument. It’d be like calling the game of whiffle ball a “bad game” on the grounds that there’s not real baseballs being used. No shit, it was designed that way.

@MrSephirothJenova Жыл бұрын

Parallel 5ths in of themselves don't really bother me. Power chord voicings basically require them. They only become an issue to me when in a vocal or string arrangement, where the sound is very pure, so they draw way more attention to themselves. They're also surprisingly difficult to sing, because it becomes hard to hear your own voice separately from the voice above you, so try not to use them for 4-part vocals especially!

@tryga3138 Жыл бұрын

Parallel fifths are fine. We're not living the 18th century and neither do people write music in that style anymore really. If you like the sound then go ham and use all the parallel everythings you want!

@@andybaldman a major second is still dissonant. the alto and soprano staves sing a held E, F#, and G# at the same time at the onset of the words "moon" and "you". The G# is also the major 7th of the A major chord being held in the bass staff. Sevenths are still considered dissonant to the western ear, as are minor/major seconds and of course the tritone. The leading tone being held in one of the top voices begs for resolution, creating a harmonic dissonance.
