Oh wow hi everyone!! Thanks so much for this breakdown George 😄 The middle layer is a riff originally created by Sammy Rae which I then wrote the harmonisation around. I practised this a LOT before this tour and am singing to a click running into my ears to help with timing for anyone who is curious!

Haha true you must be a musician

@CeRz 3 ай бұрын

you didn't understand what the op meant. He or she is referring to relative pitch, it's so difficult to create the first pitch without having anything to refer to and "mimic." She is just a skilled musician who can replicate the reference pitch without any reference to the starting pitch itself, meaning, she has no instruments other than the memory.@@carlosmendozapiano

@joshpohlner8716 3 ай бұрын

@@CeRzI think they meant that the way she said "Level 1" was her using her voice to match a reference pitch from an instrument. What you're describing seems to be perfect pitch, which she may have and then she wouldn't need any external reference, but I'm under the impression she doesn't have perfect pitch because of how she introduced the first level

@ErimlRGG 3 ай бұрын

And I don't think you understood Carlo's comment. She obviously has a click on her ear and since she sang 'level 1' to tune herself, it's very likely she had a tone in her ear to tune herself too. You can also see her looking to the side to the person who is probably playing the click and probably a note so she can reference it. The precision is obviously impressive but it wasn't the first note she sang, it was the 'level 1' and she may be comparing it to a synth or whatever in her ear. She may even have a drone on her ear playing to make it even easier to be in tune @@CeRz

As somebody who records vocal harmonies frequently, the hand movement she is doing helps sooo much. With normal vocals, it’s fine. I can pitch correct 1-3 layers, no problem. If I’m doing some 70 layer harmony stack, id rather eat the first thing I grab, while blindfolded, from the union station’s lost and found bin than correct every single track. So, the hand comes out. I’m not fully sure if the movements I do are actually accurate. I would only know if I got a theremin. However, I think that placing the idea of pitch into a physical movement helps me to actually pay attention to pitch. Especially with vocals that have a lot of quick, drastic and/ or unusual pitch changes.
