Im so excited and nervous to sing my duet with lord prism but it looks like it's happening!

Anybody have any advice on how best to do it. The obvious thing seemed like a Skype call with the music playing on my end and I record the call with both of us singing along but I know like zippity zap about this stuff. Anyone have any tips?

Ooh I'm so excited you guys are doing a duet :D My advice is to record separately while each listening to the same backing track (to make it easier to synch up, make a clapping sound when the music starts or at an agreed-upon beat). You can use Audacity or GarageBand both to record and edit. Trying to record while using Skype sounds like a terrible idea. You might get very lucky and turn out perfectly synchronized, but more likely there will be a few milliseconds' delay which isn't noticeable when having a conversation but will drive you nuts while trying to sing together. But that's just my 2 cents :)

Yeah, recording separately and editing it together seems like the best route. Having a metronome and a spoken countdown to align the tracks would help.

I used to use a file that had visual countdown cues with a metronome for audio syncing purposes, but I don't have access to a PC that has it at the moment.

thanks guys! I didn't think of the lag time in skype at all. We are doing baby its cold outside and the vocals have to overlap at the right places for sure. I think maybe I'll record the lady parts first and see if I can get lordprism to record his part while listening to my prerecorded track in a headset or something. That way he could make sure he is timed with me and the music and then I'll ovelrap them. Boom

Please get your audio files in by Dec 21st. If you get them in by Dec 17 it is even better.

@Amber I have the piano track for This Land is My Land ready, I'm just going to add backing vocals and a kazoo solo or something later tonight or tomorrow so that you can sing the verses :)

Post subject:  Re: ASOIAF Christmas Filks... would you be down?

Oh shit, alright :)

So how does one record a file that can be shared? Do a call with someone who has a Skype recorder? I have a recorder on my phone :? We have a mic and a thing to plug it into that plugs into the computer, but we don't really know how it works per se... Why do we have all this equipment we don't know how to use?! :oops:

Post subject:  Re: ASOIAF Christmas Filks... would you be down?

I tried to upload my file here but apparently .mp3s are not allowed, so Amber I'll just PM you the link. For recording songs I strongly recommend Garageband, because it's free, easy to use, works with your built in mic and has a bunch of automatic settings that sound really nice :) You could also use Audacity which does pretty much the same things you just have to come up with the settings yourself. In either program just drag & drop my mp3 file, create a second track, hit record and you're good to go :) use whatever setup you have when podcasting and you'll be fine

Or you could use your mic! All that matters is that you are wearing headphones ;)

Use sound cloud or mega or whatever to put a link here, don't upload direct to the forum

Lyrics:

I'm dreaming of a White Walker
Just like the ones on HBO
As their blue eyes glisten
The book fans listen
In fear of spoilers from the show

I'm dreaming of a White Walker
With every raven that I write
May you make it through the long night
And may all your Others just be wights.

Lyrics
Spoiler: show
His name is Patchface I know oh I know
Slave from Volantis I know oh I know
Lord Steffon made him free I know oh I know
But he’d soon be under the sea, learning to breathe, tangled in weeds, traded his seed
Lone survivor I know oh I know,
Should’ve let him go


In squares of green and red I know oh I know
Belled antlers on his head I know oh I know
He hops upon his feet I know oh I know
Companion to Shireen he jingles and rings, dances and sings, foretelling things
Does he know the future can it be
Wait and see


Shown in Melisandre’s flames I know oh I know
Dangerous creature she claims I know oh I know
What is his mystery, oh what could it be
Will he change history or make Stannis smile, might take a while, that’s just not his style
He sings under the sea the shadows will dance
And no one wears hats

Spoiler: show
You know Bina and Vikram and Valkyrist and Alias,
FTWard and Inkasrain and Shellfish and Claudius,
But do you recall,
The most sexist podcast host of all?

Linecom the podcast doctor
Likes to post offensive things,
He doesn't care who's bothered,
Doesn't care who's listening.

All of the other hosts
Sit back and let him do his thang,
We all take our cues from Mimi
She's got no problem with the wang.

Then one forum thread got hot,
It all got quickly out of hand.
People started calling names,
Looking back now it was such a shame.

But Manwoody lives undaunted,
We put it all in the past.
And now we agree on one thing,
It's not linecom's fault he has no class
He can post his pics of tits and ass!

Words cannot...express....joy....feelings? This was hilarious and sounds like an real XMas song. I'm putting together a Christmas mix for my parents. Maybe I'll just throw this in to confuse them and my dad will say, "So that's what podcasting is?"

Okay it's not a Christmas song but Valkyrist wrote these lyrics and I learned the song and so this just sort of happened. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nvv8cf5xdo6euhm/This%20Land%20Is%20Your%20Land.mp3?dl=0

Lyrics by Valkyrist
Spoiler: show
This land is your land, this land is my land
From SLAVER’S BAY, well, to the LYSENI island
From the QOHOR FORESTS, to the GREAT GRASS SEA
I tell ya: This land was made for you and me

As I went walking down that ribbon of a DEMON'S ROAD
I saw above me, oh, that endless DRAGON HORDE
Now I saw below me UNCONQUERED TERRAIN
And I said: This land was made for THE VALYRIAN EXPANSION

As I was walking, now, they tried to stop me ("good luck")
They put up a sign that said, oh, it said: FUCK YOUR DRAGONS
Well, on the back side, it said: LOVE, THE RHOYNAR
So, it must be that side was made for you and me

("behold, the Valyrian Freehold")

("it's like the party that never stops")

("we pass the slavings on to you... hehehe")

One bright sunny morning, well, in the shadow of a VOLCANO
Down by the MODERN ART DECO QUADRANT, I saw my people
You know, now, they stood DROWNING IN LAVA, I stood wondering ("uh-oh")
I was wondering if this land was— [MUSIC OVERWHELMED BY THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS AND RUBBLE]

No words. Just lemoncakes. :shock:

No, seriously, that was brilliant. Thanks!

Really really phenomenal work by everybody! All of you talented musical ladies have my respect and admiration. A hearty round of applause is well earned. Throw in some comedy stylings by our podcast bard Jed, and this is shaping up to be a marvelous musical episode.

So I still have my badly recorded aca pella version of All I Want From You Qarth, so I uploaded that. Lyrics:
Spoiler: show
I don't want a lot from you Qarth
There are certain things I need
I don't care about the presents
That you keep on giving me

I just want my own boats
Really anything that floats
A prophecy or twooooooo
All I want from you Qarth
Is...
You........

I don't need a husband Xaro
Drogo was enough for me
That crown sure does look nice but
My dragons do not come for free

I don't need to plead my case
Aren't my dragons proof enough?
Xaro, you don't even like girls,
And I see right through your bluff

Khaleesi, Stormborn, bride of fire
My names are as yet a few
Mother of dragons toooooo
Give me boats and I'll leave
It's true....
True Baby

Oh I don't want to do much with them
Just invade a foreign land
Reclaim my father's birthright
Murder those who make a stand

If the spicers will not help me
Nor the guild nor the Thirteen
I will just seek out the Warlocks
I'm sure they can make me Queen

'Cause I want to go back home
To a land I've never known
Jorah wants it, toooooooo
Qarth I'll get out of your hair
Soooooon

Oh all the lights are shining
In the magic air
And the sound of whispered
Prophecies are there

And doors are opening
I hear those Undead singing
Mother of Dragons, child of three
Won't you stay and give your body to me?

Oh I don't want to stay here now Qarth
Don't worry, soon I'll be gone
Sorry 'bout your magic house
That was all Drogon

Oh all I really need is boats
Really anything that floats
A body guard or two...
On my way to Westeros
real soon


Written two years ago and sung in January 2014 - it's come a long way to see the light of day. Excuse the sound of my dogs scratching on the back door. I don't have the privacy to rerecord for quality hehe.

Then, I also recorded a newy - no lyrics required. To the tune of Carol of the Bells. :) Excuse the crapness once again, I just like to participate (story of my life).

‘TWAS NEW YEARS DAY BABE , IN KINGS LANDING
AN OLD FOOL SAID TO ME , THEY’VE KILLED ANOTHER KING

SO HAPPY NEW YEARS , THIS PURPLE WEDDING DAY
I CAN SEE A BETTER TIME NOW JOFFREY’S REIGN IS THRU

WHEN MARGE TOOK JOFF’S HAND ON A COLD NEW YEARS DAY
THE LORDS AND THE LADIES ALL CAME OUT TO PLAY
HE’S HANDSOME SHE’S PRETTY , WITH A NICE PAIR OF TITTIES
THEY WAVED TO US SMALLFOLK FROM BAELOR’S ON HIGH
THE BEAR HE WAS SWINGING AND THE BARDS THEY WERE SINGING
THEY TOASTED THE QUEEN AND THEN CALLED FOR THE PIE
THE BOYS IN THE OLDTOWN SEPTONS CHOIR WERE SINGING “SLAVERS BAY”
AND THE BELLS WERE RINGING OUT ON NEW YEARS DAY

HE’S A BUM , HE’S A TWAT , HE CUT OPEN A CAT
HE FLED FROM OLD STANNIS AND RAN FROM THE FIGHT
HE’S A SCUMBAG A MAGGOT , AND HER BROTHER’S A FAGGOT
HIS MOTHER’S A WHORE FUCKS HER BROTHER MOST NIGHTS
THE BOYS IN THE OLDTOWN SEPTONS CHOIR WERE SINGING “SLAVERS BAY”
AND THE BELLS WERE RINGING OUT ON THEIR WEDDING DAY
AND THEN HE ATE THE PIE , WHO KNEW THAT HE WOULD DIE ?
HIS FACE TURNED PURPLE AS HE GASPED HIS LAST
AND CERSEI CRADLED HIM
AND SHE ACCUSED THE IMP
CRIED AS HER BOY WENT LIMP
SHE’D BUILT HER DREAMS AROUND HIM
THE BOYS IN THE OLDTOWN SEPTONS CHOIR WERE SINGING “SLAVERS BAY”
AND THE BELLS WERE RINGING OUT WHEN HE PASSED AWAY

THE COAL BURNS WHITE ON THE PYRE TONIGHT ,

COULDN’T NOT GO IN, EVEN IF I FRIED
I MUST WALK IN AND LET THEM SEE ,
