Nik-j Band!

A Few months ago this Canadian girl kinda latched onto me :P and I ain't been able to get rid of her since :lol: (thankfully ;) )
We got chatting one day about music, I sent her a couple of my guitar playing videos :)
Told me that she used to be in a band as vocals, so I asked her if she would sing for me :)
She said she would like to sing Patience by Guns 'n' Roses but only if I played the guitar part.
So I sat down and learnt it, she sent me her file and I mixed the 2 together, unfortunatly my soundcard was shite
and the recording was very poor quality :(
Well now I've sorted my probs out I have re recroded my part and remixed it :)

Patience / Nik-J Band B)

A while later my forum (link in sig...hehe shamless plug :lol: ) started a karaoke challenge
Nikki asked me to duet her (for some reason) , she chose "Pictures"
by Kid Rock & Sheryl Crowe. She sent her file, I masacred my part :lol:
and mixed it....

Pictures / Nik-J Band B)

Next I asked her to sing another song for me to play guitar to, she asked what, I asked for "In These Arms Tonight"
by Bon Jovi, she agreed :D
This is new, she has'nt even heard it yet :D
Unfortunatly I don't have a backing track for this song so I played my part to the original track
(video proof of this can be found at My Website!
I extracted the audio file from that video and mixed it to Nikki's voice :)

In these Arms / Nik-J Band B)

Hopefully there will be more to come very soon B)

I hope you all enjoy and can be construtive with your comments :)

Thankyou Nikki for supplying such a fantastic voice for me to pair with :)

Stay cool B)

Jonno B)

Edit: typo....bugger lol

oh thats hot B) :clap: :clap: :clap:

Like the guitar work in the first. Dont know about the voice, sounds as if something is wrong with the recording.

Again like instrumental, voice slightly off tune. Sorry.

Hit everything right with the last one. B)

Well done Dude & Dudess. :rolleyes:

Hey i do a bad ass slipknot B)

ARRGGHHH ARGGHH!!!!!!

That was probably my crappy ass microphone - it was a bad recording - I should probably redo that now with my new mic.

@ Jonno - In These Arms sounds great, or rather you sound great... I still think I sound awful on that song.

@Nox.....Thanks :)

@Bob......Nikki is right, the file she sent me had a fair bit of hiss, I had to take the hiss down and therefore resulting in a tunneling effect :(

@Nikki......You gonna do it again??.......:D
And sweetness, I'm telling you like I said before, you sound awesome on In These Arms, hit every note B)

Heh, 76 views, 3 replies :rolleyes: :lol:

Jonno, if you have Nero Wave Editor (comes with v5), it has a very good sound reduction function. Might be worth a try.

No don't have it Lamsey, I use Cool Edit Pro 2.0, it's an awesome prog but does'nt do very well at keeping quality and loosing hiss :(
I'll look into it, cheers mate :)

Jonno B)

Edit: Hang on, Comes with v5??..........v5 what? :blink:

Of Nero :rolleyes:

Nore burner you mean?........Hmmm, never could get on with that <_<

I got one on disc somewhere, can&#39;t really see it being better than cool edit considering the cost but I&#39;ll have a butchers :)

Jonno B)

:clap: Yeah more songs, downloading all. Very good :D

The noise reduction facility in Nero analyses a section of noise and intelligently removes that pattern from the whole track - works very well in my experience. Not sure if the CoolEditPro noise reduction tool works similarly, but it&#39;s worth a shot.

Yeah I&#39;ll definitely have a look :)

Cool edit has many noise reduction tools,
Hiss reduction has a very wide spanse, then there&#39;s click and pop, scratch remover and many others but when you have mic hiss and echo it&#39;s hard to remove and keep the quality.

Cheers tho dude :)

Jonno B)

Wouldn&#39;t it just be easier for me to re-record it? :blink:

/me knows nothing of editing sound files...

:lol: YESSSSSSSS&#33;&#33;&#33; :lol:

Hang on......you mean there&#39;s something I know more aboat than you? :blink:
Holy shit, me gets Champagne :D :lol:
