Title: Beatles' isolated vocals
Post by: Normandie on April 13, 2022, 07:29:12 PM: I'm quite certain this will be met with yawns of boredome by the musicians here, but I decided to post it anyway. It's a YouTube channel with isolated vocals of Beatles songs. Given that I have no working knowledge of how to record and produce music, I found it interesting. Not earth shattering, but interesting to me nonetheless.

This link leads to AHDN, but there is a whole list of songs available.

I'm going to have to find a way to make my older daughter listen to "It's All Too Much," a song she hates for some reason, much to my dismay. The isolated vocals are going to annoy the heck out of her. So of course I'll have to find a way to arrange this. ;D

Their vocals were always a strong point of their sound but hearing them on their own really shows why. The artistry in John and Paul’s vocals really shines through. Especially Paul’s harmonies.

He has a full series of "how to sing" Beatles songs ranging from simple to complex harmony.

I couldn't agree more. :)

Interesting! He has a great voice. My own, not so much.

Now you all know how much work it took to make this song sound right.

George never had the strongest voice but he sounds terrific on here. Really delivers it. And when Paul's harmonies come in its just amazing.

Beautiful.

I love the isolated vocals to Because, too. This comment jumped out at me: "These harmonies are so perfect it makes me weep for the beauty man can create."

I was right, in a sense; I'm not sure if anyone here yawned, ha ha, but there are dozens of isolated parts of Beatles songs on YouTube. I'm actually happy of my ignorance; now I have a lot of new listening and learning to do. :)

I knew of them but hadn’t listened to them a lot. Sometimes it takes someone reminding me :)
