👏thanks so much for sharing these wonderful songs, buddy. You have an amazing talent with the piano! I loved the first 2 pieces where you sang along with the piano. I think adding an instrument enhances the performance (I once had someone play the guitar along with the track I was singing to and it totally transformed it). You should definitely try to incorporate that whenever you can.
there was also a lot of clarity in your recordings. Did you use some software/ mixer there? I generally don't like the boomy settings at my karaoke session but they are trying to cater to different singers...
I also loved the piano pieces at the end. Munbaa Va especially was really beautiful. Is there an english translation of the lyrics?
again, many thanks... and wonderful singing and piano playing!👏
Thanks Birdie, yeh singing along with music definitely helps and also helps mask when you slip every now again, singing without music feels like you're naked. 😆 I used reverb and eqs for the first 2 recordings, even just adding a reverb would enhance the voice, but for the rest of the tracks I added no effects.
For the karaoke sessions, I just add a bit of reverb that's it.
Thanks, I used to play a lot, but then life happens, you get busy, so I haven't played the piano in some years, but looking to get back in to it again.
I'm not Tamil myself, but I found this youtube video with English translations. Rahman used to give such great melodies.
