"Helplessly Hoping" Cover and Harmony Demo

[@beatlessteve1010]

Me and 2 other fellows did this harmony in rehab....

[@SunAndMirror]

I love how its one simple guitar, one simple mic. Seems like very little/ no fx? Just quality vocal performance, (quality written music too) all not super flashyinyourface, but shines so bright because all the parts FITS nicely with each other. Shows how much good performance can go to minimize the labor required in editing process Thx for all your vids, great performance, great teacher!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@michele37276]

congratulations, you cannot imagine how i was waiting someone who broke down these wonderful vocal harmonies; really appreciated ! Bravo Ciao

Thank you Michele! I'm so glad I was able to help!

YW. Glad you liked it!

[@ancroenen]

Beautiful rendition! I was wondering whether you would be happy to post each part separately on KZbin as well? I find it hard to pick out the middle voice. Advice on where to find the parts in a score is also much appreciated, although just having the audio would do the trick! Many thanks for a great video!

[@BBQ1953]

Nice study in the harmony parts Crosby, Stills, & Nash used for this great tune.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks!

Great playing. Great vocals

I came here to learn this song after hearing it on The Voice and I have to say that you have the best cover on here you did an amazing job four of you by the way my name is Ken also and now you have inspired me to perform it on my channel later on today God bless you my friend from one artist to another you are the ultimate artist🙏🏼🌞🏆

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Ken! I'm so glad you liked it. Best of luck with your performance!

Just read your article on Home Brew Audio and came here. Was not expecting this! Absolutely remarkable; first comment on a youtube music video just to tell you that this is great!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Well this is a delayed reply :-P. Sorry about that. But thanks!

[@abradenk]

awesome good work!!

[@d.brentharsh184]

Glad I could hear it all together - I'd found the link and video on home brew audio forum, but it's no longer playing there so I searched your name and the title here on youtube and bingo... nicely done and so helpful for isolated learning!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks! And can you clarify what the issue was when you said "it's no longer playing there." I found the video on the HBA website on 4 different pages. If there is a broken link, I'd love to correct that.

[@d.brentharsh184]

@@HomebrewAudioRecording (also, just now digging around a bit more on your site, your newer videos (Wasted on the Way) seem to use the embedded KZbin player and they play fine for me, but this link I show in the comment above is an orange player, definitely not YT. Hope that helps! Really great stuff!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

@@d.brentharsh184 Thanks. Yes, that one is Wistia. So that didn't work for you?

I never really watched the voice but they sang it on this show tonight and then I was looking for other people who did covers of it and here I am you did a great job that is amazing and I love so many songs by Crosby stills Nash & Young. Your performance and your guitar and your Harmony was all very exceptional!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks!

[@MichelleEaton]

Wonderful thank you, I love your site and am just getting my equipment set up, I am mainly using audio for business and video tutorials and webinars, but I look forward to recording vocals for musical recordings like this when I have time, it sounds awesome!

[@klrox92]

That was amazing! I've always wanted to cover this song but I has no idea how to go about doing it. Thanks for the cover and the info on audacity and homebrew

Finding this in late 2018 but can I just say thanks so much for the time and effort you dedicated to making this and separating the harmonys (which was what I came across first). That'll save our harmony group a lot of time. 😀 Hello from the west coast of Ireland.

[@allenlogue4765]

Well done Ken. Even though you originally posted this video almost 6 years ago, it's still worthy of heartfelt kudos. You are one very talented guy. Thank G-d for your Home Brew Audio postings, or I wouldn't have stumbled across this recording.

[@geraldhartley]

Hi Ken. Just made my way over here from your comment on our Hartley Brother's version of this song. You really nailed this and it was fun to hear you do all the parts yourself! You're gifted, sir!

LOL. Thanks! I "could" do "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" but that would be right after the earlier request for "Wasted On The Way." Sigh. This was to be a demo of how you could sing harmony with yourself and record it on your computer, but it's turned into something else hasn't it? Anyway, if/when I get around to doing those songs I'll let you know:). Thanks again.

Hello I remember watching this song voice by voice and noticed the videos are no longer available.... would it be possible for you to re-upload them for a short period of time? best regards, Eduardo

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Hi Eduardo. I didn't do videos showing separate parts, but I did put up the audios individually on the Home Brew Audio site here: www.homebrewaudio.com/individual-parts-for-helplessly-hoping/ I hope that is what you are looking for!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

You're welcome. And thanks!

[@kendallclark3720]

Really nice work Ken, thank you. Have you done any Eagles or Grateful Dead vocal parts? I'm particularly interested in Already Gone and Uncle John's Band.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks. An no I haven't. Though I love the Eagles. Not as much of a Dead fan. I've been "planning" to do others and just haven't had the time. But I will - eventually :-P.

[@Brizy04]

You did an amazing job honestly n can I please ask what app you download to make the colleges?

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks! The video was made with Vegas Pro software. I just used the panning and cropping tool on 4 different stacked video tracks. Hope that helps.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks Joel! I'd like to do Suite. If I do another one, it'll be that. I've also got requests for "Wasted on the Way" and "Southern Cross." Sigh. I'll be turning into a CSN tribute band of one if I'm not careful. Hard to swing a live performance though:).

[@mgiangreco22]

Great job. Any way you could send me the individual vocal tracks?

[@cmiechsings]

Would you consider doing another CSN cover? Say Guinnevere with a Harmony Demo?

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Chet Miechkowski I would like to, but it might be awhile. Thanks for the suggestion of which song to do though! It works better (for a harmony demo) to have a song that is harmony all the way (or at least most of the way) through.
