Low notes compilation:Chest-fry vs Subharmonic's (Bb1-Eb1)

[@freddiestudio7668]

Thanks bro watching ! As always feedbacks are always appreciated! Enjoy Also sorry for the editing mistake,so there will be no part 2

[@maloxi1472]

Thou is truly an OG at subharmonic singing and it shows ! The guy developed so much agility within, in and out of the register that it's become a clean extension of his chest register. Truly an inspiration for those learning extended techniques !

[@freddiestudio7668]

Nicely said !

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

So essentially these two things are very very similar, the difference is the the presence of the upper chest note in the subharmonic. So if the low note is gritty and wide sounding it’s chest fry, if it’s strangely controlled and sounds robotic it’s subharmonics. I sing both and I’m trying to figure out the difference

[@freddiestudio7668]

Welll,its pretty easy to know the difference,subharmonic has to learned inorder to control it while chest-fry is always there in your register

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

@@freddiestudio7668 as I have been strengthening and learning subharmonics I have noticed you essentially have to provide more diaphragm pressure into your chest fry to get the two octaves to pop

[@jamesparson2476]

Sometimes when I try singing a D2 with fry onset I can't immediately tell whether I hit a chest-fry or a subharmonic.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

I am a bass and have never gotten the hang of subharmonics. I am clean in chest voice to A1 and can fry to E1.... which on-mic and with EQ'ing is fine. Off-mic, my chest voice is more like B1-A4.

[@rufuz_z]

try to take a fry note and slide up to your normal speaking range. or slide from your falsetto to your chest voice. that can help with finding your subharmonics! :)

[@johndeeregreen4592]

That was really cool! It’s a nice Idea to compare subharmonics to chest-fry notes. And you executed that idea very well!

[@freddiestudio7668]

Thank you bro ! Was thinking of putting out a part 2 of this,but it will be to short so 🤷🏼🤷🏼

[@GamingDrummer89]

Love this, and I'm glad you included the subharmonics OG (and one of the most underrated Gospel basses), Ken Turner! I will say, though, I'm not sure about Eric Bennett's stuff below Ab1 or so...it seems like it's totally fry to me (not to say he's not a great singer regardless, though). Same with Jeff Pearles' Eb1. All in all though nice job showcasing the difference between these two techniques! Usually my rule of thumb is that Chest-fry is going to have more "press" and weight to the sound vs. the bigger, more indirect sound that subharmonics has to it. There are some definite hard calls to make between them in some clips, though, and to me the greatest challenge is telling apart modal vs. chest with just a TINY amount of fry in it when you get to the really low stuff!

[@daniel9918]

5:23 that one is so short but so cool

[@emmaporterukulele]

Thanks for making this video! I will always find it funny how many bass singers feel the need to grow out their hair

[@mr.awesomesauce8923]

6:55 Idk man, I know Tim has a great sound in his fry, and he mixes a lot of his notes, especially live. But I think this one was chest, it sounds too supported and whole to be fry, and I believe the fact that his mouth was (presumably) closed during this note, that it is chest as well.

[@freddiestudio7668]

I honestly don't think so,don't get me wrong Tim is one of my favorite's but,tbh I don't think he have G1 in pure chest but hey ! it may be chest !

[@nightmaresnightly]

man i just started learning subharmonics and while i can hit b and a1's pretty easily, they don't have much power behind them. can't wait to learn to project and resonate them better

[@freddiestudio7668]

Practice and in no time you’ll achieve it bruh 😎

[@sungodra1226]

Very nice. I somewhat recently found out about subharmonics and have been practicing a bit. The lowest I can hit in both chest fry and subharmonics so far is (with some consistency) an E1, although I’ve been able to get to D#1 with subs (inconsistently). My lowest chest is C2. Subs have been really fun so far.

[@efes_art2136]

That's a really good video idea! I love it!

[@freddiestudio7668]

Thanks dude !

[@michelleshirek9253]

How about giving some chest fry isolated like the subharmonic? So we can learn the difference

[@phobia4656]

1:10 i thought that was a fart-

[@thebassmanadam]

Another great video! I think of all these I would argue that Jeff Pearles was chest. He is a naturally really low singer. That was a very well controlled smooth note. You should look up Christian Davis. Another amazing bass singer.

[@freddiestudio7668]

Thank you soo much !,maybe yeah jeff pearles has a crazy low range,yeah I've Been a huge fan of his work !,but I just could not find really low notes,I've heard his C#1 but that was only on one occasion so,I find it quite hard to find his lows

[@zkassai.audio.2]

Newbie question, maybe - what is a chest fry? Subharmonics, as I understand them, are achieved through fry, aren't they?

[@freddiestudio7668]

I am no voice teacher but,Chest fry is produced when chest and fry comes together in a way where the fry carries the chest notes to lower frequencies which allows the sound to have a chesty resonance,where as subharmonic would have a robotic/higher frequency sound and is produced through activating the vocal chords in a way where the voice drops by an octave

[@bassat1167]

I always thought Colm sang with chest. It just sounded like a bit of fry in his tone.

[@siriusley13]

Just wow!

[@_Phynx]

[@Marcell0Bass]

Colms A1 was chest

[@freddiestudio7668]

Maybe,I took a bit of risk by including him,I think he uses a very aggressive type of fry with his larynx all the way back and pushing for the note,so yeah I'm not so sure either

[@heliotropeskies5918]

when he says "and" it sounds chest-fryish but that might just be because he slides up from fry into it. "spoke" and "that" both sound like chest

[@ellicooper2323]

Could someone describe to us poor common folk what is the difference between subharmonics and chest-fry? And where was Avi?

Chest fry is basically fry with chest support,subharmonics is mixing fry and chest in a way that it creates an octave drop

[@jedoesstuff9086]

fry has little or none of the natural (or modal) tone in it, whereas the subharmonic is taking a modal note and compressing or flexing the voice box in a way to get a different part to start vibrating an octave or more down
