THE HOUND + FOX "We Three Kings" ft. Tim Foust // Audio Engineer & Wifey 🥷🏻 React

[@donnaflynn9615]

Super rendition of a really good song. Thanks for the reaction! Love Hound And the Fox and Tim Foust.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Hound + Fox were part of Home Free's production crew for quite a while, and is part of the HF extended family. Their collaborations are always incredible. This was prior to the pandemic -- Tim still had his long hair! Thanks for the extra doses of HF and H+F Christmas joy!

[@nancyholter5646]

Wasn't that a great video? This was filmed on the Oregon coast, and released in 2018. If you look at the credits you will see another familiar name- Darren Rust is credited as on of the recording engineers. Reilly and McKenzie were originally FifGen film company and did most of HF's early videos along with the legendary Jimmy Bates who is still HF's main camera man. The Home Free 'family' contains so many supremely talented singer, composers, arrangers, and (gasp!) instrumental musicians. Go enjoy them all.

So Happy someone requested this besides me.

[@SweetCarolineCDN]

Wow … big time Goosies! So much fabulousness ! ❤❤❤❤

[@dianneantos480]

This one is how I first heard Tim. The H+F are dear friends. Thank for your work on their behalf and ours! Merry Christmas to you both ❤️🤗🌲

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for the nice comment, Dianne. Very Merry Christmas, to you!! 🎄❤️🥷🏻✌🏽

[@christinaalgate4899]

Merry Christmas guys. You should react to Tim singing Greensleeves with Peter Hollens

[@susanhorn4325]

Another fantastic choice Krystal, and another great reaction Jeremy and Jillian! So haunting and ethereal. When you consider the voices with H+F (especially in this song)…light and airy…Tim’s lows probably don’t need any boosting to come through. Whereas with Home Free he’s competing against the power of Rob’s and Austin’s voices. Tim’s lower frequencies probably need boosting to be heard at the same level as the higher tenor frequencies. (Just my unscientific guess 😏)

[@marylee7467]

Wow. That was amazing. Thanks Crystal for requesting it. Seasons Greetings everyone.

[@carolburnett190]

The Hound & The Fox is my fave duo. They, along with Home Free, are the type of peoples you want to hang around with❤ Jillian & Jeremy, thank you for gifting Home Free to us Home Fries! Merry Christmas ❤

[@musikbyjh]

Awww, we agree about the two groups being people you'd like to be around. Good people!! We are grateful to have Home Free BECAUSE of our fellow Fries...none of this would be possible without you. And of all the different genres we cover on this channel, the Home Fries are by FAR the closest friends we have - and we are so proud of the community here! Merry Christmas, Roni!! ❤️🥷🏻✌🏽

[@richb313]

Thanks for posting this hauntingly beautiful rendition of this song Tim is so natural a fit Merry Christmas to both of you.

[@musikbyjh]

Merry Christmas, Richie B!! ❤️🥷🏻✌🏽

[@cynthiamiller483]

This is a haunting song to begin with, but these three Magi made it so very special. The whole thing is just stunning. Oopsies are forgiven…did it myself in the church parking lot 😣 But I didn’t call anyone a name or have bad feelings for anyone, I just dropped something and out it came! I’m hoping that I got everything for today. It’s always one of my favorite places to be when I’m feeling overwhelmed. God bless you both for the joy you bring into my life!!

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Love Hound and the Fox, amazing Duo. I highly suggest their song Whistling Ladd feat. Adam Chance. It's Hauntingly Beautiful

[@babyfry4775]

So good. Hound + Fox do a fair number of collaborations with Tim and Chance. They did Wayfaring Stranger and Hurt with Chance that I love. This one is beautiful isn’t it?! Hope you had a great Christmas! 😍🥰

[@KeatingChick]

SInce they live in Oregon, I'm thinking it might be the Oregon dunes but I could be wrong. Thanks for reacting to this one. It's one of my favorites!!

[@musikbyjh]

So beautiful!!!

[@vickiadkins9844]

I absolutely love the Hound and fox, and ofcourse, Tim!! I've always loved this video!!

[@brendasorenson6186]

Thanks for the treat of The Hound + The Fox feat. Tim Foust. I've always loved this carol, and I love their version. I can always tell when something interesting, audio-wise, is happening by Jeremy's far-off expression! Merry Christmas to y'all!!!🎄🎄🎄

[@musikbyjh]

Merry Christmas, Brenda!!! 🎄❤️🥷🏻✌🏽

[@angelamason9840]

Merry Christmas and hugs to you both! Thank you Krystal for perfectly blending in my soundtrack of The Hound the fox and Home free as I make Christmas dinner! French toast with home alone and Home Free full of cheer is my favorite tradition!

[@christyeckert3115]

I was hoping you would do this one. It's a beautiful song and Tim definitely drops it low in this one

[@gardenlove6356]

On their newest lullaby album they also collaborated with Jeffrey East and Beugs (Buegs?).

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

This song and the meaning behind it has me all clocked up. Thanks for your reaction. Merry Christmas.🎄

[@niclasvestman]

Wishing you all a very good Jul and a good continuation❣️ (Swedish style) As for Jillian's comment on the different amount of reverb on the voices, I thought she did touch on a super interesting topic. And in my eye's Jillian's observation was really perceptive. And I do believe, it would be super interesting to a lot of people, if the resident expert on the subject, would care to elaborate. There are a plethora of reaction chanels, so emphasizing this expertise would imho make you stand out even more, in the best of ways. Either by adding a bit more at the end comments, or perhaps by throwing in a special technical episode once in a while. Some of the most successful creators seem to be appreciated especially for sharing their high level of knowledge. Like, the charismatic voice (vocals and more), the daily doug (composition), tank the tech (gear and live management) aso. But I have yet to see someone really good at production and mixing. Anyways, as an amateur with a range similar to that of Tim Foust, I have noticed that it's way harder to make a large amount of reverb sound ok. Even when moving up to the baritone range, it doesn't sound as good as for tenors and mezzo or sopranos. I find that the lower the range it just gets "muddy and messy sounding". My guess, most lower voices (and the lower register you use), the more noise or higher share of atonal frequencies. My guess humans percive reverb as more pleasant the cleaner the input signal. IE the higher the quota of base frequency and distinct overtones vs noise. That's why I think Jillian is right to some degree. Either the reverb is less auditable the lower the voice. Or the sound engineer actively choses different and more conservative reverb settings. Even a voice like Tim's that is almost uniquely resonant with low noise ratio even at extreme lows, still can't take reverb as well as a tenor. For me, I turn down the amount, but still use as much roomsize as the other parts so it will fit. And if more reverb like sound is needed, I think it is quite common for base vocalists to just sing with a tiny bit "vocal fry" added. It sounds good without getting muddy, especially together with higher voices that have a lot of reverb. Any thoughts? Am I completely off? 😅🤷

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks so much for the great comment!! As you likely know, the sound engineering could be influenced by a variety of different factors (including artist preference). Happy to cover in a future vid- too hard to elaborate effectively on comments. See you soon, and belated Merry Christmas!! 🎄 ✌🏽

[@antrazitaj5209]

You can see that this is an old video, Tim has longer dark hair, he cut it and stopped coloring during quarantine

[@brendasorenson6186]

Thanks for musical treat! I've always loved this carol, and I love their version. Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎄🎄

[@jq5609]

Beautiful ❤️

[@jq5609]

Joy to the world live by Home Free 🔥🔥

[@HennyvanderMeer]

Merry Christmas to everyone

[@justkaron]

You can tell it's older cause Tim cut his hair short during the pandemic... I think 3 or 4 years ago.
