So Nikki IS human! She's seemingly such a natural performer, and it's interesting to learn that she "struggles" or even feels "nervous." Loved the honest talk. Thanks, Crafty and Nikki! God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏

[@YFZMoto]

I Love Nikki's Voice she is so Talented and Crafty cracks me up I love watching him perform both are Amazing Talents.

[@philhatfield2282]

Great chat! Nikki is surprising in her age group! Never would have pegged her for her age group! So neat to hear about the prep, the group, and the thoughts of the performers.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Thanks again, Crafty, for this view behind the curtain! I really enjoy learning what went into the making of what was another terrific music video from the SingIt Live crew. Take care and God Bless.

[@joek7742]

Nikki you go girl and beat up that cushion 😄 Thanks Crafty for another learning experience/ interview on your channel.

[@fritzthecat50]

A great interview Crafty, so comfortable to watch you two, like old friends chillin and chattin on a couch. I like watching you and Nikki interact when doing a song. The whole band is always in sinc and seems to have a lot of fun playing the music. Dartin is a great arranger and producdrer. Niki has become my favourite singer of all time. Grest voice range, and the way she interpret the songs using everything she has to mske believe she is singing to someone special. I prefer listening to Sing It Live than the original bands . Sing it Live pitsca new spon on all the songs they do. So much energy and fun to watch and listen to. Thank you. Michael Chapman Canada

[@rikrushton6826]

so much authenticity in this interview with the glorious Nikki Heuskes - as always, Nikki looks to shine the light on others!

[@mikeyoung1191]

Every time I hear you guys say Adelaide, I hear “At L.A.” and I think awesome they’re coming to the States (Los Angelos) You guys do such a great job, and I know you all have busy lives, but have you ever entertained the idea of coming to L.A. or Vegas for a short stint? Anyway keep up the good work. I always enjoy what you guys do. Peace and Blessings! Matt

[@timdalton2050]

This is more fun than the song. Niki your daughters are both stunning also. This was a great performance “the video” by the whole band…. But you have had so many as the lead singer. True Pro

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Nikki such a great singer. the Xanadu was epic.

[@dodg1677]

I really like these insights into the recordings and the people who make them. I'm sure I'm not the only fan curious about the people involved. Please keep them coming.

[@guitarhero9147]

You all look like really fun people! And nice too.

[@siskokidd]

Bless both of you music nerds! You're not alone! On the subject of learning a complex singing/playing part, the necessary repetition involved, I go back to my days of having to do that in a working band. The memory that stands out to me the most is when trying to sing the backing vox to MJ's Beat It while playing the bass line. It took me an entire weekend to be able to do it without a glitch. I'm so glad I did it though, because without the specific part I learned, it wouldn't sound right without it. The dissonant note part that absolutely makes that chorus. I made a tape loop of that chorus, playing along and singing to it, over and over...

[@MrTbonerocks80s]

This is great to learn how you prepare for your performance. Very helpful! Thank you for sharing...

[@mldufault9399]

Wonderful people & love that you both could sit & chat! Thank you, Crafty & Nikki!! #SynergyOfGreatPeople

[@timothygossett9279]

This was awesome! More discussion of the process and technical aspects. It's fascinating...

[@MisterGames]

Awesome humans!

[@jimcawthard8631]

I wish I was in the room with you two. Amazing energy!!!!

[@douglasdde376]

Thanks for sharing the background, I have band experience with friends who are brothers, it was the highlight of my life outside family and faith, music is so powerful and add more if you are able to perform it.

[@getwhatyougive]

[Great content! Thank you for this and I hope you do more like this!]

[@wilbs55]

Great insights into the process. Sometimes us viewers get sucked into thinking that because you are all so talented, all you need to do is rock up and plug in. Great reminder that even the best need to put in the hard work, study and practice. And the uncertainty about how it will all look and sound makes it all the more 'human' and relatable - why AI will never replace live performance. Also a reminder that Singit Live is not a band, but rather professional musicians coming together to collaborate and contribute parts. The results are always brilliant. Thanks and keep the videos coming!

[@vruz]

ABC is the one where Crafty was such a bad boy that Chloe kicked him!! hahaha 🤣

[@adair4847]

I thought you all were Americans in LA so far i hear your English ? your videos are just great . The bass on sledgehammer wow . All of you are so good

[@adair4847]

Or Aussies??

[@CraftyMusicTips]

Yes, we’re all from South Australia 🇦🇺

[@greglee4016]

Crafty thanks thanks thanks. Awesome interview. One of your best.

[@Redbuzzcut]

Crafty, that shirt in the vid is awesome (and of course the individual performances are off the charts!). You guys make my Friday nights in the USA!

[@georgeschiabor196]

Just an incredibly talented Australian Sheila❤

[@MattyFitt]

Great video. Love the way we all get a feel for the passion behind the work. My puppy is climbing all over the keyboard, it's hard to type! She likes your playing as well! Keep these coming!

[@paulguthrie4857]

Love this one!!

[@rccc5806]

Awesome interaction and cool insight into your creative flows! I'm sure Zoran forgave you for that, anyway nothing a beer together would not fix 😉.

[@shanraw1]

Great video, roll on the next one

[@therealrem]

I can’t believe she’s any older then 30!

[@OttoCharles49]

She is sliding toward 50.

[@jimharkema4485]

Crafty, loved seeing you with the Vee! Is that a new tool or one you bring out for special occasions?

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Great insight... Love the Looney Tunes reference, "Morning Sam..."

[@andyashcroft1921]

Brilliant 👍

[@ytnewt02amgine]

I haven't thought about those sheepdogs in YEARS. What a great comparison.

so good wownikki crafty wow

[@simply3141592654]

Someday I'd like to see a crossover performance with the Band Geek guys.

[@Fezzler61]

As an intermediate guitarist, I find it near impossible to play a rhythm and sing a harmony at the same time. No?

[@johnzawatwicz3867]

Love nikki great voice when her and Sarah where together could not stop listening can you tell me why Sarah gave up it would be nice to get them together one more time

[@joelmorris8368]

She had a baby and don't think Sarah wanted to carry on

[@josephblasquezjr6050]

Time I’m lessons to HSCC all I can think of is Come to the United States, PLEASE!!..Come to U.S. U bet I’ll be there.

[@charleskadletc2431]

Nikki your so beautiful to look at. How about, talking about how you guys suggest a song, and making it happen.

[@guntertorfs6486]

Nice ear'hoops'.

[@JohnSmith-do1pj]

I'd love to have a drink with Chloe, 'cos Chloe's, me mate.

[@Bet-vx3fg]

not a first song , where kick drum is not heard. tell darren to equalize kick higher, about 2 kHz, or use sample. kick and snare must be in front, otherwise song will lost rhythmic. especially in songs that have a lot of energy

[@Crunkboy415]

It's noticeable during the verses, maybe bring the guitars down a bit. I think it's ok in the chorus because in the original song it gets a little crowded with the guitars coming in strong with Kelly's voice.

[@Bet-vx3fg]

@@Crunkboy415 kick and snare parametric equalization will help, maybe little sidechain compressor. Same issue in song 'We Built This City'. Easiest way is use kick sample and blend over recorded microphone sound. Also Pro Tools Beat Detective solve lot of drums phase issues. I am sure Logic has similar feature.

[@producernerd]

I mix my own way and most (well let’s say over 90% of listeners) are happy with the sound. Non professionals are more concerned if the vocals are too soft 🤷🏽‍♂️ and professional studio guys can get caught up in details like this but if I get caught up in it I’d never be able to continue producing online. I don’t mean to offend anyone at all when I remind you of the old saying (from Confucius I think 😅) ‘Opinions are like a$$holes….everyone has one’ 👊🏽 Rock on 🤟🏽
