Nice thread repost, but if you're going to use other people's research pls make an effort to credit them, as well as to alphabetize the additions you did make. Also, the F#1s from the 2014 live versions of "Natural Disaster" have been pretty conclusively determined to be lip buzzes.

thank you for the warning. i'm so sorry for the mistakes, i've really forgot to credit the original researcher, i didn't mean to copy or take anything for me, i just wanted to repost the old thread. i also didn't know about the alphabetize thing in notes. i'm gonna fix everything and give credit to the original researcher, thanks

Appreciate it! Glad to see this thread up on the new site finally.

Alright, so here's an interesting find. In Chains at around 3:00, Avi sings an extremely subtle, yet incredibly low bass line in the background that bottoms out at E1. If you listen really hard, you can make out the rasp of the low note. Honestly, it would probably be boldable if it weren't so damn hidden.

{Chains}

I threw the audio into Audacity and changed around some of the levels. The bassline is still pretty difficult to hear, but it's more apparent than in the original audio.

[RINGO]

I'll be damned. Pretty sure that's a growled note because it has that Foust-like rattle to it (also it's probably way too strong to legitimately be chest voice or vocal fry), but I'd bold it regardless tbh.

thank you for this, since i first heard Chains i was pretty sure there was a hidden bassline in that part, but since it was so buried in the harmony i thought it was just my mind tricking me.

yeah, it's a pretty strong E1 to be a chest (Avi never went lower than G1 in chest till now), it's very likely a growl note. i will not consider it a boldworthy note since it's so difficult to hear on the song (even with the edited audio), in that chorus there's a lot of upper harmonies that make it even harder to hear.


also, i'm hearing the bassline as E1 - B1 - C2 - A1 - E1 (maybe the first E is an E2, idk is hard to tell, to many notes on that part), what notes are you guys hearing on that bassline? i would like to know ;)

[1999]

Is it just me or that E♭5 sounds as a D?

[rebaru]

i'm hearing the Eb5

[1999]

I think he's going G - B♭- C - D, if you try the scale with the E♭just sounds off

[Deleted]

I'm hearing G-B♭-C-E♭-slide to D-rest of the run.
It's not that weird to jump to the third degree of a scale.

[1999]

Still doesn't sounds right to me, must be something with me, I guess lol

Could you do the same thing with the full moon G1 please? I’ve never been able to hear it and I’m not entirely sure it exists, everyone seems to hear it except me, so any sort of isolation to hear it better would be cool if at all possible

here it is: link

listen with good headphones because it still hard to hear. there are several G1s through that part onwards, but it's almost impossible to hear it clearly without a bass boost since there tons of harmonies above the bass.

Hmmm idk, something seems not quite right to me. Maybe it’s the bass boost and editing, but the dynamics of the note are all over the place and reverberate everywhere, almost like it’s the bass drum that’s being struck and they just edited it to have the frequency of the tonic note if the chord (idk if that’s a thing they do, it’s just what I first thought of when it was mentioned). Maybe it really does exist and I’m stupid but I don’t hear anything that convincing there :/

[Dylan]

I don't hear Avi's voice in the Full Moon G1s the same way I do in the Chains E1s. I would guess those G1s are just an instrument/synth.

ah yeah, i forgot to mention that in the bass boost i enhanced to the max the 49hz frequency (the frequency of a G1) and dropped all the other frequencies to the minimum, thats why the note dynamics are loud af and reverberate a lot.

about the note existing or not, i tend to believe it does exist because it isn't that low of a note for Avi. take for exemple the questionable C1 in Change On The Rise, that C1 is in a similar context to the G1 because it is also very hidden in the harmony and really hard to tell if it is done by Avi or just by a synth, but i tend to believe that it isn't done by Avi because he never went THAT low (even if we consider it as a growled note).

i also don't hear his voice clearly in the G1s, but, as i said before, it's hard to tell that it is NOT him because there's a lot of upper harmonies that bury the G1, so it's pretty difficult to hear the note in a clear way.

i also don't hear his voice clearly in the G1s, but, as i said before, it's hard to tell that it is NOT him because there's a lot of upper harmonies that bury the G1, so it's pretty difficult to hear the note in a clear way.

The fact that it's so hard to tell whether or not it's him means it probably belongs in the questionable notes spoiler.

My personal two cents: I don't think it's him, and even if it was him, there is no good way to prove it. What saves the Chains E1 is the fact that in spite of how buried it is, you can still hear the crackle from Avi's voice (and honestly if the crackle weren't there, I wouldn't have even brought up the Chains notes). There is no such crackle present in Full Moon, so that, along with the density of the harmonies, makes it nearly impossible to prove or disprove anything concerning those low notes. I would personally remove them entirely, but at the very least they should be moved into the questionable notes.

hm ok, you guys are problably right on this one. i personally still think that it's him, but for the sake of being almost impossible to prove that the note was made by Avi himself (and also because the majority is saying that it wasn't lmao) i'm gonna move it to the questionable notes.

Backing C#2s at the end of new studio cover ‘lean on me’, along with an E4 and E2 in the lead part. There’s possibly some higher notes in the harmonies but I’m too deaf to work out what the notes are

i'm gonna work on redoing this thread and really notewatching Avi's work someday (i've been busy lately so i don't know when), since when i posted this i only "copied and pasted" the thread that i had saved from the old forum and made some additions. that means i'm not going to add any new notes to the thread for a while.

anyway, the low notes at the end of "Lean on Me" sounds like D2s to me

I was almost certain there was lower than C#2 in humming bit at the end

I think there's a G1 in Full moon at 3:47, in the background of the word "why"
