Threads looking good so far, there's just a few things though
1. Instead of # and b use ♯ and ♭
2. This thread is very much lacking alphabetization
3. Thread Pic:

4. I'd title the thread just "Carmen" since that's what he's known as.
5. Link the note extremities in the Vocal Range section

[jfb30]

I'll fix the ABC order of each song for each significant note listed. I'm a first time user just to tell you.

[rootyrootz]

YOOOOO! i love that someone made this

you may want to add time stamps to the links so that it goes directly to where the note is. and you don't necessarily have to link EVERY note

[jfb30]

I don't know how to apply the time stamps for the links since I'm a first time user.

It go like dis, super easy:

Here's the link to Step of Faith 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5wShjkism0

Here's the link straight to the D2 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5wShjkism0&t=24s

You can add "&t=" and then the format if it's over a minute into the video would be like "&t=2m5s" for example

And most people typically only bother to link the highest and lowest significant notes, and any boldworthy (particularly impressive) notes. Unless you reeeally want to do that many links

[jfb30]

Rootyrootz, thanks. Now I have a few timestamps set in place: the D2 and the A4 including the E2, G2, A2, and B2 from Holdin On, the F2 from Who's in the House, and the G♯4 from 7 Ways to Praise. I believe Carman recorded stacked unison in Who's in the House and Lord, I Love You. I think he sang the bassline at the end of Lord, I Love You.

[rootyrootz]

All good stuff, my friend! I also couldn't help but notice what I think is a spoken C2 in "My Jesus I Love Thee"

It might not count toward being significant enough as it's just talking, but it could count as a "questionable note" which is something you may consider down the road working on this thread

I'm hearing that bottom at E♭2/D2

This man was basically my childhood growing up in a Christian household.

[jfb30]

Same here! I used to have two of his albums: Yo Kidz Vol. 1 and the Standard.

[rootyrootz]

First range expansion!!! Niiice

I just wanted to say I don't think distinguishing Spanish vocals is that significant (in terms of vocal range I guess?) and also most people on this site use green to indicate harsh and distorted vocals. You just may want to rethink it as it may lead some to scratch their heads thinking "Carman sings metal?"

[jfb30]

Then what color scheme to use for Spanish versions or should I remove that color scheme out?

[jfb30]

I removed the green highlights myself.

Personally, I think that's the way to do it! Sorry I am NOT trying to tell you how to make your thread, just giving some advice on what is "the norm" around here

[jfb30]

Good thing I looked up the page, "Tutorial: How We Include Notes." So many songs under Carman consist of spoken word that are hard for me to pinpoint the spoken notes.
