TRP 2/3 thread by prxnce

[mikale]

i’m not so sure about that C6 🫣

[Gilad]

Both extremities aren't countable imo

[dankapple]

hello ok so ik like 5 staff are supporting eviscerating this thread but I would like to provide my thoughts on the extremities. For the C2, he hits it multiple times: the slide on "denied", "talk IT", "walk IT", and "floor PLANs". I do also believe support is sufficient as there are multiple G2s and F2s in that passage, so unless there's a mis-pitch I don't see anything wrong with it. btw the E♭2 and G1 fry notes in the spoiler are both dips/slides from way higher notes and only showcased once.
and regarding the C6, it seems to me that he is trying to hit a high note there, and I think the pitch is clear enough. I imagine this the same kind of notes as blue italic "woo"s / "yeah"s. the notes in the spoilers marked [5] are kind of unintentional "cracks" (example).
I acknowledge I'm not very experienced at notewatching and using its standards, so if you guys don't mind can you explain why they're uncountable? always good to learn something, thanks! also i will try to not be so lenient in my next thread lol
(I think i'm too desperate for someone with 4 octaves)

[Electric Mami]

It is true that the C2 is hit multiple times however it's pretty much just creak without a strong amount of tone; if his tone was consistently strong throughout the passage even on the dips it would be another story, but here it isn't the case
As for the C6, even if he is obviously aiming to make that sort of yelp, the note's quality isn't great at all imo, and it also is an F♯5 anyway (which shows that the pitch isn't that clear)

[haeksk（ハクサク）]

The Frail State of Mind of D2 is... not there? Nothing's there. Is that supposed to be talking about that pitched-down vocal chop-type thing?

The bolded G2 also sounds really edited; if not pitched, it's definitely formant-shifted. Kind of suspicious

[dankapple]

(i'm actually quite sure it's a C6 lol)

anyways the singer can pull off many different voices, check out Antichrist & the B2s in Facedown. yes the band has a few very pitch-shifted songs so I only included lead vocals (melody) from those songs, but going through and comparing their discography I don’t believe there’s a lot of audio editing going on over there. i can see why you don’t think they’re bold-worthy, but I believe they’re legit. I see lots of people coming here so i’ll check this thread in detail soon

I think I hear it, actually. It’s very faint, but I’m pretty sure it exists. dankapple has a very good ear when it comes to things like this. If he says it’s there, I’ll trust his judgement.

[Bink]

I hear the D2 kind of, though frankly if that is a voice I personally would not bold it at all. Also with the G2, it slides down to some non-obscured F2s as well, that is if that is his actual voice which I must say I find a little dubious in that passage.

[dankapple]

what do we think about this other D2 link

[Osmosis]

Lowest I hear is A2

I think I hear a D2 as well, but I’m not 100% sure if it’s a voice or not.

[Osmosis]

It's a bass guitar playing the low D
