Talk about hard songs to sing. As someone who is always looking to expand his fanbase, and also to expand his skills as a singer/music producer, I figured I had to go big. My last cover was also a big song to sing, as it covered many different elements of the voice, as well as having a range and at least one key change. This cover is on a whole different level though. Just say the name Shwekey, and people will immediately say that his songs are impossible to sing. The same thing goes for Simcha Leiner.

I've been a fan of this song for a long time. Yedid by Yaakov Shwekey was one of the few tapes that my mother actually bought, as she refused to by music unless it was perfect, and perfection to my mother is on a whole different level, as she is extremely musical. About a month ago, I was reintroduced to this song, when my cousin sang it his older brothers wedding and nailed it. My cousin comes from an exceptionally musical family, and has actually sung with Shwekey live, and has also appeared on several professional recordings. He also composes and plays the piano very well, as does his mother and all of his brothers. Their father is also a very talented ba'al tefillah, so you can imagine the amount of talent running in the family. It's insane how talented that family is, and that they're my cousins. Either way, I was reintroduced to that song, and since it was in my head, and since I knew it's impossible to sing, I decided to do the absolute impossible for my next cover. This was actually recorded before the Al Hanissim cover, but the other cover was more ready to go, so I just uploaded that one first.

I was very worried about this song, because if you were to hear me sing this live, I wouldn't be able to sing it, no matter how hard I tried. I wouldn't even come close. Luckily with vocal editing, you can edit your vocals in a way that makes it sound good. Usually, I would associate that with autotune, but I've stepped away from that for now, and this cover has zero autotune. There is not one drop of autotune anywhere in the song.

Just because there's no autotune though, doesn't mean I didn't use any vocal effects. Almost any producer uses some sort of vocal effects, whether it's reverb and the like. I definitely used vocal effects in this cover, including pitch correction. The problem is that there's a huge misconception; people don't know the difference between pitch correction and autotune.They assume that if you have autotune, then you must be using pitch correction as well, and vice verse. Pitch correction takes your normal voice, and pitches each note to the key that you specify. Autotune is what changes your tone, and gives it that robotic sounding t-pain effect. Once you pitch your vocals, then you tell it how much autotune effect you want, but you could turn it down to zero like I did, and then there is zero autotune in your song, like over here.

Either way, I hope YOU enjoy(ed), thank YOU so very much for watching, and PLEASE subscribe, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

P.S. Also notice that the quality of my productions are getting much better, which is something else I've been working on. It's still nowhere near studio quality, as I don't have any sort of professional equipment, but it's still extremely good quality considering.
