Kutti Kutti Kavidhai Naane - Pop Shalini

Just before I lost the recording software, I managed to record this very new song called "Kutti Kutti Kavidhai naane" from the movie "Poi" which is yet to be released. This is K Balachandar's 101st directorial movie.

This movie has very nice songs esp. "Poi solla poren"

Pop Shalini is a very versatile singer and had made it into the V Channel's VIVA competition but unfortunately did not win the award.

Song: Kutti Kutti Kavidhai
Movie: Poi (yet to be released)
Singer: Pop Shalini

Original Song

Bahut Pyar Karte Hain - Anuradha Paudwal

***UPDATE (DEC 3rd): I bought my recording software and tweaked the volume and the starting of this song...so please listen to it again ***

=======================
One of my favorite singers, who has sung lovely numbers in Aashiqui, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Lal Dupatta Mal Mal Ka etc.

This song is from Saajan and I managed to get the instrumental, and not a karaoke.
So my voice is at a higher volume to overshadow the instrumental tune. I need to reduce the volume but unfortunately my laptop has crashed and I do not have the recording software (trial version) anymore ...so changes have to wait till I get hold of one.

WARNING: Put the volume a little on the lower end when listening to this one.

Enjoy listening...and leave your comments for me to improvise.

Song: Bahut Pyar Karte Hain
Movie: Saajan
Originally sung by: Anuradha Paudwal

Kaatril Endan Geetham - S. Janaki

There was a dilemma whether to sing "Oru sanam" from S.Janaki's songs (since that has a lot of emotions or to sing Kaatril Endan Geetham). The decision was kinda easy cos I did not have the karaoke track for Oru Sanam.

One of the toughest songs. The pitch at which Janakiamma has sung this song is unbelievable.

I have tried my best....rest is for you folks to tell.

Song: Kaatril Endan Geetham
Movie: Johnny
Originally Sung by: S Janaki.

Yamunai Atrile - Mithali

One of the voices and songs that caught me when the movie Thalapathi was released (it was the year 1991 for Diwali).

Excellent song rendered beautifully by Mithali and Chorus (I have sung the solo version here since this one is without most of the music!)

Song: Yamunai Atrile
Singer: Mithali
Movie: Thalapathi

Yaad piya ki -Falguni Pathak

After testing the waters with easy Vaseegara, ondra renda,a first attempt at an English song (which many listeners liked!), and then a pop one (Baat Ban jaye), to Carnatic (Alaipayuthey), I am now planning to try the songs of many different female singers (with minimal repetition - limited to the availability of Karaoke tracks!).

Started with KS Chitra yesterday

Now its Falguni Pathak.

Enjoy listening

Ninnukori - K S Chitra

One of my favorites sung with the new microphone...

Song: Ninnukori Varnam
Movie: Agni Natchathram
Originally sung by: K S Chitra

New Microphone

Bought a new microphone today!!!
Stay tuned for atleast two more songs by Monday (one Tamil and one Hindi)

Alaipayuthe -Harini

As I said, I wanted to test the kind of songs that I can sing and the natural next attempt is at a carnatic song from the movie Alaipayuthe...

If rest of the songs were a breeze to learn and record, this song took me nearly 5 hours to learn and record cos inevitably I goofed up in some place during recording and had to rerecord like 22 times...so much for my versatality...:-)

I really feel that I should have taken some classical music lessons after this struggle...better late than never so may be soon??

As always, please leave your comments.

You're still the one - Shania Twain

Today I wanted to test the versatility in my voice ....so I attempted to record one of my favourite english songs by Shania Twain "Youre still the one".

Does not sound great ...but it is for you folks to tell me if I sound too desi in this song...

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri - Nazia Hussain

Updated with new version on Jan 21 '07

My experiment with "the software"

Now that I have this fabulous software (for only 30 days though!), I wanted to experiment with the features.

Had the sound track for Baat Ban Jaye (aap jaisa koi meri..wonderful rendition by Nazia Hassan)
The song has a special chorus effect, which is hard to replicate without a sophisticated mixing software like the one that I am trying now....so I thot why not try that song....

Listen to it below... and leave your comments for me so that I can improvise.

Ondra Renda -Bombay Jayashree

Second posting this week...this time with a much better recording...


I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Audition [thanks to Jo (http://jocalling.blogspot.com), who provided guidance on getting me started with the right audioblog tools] and tried this song....same laptop mic and soundcard (in built in my laptop)...

But sounds better than the one before.... but a long way to go

Here's Ondra Renda from Kaakha Kaakha...

AUDIO BLOGGING..(Vaseegara)

Came across audioblogging just two weeks back (thanks to my friend and college batchmate - Preethy (http://swathwam.blogspot.com), who introduced me to her involvement with www.blogswara.com) and it caught me by waves....

Its incredible that these folks who created this album have not met one another and the entire album creation process has happened via emails, completely remote.

Pushed me listen to other audio blogs and inspired me to put up my recordings online.

The first one is recorded without any sophisticated microphone or recording software. Just my laptop's built in mic and a freeware recording software that kept jumping the tracks....but neverthless...first try...

Leave your feedback please...
