How can 2 guys sound like the a 5 piece band complete with backup singers?

Easy (well, we make it look easy) - we use a MIDI and a Harmonizer.

MIDI? Harmonizer? What the heck are they?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI allows musicians to have "backing tracks" such as drums and bass, and to use certain sounds to create a better overall performance, and it also allows them to make subtle changes in a live situation. MIDI can do everything musical to an electronic instrument that a human being can physically do, and a few things that humans can't!

It can be programmed with hundreds of musical instruments, which can be played back at will. With the MIDI, we can add any other instruments we need for a song, such as drums, harmonica, banjo, violins - whatever we need.

The Harmonizer makes it sound like we have many backup signers. It takes a voice channel, splits it into many channels, then shifts the frequencies of each channel slightly to make it sound as if there are many people singing.

The Vocal Harmonizer allows singers to create extra harmony parts where they are needed, and still retain the "human" sound. The harmony notes are usually controlled by MIDI messages that are sent out from a sequencer and/or keyboard, and they are converted into vocal harmony notes coming out of the sound system, along with the other vocalist(s).

With these two instruments, we can duplicate the sounds of the Beatles, the Doors, Peter Frampton - whomever we want.

Needless to say, it takes some time to program the tracks into the MIDI and fine-tune them. However, we think you'll agree that the results are worth it. Hear for yourself - download some song clips and give them a listen. The song clips can be found on the main page.
