Dear friends,

Here is my first song for you. Needless to say, it is of my favorite singer. 'Pukarata Chala Hu Main' with Karaoke.

Constructive feedback would be more than welcome!

If you like it, you are welcome to farmaish! I prefer Rafi Saab's songs from 50s and 60s.

@King Kishore and @sanjkash, thx for the compliments!

@anwar mian, thx for the karaoke track. I'll d/l it after improving my ratio, in a day or two!

@venkat, ust checked, and it is working. The golden one is NOT working, but the blue one (in the second post) is working. Pls do give it another try!

Since I am newbie here, my posts appear 24 hrs after posting, so pls bear with me.

King Rafiji, you have a wonderful voice. Why dont u add little echo to ur voice. It would surely sound much better than now.. Just my opinion... And please do share the song 'Pukarta chala hoon main'... And please rip it in at least 160 kbps so that one can use it to record his voice

... Expecting lot more songs in ur lovely voice..

Sanjay, dekh ek aur Sitara Chamaka HF ke aasman par..

Well Done!!

p.s. King Rafiji, could u please guide on how to use this enips player the way u have used it here? And how can I download ur song 'Pukarta chala hoon main'?

Hi King Rafi,

I just got to play and hear your "Pukarta Chala Hun Main" song. Here are my candid comments.

1. On the whole, a very good job.

2. I specially congratulate your Guitarist who did good justice to the lovely (but not so easy) guitar bits of the Original.

3. You guys got the Laya (ie. the beat and pace) of the song quite correct. Mind you, this is always important.

4.You have a nice voice and your rendition was good.

5. But, you have selected a fairly difficult song. In the original, Rafi Saab does not sing even one syllable in a plain manner, but keeps on throwing in sangats/harkatein/adayen everywhere! For instance, at one place, he says, "Pookaarta Chalaa Hun Mmmain' in an intoxicated manner.You know what I mean.

Of course, even you have tried to throw in some of those harkatein, but then there is more to do.

Finally, as there cannot be another Rafi, I do appreciate your attempt and would love to hear more such from you.

@omkar, thanks! I have indeed added echo. But adding echo is like a ceiling fan. It is either too fast or too slow! I have spoiled many a songs by putting too much echo. I do it the hardware way, need to learn using to so it with a software.

I’ll def. share the karaoke track in the next 24 hrs. Currently I am busy preparing for our colony musical programme that happens during Ganpati festival. I have to sing 4 songs (2 solo and 2 duets)

cyborg has explained incorporating the esnips part here

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?showtopic=38889

@venkat, thanks! BTW, I have no guitarist! It is a track by Nupur Audio. I also have the track by Vale Music, and background music wise, I think Vale is better. But the problem is the music played at the time of vocal is so loud, it mars the vocals. I’ll upload both versions of ‘Pukarta’ in the Rafi section.

My biggest problem is my sense of timing and rhythm. So I had absolutely no option but to choose a song that is simple on the beats. Recently, at a programme I was to sing ‘Mana Tadapata’ but simply could not fit in the taans in the time cycle, so was forced to change to ‘Dil ka Bhawar Kare Pukar’

I feel privileged that you thought I am good enough to even think of comparing with the great one!

Anyone who is interested in Karaoke singing.

A small tip on Echo.
If you are using Audacity....
1) Highlight your voice (track)
2) From "Effect" menu choose "Echo"
3) Set "Delay Time (seconds)" = 0.2
4) Set "Delay Factor" = between 0.2 to 0.3 (depending upon the requirement in the song).
This will give pretty good effect to your voice and it is not seen (heard/felt) as excessive Echo

Another small tip on Pitch.
1) Upload the karaoke background track
2) Highlight the track
3) From "Effect" menu choose "Change Pitch..."
4) Shift the knob at the bottom to left or right (respectively if you want to change the pitch of the background track to LOW or HIGH) which can also be seen in "Percent Change" in the same window. This is really Trial and Error.
5) set the Percent Change = to whatever suits your vocal range
Once set, you sing naturally (in your voice range) and the background Karaoke track will be suitable to your voice
This is helpful for those who may have difficuties in getting their vocal pitch to very high pitch or very low (especially if you are singing in the same pitch range of any legend e.g. Rafi, Lata, Talat; Mukesh, Kishore etc.)

Finally a very small tip
Other than "Echo", do not try to add extra "Bass" or "Change Pitch" of your original voiced track. Try to keep your own voice natural (no software manipulations to your voice track, And agian use "Change Picth.." only for the background Karaoke track).

Hope you find this helpful.

Sanjay, saw your post just now. Yes, I use Audacity, and your tips will be very useful to me!

OMkar, once u open an account on esnips, you can d/l any song from esnips. You need not upload anything.

Anwarbhai, thanks so much for your kind words. But if you hear the original song, you might want to take your opinion back.

Song: Kahan Tak Yeh Man Ko Andhere Chhalenge
Singer: Kishore Kumar
Movie: Baton Baton Mein
MD: Rajesh Roshan
Lyricist: ???

Kishoreda has sung this song sooooooo nicely... I just tried to sing as good as I can.

Thanks once again and surely I am gonna make a different thread where I would upload my songs. Aren't you aware that I already have uploaded many songs in 'Guru and Chela' thread of Kishore Kumar and Hemant Kumar Forum???

Kishoreda Ki Mehfil
https://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?show...=40270&st=0

Hemantda Ki Mehfil
https://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?show...=42749&st=0

The main reason behind making these threads in these forums was due to the name of this forum itself. I dont really like the name of this forum very much. The phrase 'Sur Mein Na Sahi' does not really encourage me to upload my songs here. I am completely aware that I am not a professional singer but I sincerely feel that I am very much in Sur and Taal. And also there was some request from some other friends who wanted to make a thread; a kinf of as Mehfil of Kishore Kumar songs...

Anyways, wherever the thread is, mehfil is doing good... We have many starts like Sanjay (Chk Hemant Kumar Mehfil), Amanush, Ravikumarfromindia and eskayes. We would like if you also can upload some
Kishore Kumar songs there.

And enjoy!!!

Thanks once again for your appreciation!

Cheers!!
