Some singers will go flat if they have too much reverb and bass frequencies in their headphones..
Hey, thanks for listening and the feedback. That may have been the issue. We will go back and take another look. Thanks again
See - for me it’s about the disparity between them.... to go low-fi or punk we’d need to match them rest of the tracks which are a little more obviously cleaner or hi-fi..... and as for auto tune - ya I wouldn’t use it in this context.
). Especially if you nail a track that is so beautiful but has something pitchy which makes way more sense to fix the pitch instead of doing it over again bcause someone thinks its not cool. Nothing to be ashamed about there.
I would never want to turn away from a stellar performance just to try tweaking in a line or two to "fix" something when a few hours with a program as powerful and workable as Melodyne can do what 50 outtakes can NEVER do. In 20 minutes.melodyne is excellent for tweaking pitch. Nothing wrong with anyone (mixing engineers included) using melodyne where or if needed to polish a track (unless its Neil Young
that's what I was getting at about designating a band member to be the vocal producer... make it fun but have him vet the performance and push it to get a more solid take. You can hear the hesitation/uncertainty in the delivery... just inexperience/fear there.... the lack of power from this is probably exacerbating the tuning issues.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes we panned the guitars a bit more to accommodate (sp?) the vocals.
Thanks for the feedback! I am the singer-songwriter and guitarist, bassist. My counterpart plays drums and we both mix. I may try and retrack the vocals this weekend if my schedule permits. I recorded the vocals as part of a demo so that my drummer would have something to play to (we live in separate states) and kind of grew fond of the demo vocals although as you pointed out there are some flaws that are probably worth addressing.
Hahaha. Do you know anyone? I always considered myself more of a songwriter than a singer but we've never been able to find anyone reliable. Thanks for the feedback!
LOL. Maybe taking heed of the coaching from the others on here may get you closer to your end product! By the same token, there are places on the net with lots of people to collaborate with. Some want money and some just want the experience from sharing talents. Since you guys are used to sharing tracks and working that way perhaps delve into these places and see what you can come up with. You never know where that one talent is that just blows it all up!
i get it. it's your song and you want to sing it. and it sounds fine. lots of singer songwriters don't sing perfect pitch. way too many to list. i think it adds character and personality. these days i'm sure there would be people who would auto tune Janice Joplin lol. when everyone uses the same tools and approaches, everything begins to sound sameo sameo. i like sparks and farts. i personally can't live with my vocals without a little tuning but i think it should be a personal decision. if it doesn't bug you, why fix something that isn't broke?
