RE's:
* Jiggery Pokery's Steerpike Delay and Chenille Chorus to make anything shine
* Synapse GQ-7 EQ to cut and boost.
* Seligs Leveler for fixing vocal dynamics and Seligs Gain when I was out of Gain.

Hi all,
there's two things in my current WIP that I'm curious about if it's perceived as fine, or if I should change it?
1. The transition from the vocal part of the intro and to the next part
2. The bass: I deliberately didn't quantize it, to give it some personality.

The transition from the vocal works well.

Has a petshop boys feel about it

Yes, there'll be vocals throughout the song. I even got my son to sing a verse, very rare achievement

Nice and sweet song. Your vocals have their own signature sound. I like it. Can you grunt too?

Thanks for feedback, and glad to hear I'm not moving to far away from that best decadeCarly(Poohbear) wrote: β24 Dec 2017Love it, very very 80's (the best decade )
Do you have a high quality wav that I can listen to?
I'll upload a wav to instaud.io.
I think the vocal tracks needs some more care.

I tried searching for it on instaud but could not find it, did you make it public, will I need to create an account for it? (I don't mind creating an account)jappe wrote: β26 Dec 2017I'll upload a wav to instaud.io.Carly(Poohbear) wrote: β24 Dec 2017

Ref the vocals, this is one of the reasons I wanted to hear a high Def version of it.

I sent you a OneDrive link on PM now - got a max size exceeded error on instaud.
Nice job Jappe! Very polished sound and love all the intricate details. Well done!

Had a good listen on headphones and my monitors (Yes I have monitors set backup again after 2 years without them, heaven) anyway I felt the balance of the vocals worked well with the song, the only bit I did not get was at the 1:32 with the whisper and the line straight after that, just felt a little out of place, like you shoe horned that bit in. (There are no other whispers in the track)jappe wrote: β26 Dec 2017Hi!Carly(Poohbear) wrote: β26 Dec 2017

The track would fit straight into a 80's mix tape, I do like your style...

I spent some time trying to get the whispers like I intended, but I think I should really have re-recorded it.
The raw recording had too much tonal part and I tried to tweak that away; I also removed the center vocal track for the whispers
This is very cool. I absolutely love the solo at 1:58. I love the left turn at 3:00 (time is passing by), fun.

This is fun!
Thank's for the kind words
I never thought I'd be able to improve my vocals, but found inspiration to practice in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/singing/
I'm still dependent on Reason Pitch Edit/Melodyne, but I feel training really helped, so much less pitch correction needed these days.
If anyone reading this is convinced that voice improvement is unachievable, please checkout the r/singing thread and find the inspiration to prove the opposite there.
Some months ago I also joined an choir, and I can also recommend that for people to take a step out from their comfort zone.
Extremely rewarding.
Glad you liked it!
Wow, I just love everything about this. The concepts above all and the execution is wonderful as well mate. The one thing I could take to suggest as feedback to you, as I'm someone who is mixing a lot right now, is that airy pad in the mid to high frequencies (if you will) could use some movement either panning or freq or both, maybe using a light phaser. Yet that's just for me when I'm on these particular headphones. Love this track, fav'ing it now!
