Wow that looks like a really cool machine, never heard of it before!

Very successful use of acoustic gtr as primary instrument! The drums have a slightly too "processed" sound compared to the rest of the instrumentation IMO

Looks like a significant improvement for symmetry, and also the most logical way to go!

I'd really, really rather not transpose this one. Off pitch -- some of it was intentional "coloring" of the melody (I have perfect pitch). You're right though, not my natural range. Still, I'll give it another whirl. Might add them in, will have to check for conflicts with the harmonies in the...

Aight... I'll give it another go. My falsetto/chest voice breaks right in the middle of the range for this song so it will take some experimenting. Will keep you all up to date!

Honesty is what's wanted! OK I'll try and rethink the vocals on this one... not sure as of now what I'll do. Thanks for the feedback!

Yup ok. I am well aware of my shortcomings as a solo vocalist :D but are there any specific things you would recommend to be done better? Like, voice cracks, pitch, other things? I'm certainly not going for a specifically Stevie sound here, so if it just sounds like a falsetto instead of a...

Ah that must be it :) I love reharmonizing... kinda specialty of mine. If no-one else picks up on the Easter egg soon I'll let it out I promise! Could have transposed it but I'd prefer not to. [EDIT: I'm naturally a baritone BTW.] At first I thought a lady friend of mine might do the vocals...

Well, for all the 57 views here, y'all are really talkative! Anyway, slight tweaks to reverb, sidechain comp, and master bus processing: Thanks again for constructive criticism! Oh, and for the record -- never, ever, EVER try mixing on a laptop while half-asleep:spank:

True, that's more than can be said of mine!

Hi all! I posted a clip of the vocals on this project in the Microphones sub-forum, so sorry if you saw this one coming :) Featuring... Me actually performing the following: - Vocals (on my newly acquainted AKG D125) - Fender Rhodes MkII (suitcase) emulator on lead keys - Fender Rhodes...

There may be a hint here... from what he's saying I'm guessing it may refer to lower Q curves on the frequency response, resulting in less unpleasant surprises when making EQ adjustments. At the 19:02 mark:

That sounds like some really interesting music you'd be making... I'll let the others give setup advice, but I look forward to maybe hearing some samples of your music! Cheers!

Thanks for the heads-up @bouldersoundguy! I'll be keeping all this in mind next time I do some renders in various formats.

That thing is really impressive... but soo expensive! (like all SSL stuff lol)

Sorry for the delay, here is a sample of the AKG D125. These are from a quick preliminary take. I added a foam windscreen (affecting some consonants a bit) but I'm thinking that when I do final takes for this project I'll take it off. Dry: Processed:

Velvet is the word that comes to mind. I am eq'ing out a bit of proximity -- the "wooly" part -- but the top end is just really smooth. I'm guessing falsetto is perhaps not what you have in mind, but I could post a clip of what I currently have recorded if you'd like.

I recommend an AKG D125. Just found one by rummaging around in forgotten drawers at a church, brought it home, really smooth and darker than the Shure SMs you mentioned. My voice naturally has a bit of harshness, and it seems to get rid of it entirely. I'm working on a project right now with it...

@Bobby Layne -- Analog Obsession plugins are all free, and are my go-to for almost anything. Particularly the SSQ (eq), KONSOL (preamp/saturation), and LALA (LA-2A emulation). Highly recommend. If you can spare a bit of cash, do get a Cubase upgrade. That's one thing that I'm gonna go at some...
