Good riff. Try putting some lyrics together. It might help you focus on the direction you need to go. I had the music essentially done for a song, and when I started finishing the lyrics I realized the rhythm was wrong. I was working on the chorus while doing yard work and when I changed the...

Sounds good. Like noted above, the vocal level can come up in the early part, it sounds about right near the end

If you are getting a build up in the low mids in the vocal you can try high passing the vocal reverb around 400 to 500hz. I started doing that and it clears up my vocals pretty good without affecting the reverb sound too much. The 24 Dec mix sounds the best so far.

Much better and more balanced. The vocals come through better and are not stepped on. I like it.

Sounds good, very clean. I like the bass being prominent, didn't seem too loud and sounds like it fits the song. Nothing I can say I didn't like. Good job.

I can't make out the vocals. Sounds like they are in the background (reverb?). Turn down the piano a little, it's over powers the vocal.

I have multiple mirrored hard drives in my computer and use AOMEI Backupper to back up my Reaper folders, Izotope folders and essential computer files to the other drives daily. If the main drive craters, I simply go in the bios and switch drives and pickup where I left off. I also have an...

This has been very helpful. The reason I asked about autotune on the way in, is a fellow I know who has a studio suggested doing this. I couldn't see the reason for doing it. Still don't know, but I will try and see how it works. I currently use Melodyne to fix my vocals here and there after...

OK, I asked because I've been fixing everything in the daw, after recording it. Didn't know if it would be better to fix it on the way in.

Is it common now to use auto tune while tracking vocals?

Solder wick works pretty good too.

+3, I've done it a couple of times in Reaper. There's an option to preserve pitch that you have to select so the pitch doesn't change when you change the playback rate.

Fortunately, I saw that before I screwed up and bought two, thinking I would get the free two of my choice. So far I haven't bought anything because of that.

It's your on board graphics. I have a new Dell XPS with i7 processor and 16 gb ram and ssd drive. The new Dell bogs down with 3 or 4 track FX windows up with an external monitor. My old work station I built in 2008 or so with an early i7 processor and the same ram smoked the new Dell even before...

I just got through reading Bruce Swediens recording method book over on groove3, and he said he used a SM7 on Thriller. He said the SM7B does not sound as good as the SM7.

I like the strings. Good song.

I like the song. The droning was a little loud for the vocals, I had a hard time making them out. I actually would like to hear the song with the drone lower or maybe without it. When it stopped at about 3:15 it was like the song cleared up.

I listened to the self esteem draft. For a rough draft it wasn't terrible. I see what you mean about the levels. A pop filter will help you stay at a constant distance from the mike. My vocals can have a lot of volume deviation, sometime to much for just a compressor to smooth. At that point I...

Yes it is.

Nice voice, I really like the song. I assume you mean Rode, which one?
