I can't remember who suggested that...I kind of wondered if it was you! lol Anyway, it may have been directed at me specifically due to my deep voice getting masked by the bass guitar, or it could have been general advice I just read. I can't remember. It seems to help with lower register pitch...

Excellent. I am googling how to obtain these nodules of which you speak right now. I am unwilling to practice or take lessons, but I can listen...not for two weeks though! Sheesh.

Well, while I don't find it easier to sing while playing, I generally think I get a better feel on the vocal take when playing guitar too. I just don't often get a good enough sound on both to use those takes. Not sure why, but something about singing while playing makes it flow a little better...

Thanks for listening and for the encouragement! I just didn't correctly assess the level of difficulty heading into it. Seemed doable...lol But yeah, generally I would avoid covering something that is super well known.

Yes, I definitely hear a L/R imbalance here too. Otherwise, it's sounding like a pretty good mix. I think you've improved a lot over the years as well mjb. You've got better balance level-wise, better clarity and focus to your tracks. It's great to come back here and see that people are making...

Yes, I found that surprising, as I always thought of his as a nasal, almost whiny kind of higher registered voice. In a typical grass is always greener kind of situation, most of my favorite vocalists over the years have higher, whinier voices...Wayne Coyne, Ozzy, Jerry Garcia, Lennon...damn...

CK is awesome. Interesting...yes. I'm going to get me a mezzo-soprano SG! Notice they don't list any famous or beloved bass vocalists...because there are none! Waaah! Wait, Rob Halford is a baritone? Rob freakin' Halford???

Thanks miro. You've given me some good things to think about. I'm really struggling with this now, so It's good just to hash it out, even if I don't do anything tangibly different, I have to think that writing and thinking about it might get me more focused next time it comes up. Honestly, my...

NP. I went there with gusto. But yeah...never heard of Bill Burr. That was genuinely hilarious.

God, I would love to have someone there to call out my bullshit takes in the moment! What a great thing that would be. LOL @ comfy reverb. On this lennon track, I was so fucking comfortable I might as well have been on an easy chair...limiter, compression, delay, reverb...you name it. There...

See, I never think of your voice as being particularly deep, but it's certainly not high either...hmmm. Now I'm confused. Does falsetto count? :)

Holy crap! That was really awesome. A bit mean, but the kind of thing we're all thinking but afraid to say. LOL @ I'll slap you so hard your eyes will look like mine! I dunno. I get what you're saying, but I just don't see it that way. I think jealousy and a desire to control are different...

I don't know what I am? lol In school I think I was whatever is just below a tenor? Decades of smoking and drinking have probably brought me down even further? My speaking voice is certainly deeper than anyone I ever hear...except maybe that guy from the old 7-up commercials? The voodoo dude...

Thanks miro. That certainly makes sense. I was thinking more in terms of the actual act of tracking, assuming you've already learned the part reasonably well, but to your point, the better you know it, the less you probably have to worry about the other stuff when the time comes.

Thanks man. Yeah, he is pretty whiny, but in a cool way if that's possible? lol Shit, you're so right! Actually both "hurt you" lines in that 2nd chorus are brutal! The 2nd one is like hu-ur-ur-ur-urt youuu" lol. Damn. Maybe I can find a better 2nd chorus from a prior take and paste it in...

I think it sounds awesome. Great pickin'! I listened to the original mix and am listening to mix 6 now. I guess I can kind of see what the others were saying about the solo instruments abruptly exiting, but I don't know that I would have picked up on it on my own? I don't even know the tune...

Nah, I just meant the tail end of the riff itself like at :08-:09...sounds like bending a tremolo arm, but not quite? lol Now I'm listening for the high pitched feedback.

Hi, For someone who isn't tone deaf, but does struggle at times with pitch, are there any recommendations during the tracking process to help with this? I used to just play the full mix at a healthy volume and belt it out which worked sometimes, but often not. I read some ideas here years ago...

Sounds like a tremendous mix to me. I think you're operating at a level where I probably have very little to offer. I think I remember some of your first tracks shared here, and if so, you've come a long way in a very short time. Bass sounds very even to me throughout. The performances are...

Thanks man. I appreciate the listen and the feedback. Plenty of consensus on the strings. Yeah, vocals are the issue I think. I knew that when I posted this. This is in the original key, I just think that lennon sings it an octave higher than I am able to. In retrospect, I probably should have...
