I've always tried to write songs and look for someone to sing them, but it's always hard to find someone who gets the vocals the way I had imagined, so I always have a bunch of vocal-less songs.
I took a different approach this time and decided to look for some songwriters that already have songs written so I could just record/produce the songs. So this song is not the metal I'm used to recording. In fact, it's far from it.
I recorded this song this weekend. She is playing the piano and singing, and my job is just to fill in the rest. I figured for this song, I would just add strings. I'm pretty much done, except for the verses and bridge, but I want to get some feedback on the vocals and of course the fake strings.
Being that I rarely record vocals, it's not really second nature for me to get the compression or eq settings right, so there is a lot of experimenting going on. She was sick when she sang this, so she's going to retrack the vocals later.
What would you suggest I do differently for the real vocal recording? Also, the string parts that I have finished, I need to know if they sound ok. Too fake? Too boring?
Any feedback is always helpful.
