No, that's better than any compressor! Vocal mic technique is hard to find. Keep doing it!

I'll keep doing it, but I need to buckle down and get a little more disciplined at it now that you spotted some fluctuations.:D
 
Thoughts on hypnotized:


Nice balance. Each part is heard clearly and has its own space. Very good EQ. Whatre you monitoring with?


What I would change:

The guitar tone in the beginning. Sounds outdated and cliche as does the intro rif.

The vocal doubling is too obvious. I would pan and lower the second vocal more. The vocals are good and up front but too dry. I can hear you put reverb on the harmonies, just enough so that theres space but the main vocal is too dry. Theres also some kind of chorus effect on them that kind of makes it wet and dull at the same time but doesnt work. It kills the presence. I would pull out the vocals at 2.9k and 9k-12k. Good confident singing.

Didnt care much for the song or style overall but there are some nice shifts, nice vocal phrasing and good melodic variations on the chorus.

JuSumPilgrim,
Thanks for your comments!They are much appreciated!;)

There isnt any chorus on the vocals.It's probably the obvious doubling that you mentioned!:D

Im gonna re-record the whole thing and post the results when it's done.This is just a scetch of the tune that allowed me to get some much needed feedback and ideas.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen.;)
 
ITS SCARY. YOUR RIGHT FIRST YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
MUSICAL IDEAL




POOTPIE
 
haha pootie...I get the link...:rolleyes:

in your case, you might consider being able to play an instrument equally as important too.

looking for 'verbal sparring' with some of the talant around here, you'd be better off staying under your rock.

no...and good choice on a constructive use of time;)
 
There's a hot lead!

Love that guitar tone, dude. Yup. That's an SR-16 :D Excellent levels. Despite that being the SR16, that kick definitely "thumps ya in the chest" like Blue Bear (Bruce) says. The lows in the vocals are just a tad, tad murky heavy (and that's being really picky). Another guitar god to bow to; first VOXVENDOR, now you ;) A guitar god that can mix? You're dangerous! :p

Nice song!!

KRAMER,

As we have crossed paths and reading some of your obnoxious posts, I have come to the conclusion that you are a typically frustrated, self loathing, condescending, mean Musician.

BUT MY GOD IS THIS FUCKING SONG GREAT.

FLAWLESS GUITAR PLAYING !!!

GREAT SINGING !!!!!!

GREAT HARMONIES !!!!!

FABULOUS RECORDING QUALITY THAT I HOPE TO ONE DAY ACHIEVE !!!!!

I still think your a dick, but boy do you do music right.

Whoa

K.......

a musician after my own heart.
I thought the bass fit well.
I started thinking about Elvin Bishop with Duck on Bass
"Raisin Hell" I think the album was called.
Had the R&B with a touch of funk from the bass.
I'm honored you replied to my post.
