Your (her) version of "Bring me to Life" was better than the original. Gave me goosebumps..... Fantastic...

Did you change this since i last listened? It seems you did. The hi hat doesnt seem to be ripping my ears open any more. Its still a bit thin and high end but its smoothed out alot.
And i hear the back up vocals more now. Its like you have a vocoder going. Sounds pretty cool
. But you dont like a robot.
You might not have changed a thing and it might be that my ears are just a little fresher now. I dunno. But it does sound a bit different.
I think you could fix those drums up a bit. At least i dont think you could make them much worse. Theres alot of high end in there thats above where it needs to be. Consider a high cut at about 14000KHz. Might not work but it might help smooth some stuff out with those drums and might make the snare stand out a little because you will be able to get a little more volume without the high hat ripping your head off. And i would personally add a bit of compression on the drum mix. I wouldnt squash it but enough to get that snare out a bit. Try doing a 2.5 decibal cut at 8KHz with a .5 Q if you have parametric. If graphic just make a pretty rounded out curce with 8Khz the center. Then boost at around 200Hz about 2dbs. maybe more with 1 Q. If it doesnt work to well there try a little higher at 250Hz.
What is it with drummers that think the only tone their drums produce are high frequencies and nothing else.
Anyway, might not work at all but thats what i would have tried first of all if i was trying to fix up those drums.
BTW i brought up the advice about not letting it get to her head because of personal experience
. Not because im an awesome parent .

Yeah, I did. I'm not sure when you listened, but I uploaded a new mix this morning with 80% of your advice in it. Also added some guitars (thank you "wireneck") in the choruses to make it a bit more poppy. I just updated the main link a few minutes ago, but if it had electric guitars in it, then it was a new mix. Thanks again for the ears man. (I was just ribbing you on the parenting thing...she doesn't even read this stuff; As a 14 year-old girl, she has confidence in exactly one area of her life, and this is it, so I try to pat her on the back whenever I candarnold said:
).turnitdown - hehehee...thanks. I can't take credit for anything on that cover - it was for a radio contest, so it was basically a Karaoke track. I'm in there some, but I'm not saying where, LOL. She won, by the way...then got disqualified for being 3 years too young, LOL.

Yah im pretty sure its a new mix then. Glad my advice helped out. I think your going to use autotune like that, go big or go home. If you make it your style then no one will even wonder if its considered a bad thing in the audio engineering world . Just act like you dont really need it but you do it because you "like it" that way .
Hey, do you think Michael Jackson got to where he is today by getting pats on the back? Come on man! Throw out some of that mental abuse.
Nah dont be that extreme because i know you dont want her to be that close to where michael jackons at. Just stop at the fame and money part.
Anyway, back to the subject. This is where its a good time to have good drum samples with a good drum programmer. Drumkit from Hell style.
Its just too bad the drums arnt on seperate tracks so you could send them to me and i could drumagog them up with some nice samples or something
