My Freddie Mercury's BARCELONA vocal cover

This is you singing over a backing/karaoke track from a bonus CD?
Are you after comments on how well your voice blends with the backing - in your mix of the two elements?
It's nearly impossible to make them fit well and whilst it's a brave attempt at singing such a bombastic Mercury track the results are only so so.
Live by your username - compose then record, then mix then post!
 
That's right rayc, it's me singing from the bonus track, I do it for fun, please don't think that my username makes me compose every single thing I cover, because I have a lot of cover songs using excellent backing tracks.

I'm the person replying the comments as well, all of them, sounds like you maybe have a problem with that? it was only a person anyway, and he really liked the sound, which made me feel proud and happy.

Ohh , maybe this wasn't the right section to post this, that's my bad :P.

See ya!
 
Clarification was needed as this is the MP3 Mixing Clinic.
Had it been to a backing that was manipulable I may have had suggestions for blending your voice with the instruments better. As it is I don't know anything useful about blending a voice into a stereo backing track.
I don't think there's anywhere specific for this sort of thing on HR so providing some info would be useful otherwise people will assume you're after clicks on utub or fbook.
Info about the program you used, the mic any effects etc are all handy for the commentator.
Keep singing & recording.
 
There are good bits and bad bits. The vibrato is a bit overdone. You seem to have quite good control, hitting the notes right and the vibrato is pretty tight, but in the quieter sections, your voice just sounds thin and unfocussed. The falsetto just sounds bad, I'm afraid. Did you warm up before singing this?
 
And you might have more success posting in the singing/vocal forum.
 
Have to agree with Mr. Deep as to the performance. Its a ballsy choice & you have a solid foundation to work with - just gotta practice your ass off & tame that vibrato. Sonically, the problem I have with it is the quality of the backing track It sounds like you got a hold of a badly encoded 128 Kbps mp3 file on which you layered your better sounding vocal tracks on top of. Just my opinion, but I think whenever taking disparate sources of media and throwing them together - especially adequate vs inadequate quality sounds - its important to meet the original source on its own terms. In other words, if I was going to take an old cassette tape of tracks I'd recorded pre-digital, I wouldn't mix in new HiQ digitally recorded tracks in with it. To me, it would be too disconcerting. It would make more sense to get a multitrack tape recorder & add tracks that way. To me it sounds too fake otherwise. Conversely, if you can't 'degrade' your performance to make it sound like it was part of the original recording, I'd wait till I could get a better quality source. GL!
