Your problem is not compression.... trust me.... it's the notes and timbre.... and possibly the recording technique (or lack of same...)

the notes and timbre. what are you talking about did you mispell a word or do i just not know what timbre means?

 

[alevy]

Uh... where do I begin....???

I listened to the 'acapella' link from your site....

Here's my opinion.... if I were to isolate the sound of the mic from the rest of the equipment, I would say the mic is fine. I don't think you ever responded to the original question of what you used as a source when you came up with your original meaningless post... When you started to blame your "cables", I nearly choked on my dinner.... that was funny... (I'm hoping you weren't serious....???) (I also thought it was funny when you mispelled "NeaumaNn"...)

Your voice however, is somewhat thin, and lacks depth. It is sibilant (look it up), and was judged as somewhat "grating", by myself, my wife and two 15 year old children, when listening over Event 20/20 BAS monitoring speakers, in an acoustically treated environment.

So, I have 3 suggestions..... listen closely....

1.) Go to school and learn how to spell.
2.) Take vocal lessons, and develop your voice into something musical, and worth listening to.
3.) Quit blaming your equipment.
4.) Learn (read this forum) about proper equipment paring, etc.

Good luck....

that's 4 suggestions. and seeing as you are typing I wouldn't be listening I would be reading... closely. and i much rather have a typo then to not be able to count to the #4 and im not singing idiot or even attempting to. it was a freestyle (its called rap music look it up) and im not blaming my equipment i was asking a question to eliminate and narrow what the problem is a exactly. i never claimed to know everything. hell i never proclaimed to know anything. i'm in here attempting to learn. and make my recordings better.

p.s. i really want to hear your music please! who are you anyway?

If they are all doing similar material, rapping, the spectrums will all look the same. Nobody is bashing your music, just giving you reasons why your mixes come out the way they do, and why the spectrums look the way they look.

even though it's all rap all of the voices are totally diffrent. the tempo may be similar but the voices are totally diffrent. thanks mr. easychair. any other ideas. as you can see im at a lost.

timbre = tone.

What some folks are trying to tell you is that your rap example uses the same melody note (i.e., pitch; i.e., frequency) over and over again. Pretend for a moment it is a G note. You are rapping that "G" note over and over again. It's like hitting the same key on the piano over and over again. That generates the same frequency response over and over again.

No one is dissing you for doing this. Indeed, it's a normal trait in rap music. On the ohter hand, virtually all other music on the planet (current and historical) uses different pitches for its melodic content. You know, DO-RE-MI-FA-SO-LA-TI-DO. When a vocalist uses these different pitches while singing, the frequency reponse on the graph changes too.

One term used to describe what you are doing is "MONOTONE". Again, there's nothing wrong with it.

Comprendé?

o okay you learn something new everydyay thanks.

 

[alevy]

1 entry found for timbre.
timbre

n : (music) the distinctive property of a complex sound (a voice or noise or musical sound); "the timbre of her soprano was rich and lovely"; "the muffled tones of the broken bell summoned them to meet" [syn: timber, quality, tone]

 

[alevy]

kool thats my word of the day

 

[Farview]

so when you talk to people you tell people A capella. yeah right. knowledge is nothing if you don't use correctly.

You are pronouncing it right, but it is 2 words. It's Italian, like most musical terminology. Yes, knowledge is good.

 

[Farview]

the notes and timbre. what are you talking about did you mispell a word or do i just not know what timbre means?

Timbre (that too, is italian) mean kind of the same as tone. They aren't quite interchangable, but close. It is pronounced tambr.

 

[fraserhutch]

u obviously dont have a valid opinion.lol

and also it's not a poem hint "acapella" it's a rap song. post some of ya music so i can bash it. you guys kill me.

I never said anything about a poem, where did that come from? I'm a trained musician, dude, I know what acapella is. And what timbre is, for that matter. And if your music has anaccompaniment, it's not acapella. The generally accepted defintion of a capella, or acapella (US spelling), is "singing without instruments".

And of course I don't have a valid opinion about your music cause I haven't listened to it. Why would I want to if you are going to disregard my opinion anyways like you did all others? That's what I was getting at. Where did you get that I was bashing your music? I was talking about your attitude.

 

[alevy]

i got you. i didn't learn whats wrong with my set up but i learned a new word and the origin of another.

i have no attitude what so ever guy. if you didn't say anything about a poem then there's a strong chance i wasn't talking to you. duhh. i have taken into consideration everyones opinions. half of the people who responded didn't listen to the acappella. all i asked them to do was listen, so that they could tell me what the problem may be. if you didn't listen you can't give an accurate opinon. thats like going to a mechanic and telling him your car is broken and the mechanic saying you need a new engine....what the hell.... he never looked at it to see how can you just assume. people gave me random comments for the hell of it. so i ignored them. or either told them what i did so that i could get another possible suggestion. like i said im just trying to make better recordings.

 

[fraserhutch]

i have no attitude what so ever guy.

lol, whatever you say.

 

[alevy]

lol, whatever you say.

if you say so guy

Would that be equipment paring or pairing?

 

[turnitdown]

Uh... "pairing".... "paring" would involve a small knife....

 

[robin watson]

Unless of course you shave your equipment, but that's your business.

 

[turnitdown]

Huh??? You lost us on that one....
