I agree you have a great voice. However i have some personal critiques about the recording. In my opinion the guitar sounds thin, not full or warm enough, almost to where its unatural sounding. I dont like a very boomy guitar sound but i believe it should be full especially without a bass in there.
The vocals are very warm, but sound very distant. It sets well with just the guitars on the side but when you get cello and drum in there, it starts to sound like the singers behind everything. I think it should be the opposite. The cello and drum sound infront of the vocals. The violin at times also sounds strange, almost like a chorus or a phasing type thing going on. Makes them sound almost synthesised. Thats about all i can hear as far as mixing goes. Of course this might be your style and this might be what you were looking for, i dont know. But thats what im hearing based on my opinion.
The playing is very good, and i can tell good instruments were also used in this. it has a pretty nice shear sound too it that makes things fit well, but it doesnt really feel up the room with sound in my opinion.
The last comment i have to make deals with pretty much the entire mix, but especially the vocals. It sounds very blah and monotone. This really calls for more dynamic variety, and i say again, especially in the vocals. I dont know if its just because of how you played it, or if your totally squashing it all with a compressor. The vocals sound very squashed and pretty much lifeless. But my guess is this is the only way you could get it come through clear since it sound more distant and lacks presence. Im guessing you used your Dragonfly on the vocals, i can tell by the warmth.
I just noticed something else about the vocals while i was listening. I hear a distinct distortion in around the 2k-4k area. And this isnt just in the sibilance of the speech but it sounds more like a distortion. Can anyone else hear this? Did yah do some eq boost before the heavy compression?
Of course this is just my opinion. I think this would work really well, exept everything is kinda mono and sounds basically distant. You need to have something filling the room up. Maybe more present vocals and guitars. Doing that will also make the strings and drum part sound more like the rythm instead of the lead.
BTW. i like the reverb you have on there, its not in your face and it nice round and warm.
Anyway, thats my 2 cents. BTW come check out my studio sometime Dudley, im planning on doing some major work this saturday so come in sometime before or after.
oh yah, and if your still planning on getting rid of you C1, let me take it off your hands, i dont understand why ou would want to get rid of it.
danny
actually i like your last song so much i'm compiling a video of of my kid with it as the background music.
) I didn't find it horribly repetitive or anything... I thought it coulda been shortened a little maybe, or given a change-up here and there. But otherwise, it was fine... and the strings really make the recording... I wish I could put that stuff in all my junk.
