Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this since it is not a finished mix. That said, for my latest cover I was wondering if anyone can give me guidance on how I can gain more presence to my vocal? I feel pretty good about the vocal takes I've got from the source with this but I feel my voice still lacks presence. Currently I have a compressor, de-esser, reductive eq (picture below), and additive eq (picture below) and have bussed a hard compressed plate reverb and tape delay to try and create presence. Still doesn't seem to be working. What can I do from here? Thanks.
I have posted both the original artists verse 1 and my own verse 1 for an A/B. It is clear to notice the presence in the original's vocal that is lacking in mine. I am aware that my chorus is still lacking harmonies. Thanks.
Original song:
Playing: Somotrack.mp3 - picosong
