Vocals :-O

Post by fingersandbrain » Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:30 pm

Hello fellow peers,
I got a return for my vocals being "poorly recorded". Can I get some other opinions on the vocal quality? The song is "I Have no Resolutions"

thanks,

Hey Patrick, Cool song!

I think your vocals sound fine, especially for the singer/songwriter style song it is. Maybe the screener didn't think it quite fit what the listing company was looking for (not sure what the listing was.) You've got some great stuff and I'm sure it will find a home on another listing.

Hi Patrick - I listened to several tracks on your page and i loved 'em all! Really great stuff! The track you referenced sounds great, I thought the vocals started to get buried at some point about halfway through, maybe that's what they nicked you for? Dunno, just a thought...Love your tunes man, keep it up!

Hi

You have a nice voice.

Sounds bad at 1:33 and 1:38. Don't know if it is the harmony or not.

Also the mix isn't right in a few spots. Can't hear the vox.

When it quiets down again all is fine and no pitch problems.

Just a couple sour notes on a good song.

Just my take bud, and I am anything but talented.

When I post stuff, i want to hear from everybody regardless.

I bet this was very close to getting through.

Sincerely

Paul

Brain:
Overall, a nice vibe, but i did want the vocals more up front. Also, you should think about posting the lyrics, you'd probably get more responses . . . I especially wondered about the 401k line . . .
Liked th attirude and spirit, though.

here are the lyrics to the song->

I have no resolutions
I don't know what it means
But one day I'll be laughing louder so much louder than you
I don't know at this rate, because you're talking
directly to me.

1. 2. I have no clue

No one's chasing you except yourself
And you don't have a clue as to where to run to
just close your eyes, close your eyes
and you will see the way to go

So take your heap of money
Invest it into your 401k so that you're rich by the time your dead
I just don't know the reason,
but whatever helps you sleep at night my friend

No one's chasing you except yourself
And you don't have a clue as to where to run to
So close your eyes, close your eyes
And you will see the rain away

And so they say, you better act your age
or else you'll be the kid you were before
Who cares? Sometimes you do,
but don't let them fool cause it's all the same

No one's chasing you except yourself
And you don't have a clue as to where to run to
You used to close your eyes close your eyes and you would dream the day away.

No one's chasing you except yourself
And you don't have a clue as to where to run to
You used to close your eyes close your eyes and you would dream the day away.

I'd make a great screener because I would also return everything for the little things (except on my songs)

being that, when I don't record my vocals perfect it really bothers me

now you have done something that gets to me and thats the Zzzzzzzz and dssssssssssss, sssssss

You need a set up where this doesn't happen e.g. top mic or deesser

easy fix, nice track
If it wasn't for the good souls, life would not matter
