Members draelyc Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 After much wrangling & re-recording, I think I managed to croak out something that's okay. Worked on the mix a bit, too. Hopefully, it's at least getting there... For A Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundgardener75 Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 About to listen to this one bro, just listened to Go Lassie and Where Peaceful Waters Flow on your SoundCloud. Go Lassie is perfect as is, WPWF is awesome! Reminds me of The Byrds a lot, if you can borrow a 12-string acoustic to layer them, that would rule! EDIT: Saw the link to other thread. Reposting this there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sex Panther Posted December 25, 2012 Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 Sounds good to me. You have an interesting voice. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I'm basically a folk singer trying to fake like I can sing the rock and/or roll, but whatever the case, I really appreciate your checking out the tune & commenting.

Members koen77 Posted December 25, 2012 Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 While not my genre of music, it's very listenable and you can hold a tune well. I would throw in some grit (vocal fry) here and there to rough it up, but overall well done, sir ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted December 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks, man! Yeah, I'm still trying to learn how to do that vocal grit, so I'll definitely keep working on that. Thanks for listening & for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marshallnoise Posted December 25, 2012 Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 Chris, it sounds good. The one thing I think would really help your vocals would be tons of compression and bumping the levels to compensate. That way the dips and drops as you go up and down your range would be more even. This also should make it easier for your vocals to sit on top of the mix as opposed to in it. Kind of a Nashville thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good tip, too ... there's a way to edit the built in compression in the recording deck's mic preamp, and I've messed with the settings a bit, but I still haven't found the perfect combination just yet. Something else I gotta keep working on. I very much appreciate the feedback -- thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DoubleBarrel Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 Not bad, but could be better. Waiting for Tomorrow is still my favorite of all the stuff you've done. You still need to work on your vocal lines imho. Find someone who is a vocalist only, and have them work with you on melody lines and harmonies/back up vocals. Your vocal style screams guitar player just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted December 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well I *am* a guitar player! But point taken, & thanks for the feedback. Sadly, at the moment this tune sounds a lot better than Waiting for Tomorrow (still one of my favorites, too ), as I've been trying to get a better mix of that one & so far I've only managed to bollix it up but good. Oh well, here's to a flat line of a learning curve... Thanks for checking out the clip, mang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
