    Hi all

    Here are some rough vocal demos I did.I think the mix is a bit off. Also on track 3 "A Team" the vocals came out in mono. I think I fcuked it up whilst adding the vocal track.
    Any tips from what I have done already

    http://soundcloud.com/luckycharms74/sets/demos-914

    P.S. Whats the deal regarding copyrights to covers. They are not for commercial release just for my own amusement ???

    Here are some of the tracks I've been involved in in the last while.
    They're in no particular order, some are a couple of years old , some mastered, some not.

    The main thing in common is I mixed them all.

    *EDIT* - MODS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MOVE TO EQUIVILANT THREAD IN DANCE MUSIC PRODUCTION - SORRY I EFFED THAT UP!

    I'm a musician so when I saw the RTE performance comp advertised in July i figured why not throw em something different.

    Here's my attempt at Drum & Bass-ish style tunage using live instruments for the competition

    Be interested in hearing your opinions please, if you'd care to take a minute. Only really got one so far off a mate, who loved it, but he is really enthusiastic about everything!

    This is my latest demo effort. I'm still struggling to get to grips with my recording equipment. On some earphones it sounds fine and others muffled. Let me know what you think. Thanks for listening as always.

    A recent 're'mix of a track by J90 using the Cranesong Phoenix plugin on every track .

    You need to put a kick drum sample on that kick (you don't have to tell anyone) - there's no push or pump in it. And I think you've got a lot of room to go with something there. More something you can feel than necessarily hear. Put a three band eq on the mix - switch off the mid and high - and there you should hear a rhythmic push and groove. If it's not there, add something to the kick, and you can put a little side chain on the bass - but don't have the side chain on where the bass comes down with the downbeat. When you put everything back on, the groove will still be there.

    I think your tambourine and hi-hats are bit high and harsh - I think they're cutting too much into your vocals - which you're going for that Def Leopard effect - aren't you?

    There's bit in there where the drummer does 16ths on hi-hats. You should remove that bit........For the simple reason, I absolutely hate it when drummers do that. No one is impressed.

    What's that really interesting bass around 2.13?

    Ha, must make a note of that. :D

    Not a huge fan of the track songwise in all honesty Paul. The singer sounds like he's had a can of Monster or five.

    That singing style is far too hyper and would honestly irritate me after a short period. However there is something infectious about the "woah-ah, woah-ah" bits in the track. Actually considerably so.

    Production wise I didn't like the filter you put the vocal through at 2.09. Something not right about the tone of it.

    Also the lyric, "Look at this, I'm a wiz, I'm the biz", with the emphasis on biiiiiiiiiz isn't doing the track any favours, seriously. Came across as lame, even for a track that's looking to be shamelessly catchy.

    That's a good bit harsher than I would normally critique something but hopefully you take something out of it, the band too. The woah bits have potential no doubt.

    I like where the kick and bass are actually - so on that we'll disagree. I agree that the highs are gone a bit harsh - however that's not in the wav I uploaded so I'd be happy enough with that too. I had no input into it musically - in fact I believe that it was recorded around 3 years ago.

    There's no filter at 2.09 ? There is a filter on one line to knock it back behind the main vox at 1.24. I know what you're saying about the 'biz' but as I say I mixed what I got.

    From my point of view in terms of what I received to where it is now I'd be happy with it.

    It was an experiment in using some new plugins too, namely the maag EQ4, and the Waves PuigTec which is on the stereo mix and the above mentioned Cranesong which has glued up the low end - it sounds large and tight in Joe's Range Rover !

    Even the criticisms here are just on details - one can't, as we all know, keep everyone happy ;)

    Sorry got mixed up with filters, i meant whatever effect you added to his voice there.

    Same track ! However this time instead of just dropping the Cransesong Phoenix onto every track and pressing 'burn' I've had a listen to how it's effecting EQs etc.

    This time there's a little less crunchiness going on and a bit more space.

    Heyy Everyone!

    I like the cars one a lot... are you a Moby fan by any chance!!?? Or muse? The payback / crechendo (sp?) is ace. Nice time sig phrasing in there. Clearly you know what you;re at.

    Sound wise - Nicely produced as well.... I am not so sure about the arrangement but that's my silly just nit picking - it's a really decent track.

    I like the spoken word sampling as well... this is not at all as popular now as it used to be for some reason

    Thanks for listening Mr King. I loved that album Play when it was about, but other than Ive not listened to Moby too much. Muse however, are directly responsible for the synth arpeggios inn heavy slow sections!

    Thanks for your comments

    The biggest niggle for me with these recordings is that there is hardly any kik and snare.. So when the song kicks in, its not really KICKING IN (if you know what i mean?), its all high hats.

    Other than that, the tunes have a nice retro feel without feeling pastiche. Although as the styles are so varied, the EP could be accused of being in-cohesive or disparate, but at least you're not a one trick pony.

    Pigeon of Life stands out to me as being the most original and interesting song, kinda reminds me of 'A Storm in Heaven' era Verve. I'd just like to hear the vocals stand out abit more. Free Yourself needs the most work; it sounds like it was mixed in a hurry by the guitarist. The guitar dominates all the frequencies, the drums are lost in the background somewhere and the singer sounds as though hes in another room down the corridor. It sounds like a descent tune, its just the mix isnt doing it justice.

    Hey, looking for opinions on this.
    It's being played live using loops triggered through Ableton and mixed with live guitar*.

    L and R is premixed on ableton and being recorded straight into a DAW and guitar is DI'ed in also. A little bit of mixing of the 3 tracks and a small bit of mastering.

    It's all a new venture at the moment, the idea being that this is how it will be heard live. Just looking for any opinions or comments as I'm making it up as I go along :D

    Thanks.

    As an instrumental project its excellent. Whats the plan with it? I was listening to it and waiting for vocals...then I re-read ur post and its a "project", not a band.

    As such, instrumental music is hard to place, apart from the fun of doing it itself...If you want to develop it, could you throw it out to a few avant garde/experimental singers, see what comes back at ya?

    No plan yet, really - I want to get a singer and a drummer though. It needs vocals, plus I want to get a good drummer to work with so I can concentrate on the guitars & structure more - at the moment I can't give them my full attention because I'm spending time doing the drum tracks too and it's just too much to be doing. Plus, I write better when jamming...

    @DB Sound. very good all round, inc vocals.

    The issue with a lot of new recordings is that they are numerous and a lot are very good, but with very few media outlets to be heard.

    The crux of the matter is getting a stage show/live act to get the music out there...

    Maybe you're not bothered about that side of the industry and just want feedback on the quality of the production? In that case, its very good.
