Barry Seymour Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Going out on a limb here with something different. Still undecided about the sound quality of the vocals, may tweak that more. Suggestions welcome! EDIT: Final Mix! Edited February 18 by Barry Seymour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSband Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Sounds like we are back in the 80's. The vocals have a harsh high mid that made me turn down the volume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, still trying to figure out how I want to handle that. It's more harsh than I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Cool song. Great lyrics. Regarding the vocals.. Isn't it just do them as you normally would then add a high pass and low pass filter to you get the effect you want. Then add saturation to make them pop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Barry . . . it starts with that AM radio broadcast, then the vocals come in accentuating those very same AM radio frequencies., probably too much 1-5K. @garybrun suggestion will help this a lot. Interesting that the lyrics are all so clear to understand, but not pleasing to the ear in that middle range, it's a delicate balance. It is a bit different for you, more synth driven, than guitar driven . . . good song idea, and really liked the lyrics . . . fix that vocal mix, and you've got another winner ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked on this last night. I had applied a voice doubler to the track (just two voices) and a guitar amp - that latter made it really harsh. I took the guitar amp off, tried the 'AM Radio' EQ and that didn't work either. I ended up doing just the opposite - boosted the bass a bit and the treble a LOT and it works. It's clear, it cuts through a bit, but it's not so harsh. I also backed down the vocal volume a bit so it sits in the mix better. I'm at work now, will post that mix in a few hours. Thanks, @noynekker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Barry, this is a terrific song! I like that you are willing to experiment with styles because it keeps you from being predictable. I like the vocals in the version I just listened to. Keep it up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally qualify my efforts by admitting "my music is 50 years out of date." Well, with this song, I'm up to being only 40 years out of date. 😂 Thanks for the compliment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
