FreeEarCandy Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think the vocals sound a bit boxed. Perhaps widen them a little and see what happens. It just may do the trick and sound louder as Tom suggested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Screed Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Now this is something I can relate to in my own little way. What effects did you use on the vocal? Did you play the guitar? I like the way it has different comings and goings. Very cool and inspiring. It is a great message if you listen to the lyrics. This is cool, what do you call this style and who were some of your influences on this song? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) the vocals are actually from my original demo and i chopped them up and melodyned the crap out of them to get them to sound reasonably close. i was going to only use them as a reference and re-record them, but after listening to them, i thought, hey - these are kind of quirky in a good way so i'll leave them for now. mainly the only other effect was long delays on the "clean water" section and then reverb as part of the overall room. on the "viking march" at the end, the bom-boms - i used melodyne to drop them low and auto-panned them. i had done that in the demo and it was freakish so i had to keep the concept... update: using my Synth V vocals with background singers as well. in this recording - the instruments are all computer generated with some tweaking, except the solo. i used HookPad, Scaler, patterns, etc to create the tracks, and in HookPad where i used some instruments, i substituted some of those for other sounds. so when i started writing this song (or parts), it as 2016. then a close friend passed in 2018, and as i worked on it, i took some of the things that were part of our life experiences and shaped lyrics around that - our wiccan / earth magic beliefs, drunkeness / etc, blues music, etc and it seemed to stream together. i put the demo together (mainly played live on acoustic guitar and double bass) in 2019 but didn't really record it "proper" until late last year. --- yes i know Quetzalcoatl is mispronounced ?

Lynn Wilson Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 This is fresh and unexpected. You wrote a fabulous song and arranged it very cleverly. Your voice is great, and your processing of it is catchy. Count me as a fan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
