DeeringAmps Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 That was stunning! I’ve been a huge fan since the first time I heard your work. Your midi orchestration is always amazing. You’ve upped your game on the video side. And the vocal on this is outstanding! So beautiful… 👍’s 👏 t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybrun Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Very nice Jerry What reverb system do you use? When I listen some parts of the vocal is there clipping/peaking on the compression/limiter? 02.13 + Could be my system as my disk is working a little-- will check again later.

Hi Gary, Yes, I think there is a very tiny amount of clipping at that point. I discussed with my vocalist and we decided it wasn't enough to re-record the track. Your system may also be contributing as I am listening right now over headphones on my laptop and to my ear it's not enough to detract from her expression and beautiful voice. I don't think it's the reverb (Lexicon plate plugin) but rather in the recording itself. We took 8 takes of that section and the one I chose is the best overall in terms of expression, phrasing and diction. Leandra has a very powerful voice (she sings with the San Francisco Opera)! I had my compression set to 4:1, kicking in at -2dB, but somehow her voice overwhelmed it As the saying goes, the perfect is the enemy of the good, so unless we can re-record it at another time, I will leave it for now. By the way, if you are listening with Dolby Atmos, it will definitely cause issues. Atmos screws up every recording I make. Unless a recording is made with it, it absolutely sucks. I turned it off on my laptop as it's useless for music that is recorded without it. Best, Jerry Edited October 29 by Jerry Gerber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Hi Jerry I'm just listening on my Focal Trio system. So you knew it was there... I didn't until I heard it 🙂 I checked again... without the hard disk going at the time as I was copying something to HDD My C drive SSD so I wont get it from there. (That's good... shows my system is working well 🙂) I am learning how to critical listen. I didn't want to detract from your composition.. and my question about your reverb was because I liked it. I also agree with your comments on your singers ability. Great job and I have always liked your work. Gary Edited October 29 by garybrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Jerry, just what I needed to get my mind off politics and return to what's really important. Love the music and the vocalist. So you kind of inspired me to dabble in astrophotography, though not to the extent that you do. I bought a SeeStar S50, a "smart" telescope that does just about everything for you. I've been able to get some fairly nice images of deep sky objects from my back yard which just blows my mind. Had no idea that could be done. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Hey Gary, Do you think I should ask my vocalist to re-record the places where there's some clipping? Did it detract from the artistic communication? I'm wondering because if you heard it others with trained ears will also... Thanks, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it distracted from the artist communication at all. If you want to send me the vocal.. I might be able to fix it for you.

The most difficult challenge I faced are the sky conditions where I live in San Francisco, California. Nearly constant fog and wind (I don't live far from the coast) became very discouraging. So I put my 130mm refractor at a dark sky site in New Mexico, about 900 miles from where I live and I control everything now remotely by computer. I don't have to carry equipment and set up every time I image, it's all ready to go on a permanent pier. Glad you enjoyed the piece!

I want to first talk to Leandra (the singer) to see what she thinks. Personally I don't think it's a problem at all but I don't want others to think it is if it detracts from the piece. On the other hand, my critics are going to be my critics no matter what I do, so there's that to consider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
