I've been trying to get my girlfriend to sing for far too long and she finally decided to do it!

What do you guys think?

Sounds very nice!Never heard the original but it would be nice if vocals are less digital sounding IMO

 

[Perishh]

Shit dude your dating Ellie Goulding???

The vocals sound really unnatural. REALLY autotuned (serious artifacts at times) and sounds like they're being punched in halfway through phrases.

Yeah I'm pretty new to auto tune in graph mode so I had a little trouble, been following some tutorials and this was the first time I tried it out!

haha nah I'm not mate! I'm sure she'll be happy with that comment, she loves Ellie Goulding

 

[GarethSE]

she has a fucking beautiful voice man, just ease up on the tunin'

 

[theforgotten]

Also try to mic the acoustic guitar to add more natural country/rock sound to the song!

 

[Connord00d]

forsure man shit is tight, she has an awesome voice too, ive used autotune and melodyne but ironically the vocal editing program in Cubase 5 has been so much easier and more natural sounding too me.

 

[setyouranchor]

Thanks very much guys! I need to get a little more practice on tuning vocals but I'm still happy so far

Mah lady also appreciates the kind words

Even this is boosting her confidence little by little

 

[chrisrivalry]

pretty niceee, whatcha use for the guitar? Also, interesting song choice considering you're in the UK haha

 

[Donovan S.]

Really loving her voice!

 

[Ionei]

Cool voice.

But it actually reminds me more of Justin Bieber than Ellie Goulding, hahahaha.

Cool though.

 

[donimoines]

hahahaha dude i was so tempted to say that, but i really like this, so i didnt want to relate at all..

 

[HollowmanPL]

Man, she has a beautiful voice, why did you smashed it with autotune?

Thanks a lot

hahahah Ellie Goulding is one of her favourite artists and I know this may lower the value of the song... but she has a soft sport for Bieber too... sadly

Man, she has a beautiful voice, why did you smashed it with autotune?

It wasnt actually smashed THAT much man, but its the first time of me using auto tune in graph mode, so its a bit sloppy and there are a hella load of weird artifacts!

Thanks mate, I used a Taylor 114ce, it was a friends I borrowed. Such a fucking lovely guitar to play, and to record. Its an electro acoustic so I just DI'd it rather than mic it up. It was only suppose to be a little cover to get her to sing! She wants to do a whole acoustic cover EP now haha

REQUESTS?!

 

[chrisrivalry]

waiting by city and colour, actually any song by city and colour in a chicks voice would be epic

we did consider a C&C song but a lot of it is depressing haha might do save your scissors actually.. i dunno

thats the point though, we want an acoustic cover EP, so it may be a little weird covering an already acoustic song!

 

[jipchen]

Lol she sounds like REALLY young Probably just the high pitch.
I like it a lot, though. But I agree on the autotune thing, it's too obvious (as is in the original song )

 

[SentencedToBurn]

its really funny listening to katy perry's stupid lyrics over a nice acoustic song.
