I hate mixing my own vocals!!!

[Felix Neumann]

Hi dudes


It´s not possible to be objective about own vocals. I absolutely don´t know, if this is any good, what I did in the last 100 hours Fuck! Maybe you can help me a bit out by rating my mix and vocal performance.

This clip is just the half of the song (Dark Tower Project -chapter1) and it ends at the solo section.

Here we go:

The World has moved again

What do you think about it so far?

 

[ATLA]

definitely think the vocals could sound a bit stronger.. not so much in tone but placement.. its hard to put my finger on it. you have a great voice and it fit's the song. But i also think you are capable of making it sound better. Just my two cent's! sounds great so far keep it up!

 

[Dexter_prog]

I think the vocals are ok, but they need a little more vibe. It still seems like you have potential and I really like how you sing!

 

[Felix Neumann]

Thanks for your opinion, dudes I appreciate it! Hmmm how could I improve my performance? Would you sing more theatralic?

I would try to add more reverb and delay and make the dry track just a bit louder, I don't think there is nothing majorly wrong with the performance itself. Doubling also could give it a nice vibe

 

[Felix Neumann]

Thanks Anssi Okay think you´re right, I will try adding some more room for it!

[Pedro Teixeira]

Yeah, in certain parts it could use some more layering, giving a more exciting feel! Also a bit more verb and a stereo delay mixed pretty low would give a much deeper ambiance! But great performance dude! And obviously the song is awesome

 

[Jaymz]

I think this sounds awesome!!

Thank you very, very much I´ll take it into account for the next (and hopefully the last) mixing session. It´s good to hear that, man!

I think this sounds awesome!!

@The_Shred! This means a lot to me!! Thank you. Still diggin´ your stuff a fucking lot, man

I cannot wait to show you the entire, finished version with lead contributions of Metaltastic, Gavin and Keregioz! This will be the first song of 7 songs for a concept album about Stephen King´s "The dark Tower"

Love the voice and the track ! Just maybe in the beginning a touch of ERs and verb would help it sound a bit more alive. Great stuff nontheless !

Heeeey it´s good to hear that, man. Thanks a lot Btw I just listen to your song in repeat. Awesome!

Awesome !!

And also i feel for you dude as far as mixing your own voice....I do all the vocals on the track i posted and yeah its extremely hard to detach yourself from them and look at them as just another piece to the mix... Instead i just end up over analyzing everything....

good stuff though dude.....that acoustic sounds amazing too

 

[Nebulous]

Well you can trust your judgement when it comes to the pitch, that seems to be fine. It could sound better with abit more production (FX, doubling).
Nice work dude.

@Zombietakeover, absolutely. When I see the files..this could be about 100 takes I tryed. Nobody is as strictly about the voice as the voice´s owner. That is a curse!!

Thanks for your words, dude!

Thanks @Nebulous! Yeah, I will work on it today. Thanks for your time to listen to my stuff

Haha...try telling that to my singer...one time I had him repeating the word "manipulate" for over an hour until he got the accent right!...

Anyway...about the song, I believe the vocal performance is pretty good. I agree with the other about not sitting well in the mix though.

Hahaha yeah, this is all not too easy

I worked on the mix today and so I can say, I finished it so far..needed a bit more reverb and very little delay and now it´s pretty okay. The only thing I need is the solo of Marcus and Gavin. WHAT´S UP, DUDES? Hows the progress?
