Hi, Donny. I see I'm quite late for this train, but I'm glad I finally made it on board. Mellow and laid back. smile I would have liked the vocals a bit louder, though. You've got a pleasant voice.

Hi, Elliot. Love the song, and everything about it... except what the pitch correction is doing to the vocals. It has a sort of "hollow" electronic sound. Now, I'm a big fan of doing whatever I can to my vocals to make them better than they actually are, and I've used Melodyne and several other pitch correction tools to boot. So I'm not against using pitch correction at all, if needed. I'm guessing that you duplicated the melody line in Melodyne and turned it into a harmony, because the two vocal lines are tracking so closely. That (and not just Melodyne) are probably what's causing that sound. As a rule, you should try singing the line again, and use that take to create the harmony. It's OK if the rhythm is slightly different, too - that'll give it some independence. And even though you're applying pitch correction, don't make it 100% - dial it back a bit, because you want them to keep some differences. I suspect you already know all this, but... well, just in case. wink Anyway, I really liked the song. Easy on the ears, nicely sung, good arrangement. Simple and to the point.

Re: Saying goodbye to old gear eddie1261 03/23/24 02:52 AM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I DO remember women. Vaguely... but I remember. Best I can do for a sax is my mid 60s King alto. I bought it mainly because my father, who worked at HN White, then when it became King, had a hand in building it. However, as time passes and sentimentality fades it has long since lost any emotional value. Plus, he never really liked me much as an adult, so... I mainly want to sell my stuff myself. My executor won't know what has value and what doesn’t. My keyboards, mixer, amp, stands et al should bring in over 5000, which goes to the mortgage. That is my quest now, to eat away as much of Mount Mortgage as possible. Slowly but surely most of it will go on to Reverb.

Nigel, you nailed it. Your vocal was a lot like Satchmo's vocal however the trumpet wasn't, but it did not detract from this song. Super groove and mix. PS - I though we were not supposed to list the artists names, just the RTs. The artist didn't actually play during your "session" and I wonder if there may be some repercussions for PGM from some artists. I say this in all due respect. If I am wrong someone can correct me.

Chris, this sounds exactly like some of the folk artists I listened to in a small cafe near me, way back in the mid 1960s. Great arrangement. Super synth vocal.

Carl, this is really great. Sweet guitar tone. As usual super chops. great mix. As far as drum programming you might want to start in BiaB using a MIDI drum track. You can then modify it to your liking. Been there - do that all the time.

Yes Steve it is basic music theory. I took a quick look at his courses and I think you could benefit from them; actually anyone wanting to learn basic music theory could learn from them IMO. He states that course #1 starts out assuming the student knows nothing about music theory. You might want to look into it. Music theory can benefit any musician.

You defiantly found the right key because the voice soars. I can see why you lowered the key: it would have been a bit irritating that high. Awesome production. The rhythm section worked out well. Good work putting all those many elements together. I love the strings.
