Nothing wrong with your voice Powderman. Great warm voice, and it has so to speak a tear and a smile inside of it in the same time. You could use a bit more air from the belly and make the airflow steady and stronger to keep the voice more stable, but in your sound I have nothing to say but: great sound!

Actually I wrote a long response, but then I was all of a sudden automatically logged out when entering the story, sad for me, lucky all of you. I will not all type it again. But I give the short version.

About what the others said:
0:04 seconds, weird stop: nah, just a normal stop i.m.o.
0:07 seconds, weird stop: yep, agree there
0:27 seconds, dropout:huh? I don't hear a dip there?
compression: yes, some, but don't overcompress.
delay: possible, but be careful, it can also make a muddy mix in the end. I would prefer backings without any effects for that matter, and with a roll off of low frequencies to make them weigh light. Since the instrument allready fill up quite some I think it might not even need backings at all...
realtracks drums That or a change of drum kit (the rock snare doesnot really fit in I think and a bit too much toms that sound the same each short break)

Anywayyyyyy....
Doubling of voices is not a stranger in music world, it happens quite often, but there are some things, besides the question if it really adds something to the song, to consider: As in this song I can't walk away from the fact that there seems to be some phaseproblems going on. I don't know for sure what exactly caused it, maybe you used a delay, or maybe just the coincidence of two almost similar tracks cancelling and emphasizing eachother from time to time. It might be even your head turning to read the lyrics and that way giving me that impression because you are softer and harder in volume throughout the whole song. Anyway when the waveform is exactly the same or also almost the same, a small difference in phase of the wave can cause trouble. In this case a doubled (copied) track with a small delay might be easier to deal with, since they are identical and therefor better to manipulate. Although I think you don't need to double with your voice on this track.

So my conclusion. Toucher said the most of it: some compression to make the voice stand out and maybe some reverb to create the feeling of space. Finally I would want to suggest a little bit of EQ in the higher frequencies (like at 2kHz and above) to create a bit more clarity in the sound, which helps the voice to be more present as well as the pronounciation becomes more clear.


Can you guys believe it? This is the very short version of my previous input. I bet this allready bored you all into oblivious didn't it? Guys? Hello? Wake up guys, I am done!

I'll be back...
