And therein lies the key to being a good singer. Every singer
(sans melodyne) has limitations and learning to recognize them
and focus on working within those limits is IMHO what makes
singers interesting. Some of our absolute favorite singers
have funky voices or limited ranges or both but we love
them because they sing with soul and conviction.

ake care. Greg


Greg pretty much hit right on our feelings. Keep doing what you are
doing and don't sweat the voice. I'd rather hear a "soulful heartfelt
voice" than a gritty rock voice going through the motions. And like
Greg said throw in some reverb on the vocal or better yet get
a vocal effect suite like Nectar 2 and find what works best for you
voice. Not to really change it but enhance what you like about it.

We enjoyed the song!

Thanks Janice and Bud for taking the time to listen and for your advice as regards vocals. I have nectar but going through the presets in the past haven't found anything that made it sound better, maybe its time to have another look, or should that be listen.

This is what makes this forum so worthwhile to get feedback, from people such as yourselves who live and breathe music and to get good advice as regards recording and vocal techniques.

Really appreciate it,
many thanks

I've found the "soulful and natural" preset to be a great starting point for vocals unless you are really going for a rock sound and then the "rock bite" is a good place to jump off...but I don't know if you are using Nectar 2 or not. And, hey, thanks for the compliment but we really don't spend a lot of time making music. So take any advice from me with the proverbial grain of salt.
Again, nice song!



Thanks Janice and Bud for the follow up about nectar 2 which I do have, will certainly experiment more with it especially the presets that you mention.

Thank you
