Still some things to work out with the performance, but can anyone comment on the vocal / piano mix? Should be so simple, right? But that is far from the truth.
That is a mighty fine cover of Fly Me To The Moon! First, huge points for even attempting something Frank did so beautifully. And second, well, you did a damn fine job of singing, playing and mixing! You can be proud of this one.
This was a bucket list song for me to cover. I have tried in the past to sing this, but with no success. It is generally up tempo and swings hard, but this more straight/slow version, with solo piano backing (which is avialable), seemed to call to me.
Plus I have recently discovered a new (free) Reverb plugin (REmatrix) which, to my ear, works well with my voice. And I have a bit more experience now with Isotope's Nectar and Ozone and Neutron to feel like I can now hear what these tools are doing.
Yes, I like the idea of volume automation of the solo section. Done. Also a little more work in Melodyn to fix some pitch. Then I took some left-over vocal takes and made another full track. Panned the original vocal track hard left and put the new vocal track hard right. Essentially full unison singing with exception of a time I went for the high note on the orginal vocal and not a second time. Too much? Should I have stopped when I was ahead?
