Honest opinion of my friend

I have some pretty cool recording equipment in my apartment and my friend tested it out today:

Whatcha think?

 

[olds]

Sorry

 

[JEDIYoda]

sorry...

 

[Eli]

I didn't think it was that bad..

 

[Red Squirrel]

Sounds good to me. The reverb effects add an extra touch.

 

[JSt0rm]

back to work.

 

[JSt0rm]

oh and the reverb is BAD.

you need a nice reverb if you want to do this kind of thing

Hence why it's called "messing". Was just farking around.

 

[Doppel]

can't speak to the music much but his voice is pretty good.

I'm the one playing piano. Do you think the piano playing is bad or you just think the song choice isn't your style?

 

[Leros]

I thought the Piano was good. I don't care much for his voice.

 

[olds]

I thought the piano was better than the voice.

 

[Eli]

I thought we were only talking about the voice. I liked the piano playing.

fair enough.

Anything can be polished now a days. Some of his playing was sloppy and singing flat but all that can be fixed.

Your reverb has too much pre delay and way too much bloom. Relax the tail and pull in the pre delay slightly and lower the volume on the reverb in total. You don't need the reverb to wash out on this type of material.

There are some odd resonant freqs around 800hz to 1k? you should try to eq these out before they hit the reverb. Also put a hipass filter on the verb and get rid of all the junk below 100hz

You should record in a wooden room if you have one or put up some kind of bass absorption.


Things sound better live then they do recorded so nobody is as blown away as you are of him - its not translating.

affirmative. the voice isn't *bad* but didn't impress me, but I usually don't focus on vocals anyway.

 

[JSt0rm]

oh and you should be using the verb as a send not as a insert.

Cool, thanks!

[Dr. Zaus]

Anything not worth doing is not worth doing well eh OP?

 

[gevorg]

I wouldn't mind listening to this while eating at some restaurant.

 

[zanejohnson]

i actually like it, james taylorish...

 

[rasczak]

I didn't think it was that bad..

Until he started singing.

 

[BabaBooey]

manlymat.........boring elevator music....:hmm:

Not so manly if ya ask me...:big grin:


Not my kind of music but sounded decent...

 

[lxskllr]

Good piano, terrible lyrics, decent, but misapplied vocals. It reminded me a bit of Christian "rock", and that's not a good thing.
