Patrick Talbot - Set Me Free - Matt Kirby - 01-10-2016 This is my first attempt, I tried to keep the dynamics, feel free to share your opinion RE: Patrick Talbot - Set Me Free - ptalbot - 01-10-2016 First thing that caught my attention was that the lead vocal is buried behind the instrumentation. To judge vocal level, you can do the whisper test: try lowering the volume gradually from normal level to a level to almost inaudible. The last thing you should be able to distinguish is the vocal, and you should be able to understand it. That's not the case here, as I was listening to at relatively low level at first and I had to push it to hear the vocals when they entered. In general I think the leads (keys and guitar solo) could be given more center stage, but they stand up to the band, the rest is fine overall, tones and dynamic are there. So if you address the vocal level you should have a respectable mix IMHO... RE: Patrick Talbot - Set Me Free - Matt Kirby - 01-10-2016 Yeah i've noticed i accidentally rendered the unfinished version, so here is the correct one, with more present vocals Thank you for the response by the way! I will play with the panning knobs for the keys and guitar you mentioned, to see what difference i get in overall sounding. RE: Patrick Talbot - Set Me Free - ptalbot - 01-10-2016 Sounds better Matt! Not that I particularly like my voice in general, but it's a song after all! BTW, by "center stage" for the leads, I was not imply panning as such, but levels more than anything. Good job! |
