Finlay - Same Kind Of Life (Piano and Vocals only)
#2
I'm usually not a fan of M/S Eq but I suppose it works ok in this case. Or at least I can't find a reason to criticize it in this case. But I suspect that regular eq-ing would have worked just as well. I do think the 185hz boost just adds some excess fat to the vocal. It's already kind of mumbly and if anything, needs clarity. But I understand you stripped the arrangement down and that adjustment was based on the stripped down version. In the end it blends it in with the piano.
The vocal gets overshadowed by the piano. For a stripped down version the vocal gets buried between the piano and EQ. There's a lot of mentions to the reverb but I don't really notice it. Which I get is the point of reverb to some extent.

I do like the tremolo effect. There is a a tremolo on Piano 1 right? Or am i having a stroke? I need to know ASAFP. The F stands for 'feasible', of course. (oh wait, I see, Roto Speaker. I will call off the Ambulance. They will not be happy.)

It sounds fine but ultimately, kinda boring. That's what the other parts of the arrangement were for. I get stripping it down and trying to find the 'soul' of the song (eww). I think that's a smart move. But, I think the rest of the parts should fill in around those elements to fill out the song. It sounds good. Don't misunderstand. We just need those other parts to trigger our interest in the lyrics.

It's not even 8am EST (God's time zone) and I"ve barely sipped my coffee so I reserve the right to be wrong.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
