TMV World Legacy Member Lavishous Posted February 20, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've linked an original song that my band Happily Almond is in the writing process of. I'm a 17 yr old amateur singer with about 1 yr of real experience, although I have been playing bass guitar seriously since elementary school, and would greatly appreciate a critique of my singing (and first attempt at any form of screaming). Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Adoney Posted February 20, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hey nice job. That's a pretty cool song. If you want critique let me first say add a compressor and maybe a bit of reverb to those vocals. I don't think there's anything really wrong with your vocal track here, just keep recording yourself and getting better with each song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Xamedhi Posted February 20, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 20, 2014 And also point that maybe lower a bit the vocals volume The music is cool, I liked it a lot and your singing fits very well the style. Keep working, mate :D My SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/sebabergmann My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/sebarhap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you singing on the erised track aswell? No that's Spencer sotelo, lead singer of Periphery. I just dropped the song a whole step to see what it'd sound like.

Jens Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Aha, it had a similar vibe to your voice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Batsinthebelltower Posted February 21, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 21, 2014 Nice groove on your guitar dude ..... Im a singng noob so i cant offer much advice , but i have recording experience. on my speakers your vocals were panned 100% left. Keep them centred , use a compresser to keep consistent volume and sit them well in the mix. Reverb works wonders too for noobs like me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've been unable to determine what causes that left panning but it certainly wasn't intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Batsinthebelltower Posted February 21, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted February 21, 2014 you may be recording in mono on your interface , sometimes they have 1 stereo input split into 2 mono channels L and R :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the stock garageband for recording vocals isn't exactly ideal :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Carvalho Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Took a listen and really did not like it man, its all sort of spoken and no line of interpretation. Quite some work ahead of you, lessons would pay off. I like the ideas of the song though, GL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
