Chavie

Bump.....

Any more opinions?

Glad you both liked it

And any time you compared my singing to "DIO" that's more then a compliment, you make my freaking day lol

I liked the acoustic approach,i think this song sounds better without distorted guitars...

I thought you did great on this, really made it your own instead of copying either halford or joan

i also Liked the way you ended with the echos that was cool

Been way to long since i last posted....have had hardly any time to myself lately

Love to know your opinions on this one i worked pretty hard on it.

I have a new mixing setup not sure if its better or worse......you tell me.

Thought your voice was a little too buried in the mix..but otherwise i love the ethereal feel this song has.

The distorted guitars where a nice touch loved how they set in the mix, very nice feel who ever is playing.

The lyrics were great man, and the actual songwriting Was outstanding.

One thing id like to add, maybe add a harmony vocal line for the chorus its begging for one ( in my opinion anyway)

Great stuff man always a pleasure to listen :)

Anyone else got any opinions or criticism?

Major improvements in the vibrato as others have said. Also Good job on the light head voice parts near the end....

I agree the mix is not up to standards i have heard before.

Great job man!!

Rat race

======

Great first Track!!! production is fantastic, your voice is fantastic on this, and major props to the guitarist.

Lost in the sea of dreams

================

Your voice is beautiful on the beginning verses,have not hear this side of you before.

love the symphonic rock riffage that comes after.

The reptiles

========

Again great singing (getting tired of saying that lol...) Guitar sound is great on this as well.

Nothing can heal my heart

=================

Great vibrato on this.

So far this album is sounding awesome man, i even like the artwork

My favorite track is definitely "Lost in the sea of dreams"have played through that tune like 5 times today lol

Great. I like the harmonies of the intro very much. Your voice sounds thick, bright, and powerful. The only thing that I'd change is the drum sound and/or processing. To me it is a bit too noisy for prog.

i may change the Kit im using...... i think the vox might be a little high in the mix as well.

Thanks everyone for checking it out.

Really liked your singing on this, you had this very nice vibrato on the end of different phrases,

hard to describe but i liked it. You have a different setup this time? Mix is a little different then normal.

Always loved this tune, i think you did a great job on this...few places that need a little work, but other wise

i thought it was great and enjoyed very much.

This is not an easy song to play and sing....i know from experience lol

never been good at playing and singing at the same time....especially if the guitar part is difficult.

You did way better then i could on this.

Very nice voice, similar to Labrie's in spots.

Finally finished this one!!! Its been a long time in the making.

Interested in what you guys think of this, still needs work but i think m done composition wise...

Great cover man, your voice is just awesome on this.....

You have great control of dynamics.

What software/programs are you using to record your videos ?

i have no clue how you guys do these type of things lol

Blew me away man..holy shit

Stellar in all aspects.....

Thanks guys. I was a little hesitant to post this at first, but i'm glad you guys liked it.

Trying something very...very different.

I'd appreciate any comments or feedback

Fantastic Chavie! As Felipe said the interpretation was very close to the original. I think your voice on this sounded awesome. Steve had more of a piercing sound but that is also why some would call it nasal. It is just more subjective opinion but your voice on this was smooth and Velvety. O.K. maybe a better word would be "Covered".

Anyway I liked it.

I picked up "Covered" from a Pavarotti interview lol, i think its a good description of that kinda sound.

Hi Charlie.

I actually think you are quite close to the original interpretation, which is great.

However you are doing a few things that work against you. Two specifically, you are attacking the verses with a glissando, a scoop. For example on haaaaAH way run, and ciiiiiIIIIrcus life (you begin on a lower pitch and bring it up). Focus as much as you can on attacking the note right on its head, not bellow, not above.

And also, timming. There are key spots that you are attacking on the upbeat, and that also works against you. A simple example: Right on the beginning, highway RUN. In there, if you take care so that the phrasing makes RUN sits right on the beat with the keys, it will sound killer. On the next phrase on the same idea, "Restless HEART" same problem happens.

You do however make it precisely on "Circus LIFE" and "Through space and TIME".

These two things do not require anything that you are not doing already on your voice, and I think will improve the quality a lot.

I, personaly, notice that its just my taste, also did not like the super high note on the ending, but its a matter of choice. The rest of the higher section is killer as it is.

I hope it helps man.

GL!

Thank you so much man!! This helps a lot !!!!

I've actually had quite a bit of negative reactions on other websites i go to.

There reasons were cryptic at best...mostly not liking my voice or how i sang the beginning sections.

I'm just trying too figure out how i could make it sound better.

I can go lighter than this, but its not as "covered" sounding and a bit feminine(to my ears anyway)

Too be honest i really hate the sound of my own voice on most of the stuff ive recorded

but the one time i thought i did an ok job people give me a lot of negative feedback lol.... oh well

As always man appreciate your feedback :)

Anyone else have any comments or criticism

Ive been working really hard with singing lighter, id appreciate any help at all.

I Loved it man, i had no problem recognizing what it was (Maybe because i'm a huge dio fan lol)

You have awesome grit and tone on this man....

Really nothing else i can say.... it rocked lol

Thanks man, i was actually working on "A change is gonna come"

I was raised on ole sammy lol

I like that your experimenting with more lower ranged stuff.

You have quit a bit of range man, i could only hit the lows on this if it was first thing in the morning lol

Thanks ronws, i always look forwards to your replies :)
