Keith

Nice Ron lol

Thanks a lot man. Means a lot me to. I put my heart into it for real!

Absolutely floored. A whole new side to your voice I have not had a chance to hear, since most of your stuff sounds to me like operatic metal. This was great. And kudos for going for the Trent Reznor feel.

It's all in the sub-text, isn't it?

I know it was for me.

Thanks Ron! I heard the song at the bar I DJ at and just HAD to learn it. It's a little rough in spots still I think. Trent's nuances are sometimes difficult for me to pick up on.

Wow, very nice version of the song.

I have only heard Johnny Cash's version, and it jumps to my attention that in yours, the guitar emphasizes other notes, like... giving it a completely different feeling. Maybe it is a NiN thing or something, idk.

As for the vocals, I liked them a lot. You have a very thin voice, light and clear, so it was very different to what I am used to hear with Cash. You gave it a far more fragile feeling to it, like if you were really falling apart.

I liked it, man

Thanks man, I am falling apart, so that helps :)

I have been working on Until Kingdom Come - been a year so far. Can ALMOST get most of it in chest. Almost.

Good stuff man. Try to keep more "chestiness" in Roll the fire in the chorus ( the "In spite of my fear, I call your name once again." Try to thing of skydiving when you sing it - like you are falling. Higher notes are psychological that way. Other than that, sounds great! Roy Khan is my favorite singer.

Wanted to try this one - great song.

One of the best Epi covers I have heard. You have excellent control.

I understand that, Keith. What I am trying to say is that I really do like what you did with "Inside my Head." Much punchier. If you ever do a video, you need some stop-motion editing to coincide with brief but definable full stops. Or is this another one of those weekends where I am misunderstood no matter what I do, I can even do what is asked of me and not be appreciated for it. I hate when that happens but what ya gonna do? Unload on someone else in an unfair and inappropriate manner?

Actually that sounds kind of nice ... fun, even ....

Dude, that video idea is great!

Lol Ron, these songs are old yes, but re-recorded from the ground up.

Thanks for listening guys! We recorded in a basement in Rochester, NY. With a full on pro tools rig. I actually am going there tomorrow to record 3 more. So we will be releasing 15 songs soon!

Sounds good man! Lots of power in the higher parts. You have a pretty cool voice man.

It doesn't sound too nasal. A little bit, but not bad.

Bump

Here are the first 3 of 12 original songs that are mastered. Let me know what ya think!

Nice man. Especially like what ya did at the end.

Nice man.

Every time you add an effect into a mix (for any instrument) you get a little less of the tru sound of your voice. The proper way is to mix effects on a separate channel so you can use channel EQ and stuff to bring back the natural sound of your instrument.

How about some Heart?

Stunningly awesome! You sound great! Where /with whome do you train?

you are still struggling a bit with that A4 in the chorus. Also, you are washing out the sound of your voice with all the effects. I would tone it back a bit lol. Sounds better than last time, so keep up the good work!

Ill have lots more originals soon!

Just find the right vowel man, and you'll get it. Also, sometimes it helps to siren down, instead of up.

Sounds like you are shouting to try to get more power into that note. I sing it " and I daa waaaaa the world to see me" to get the placement right . Then "and I daaahnt waaaaant" (adding in the ends of the words). sounds silly, but it worked for me.

Doubling solves! Best technique in the book for everything, including migraine and chronic chronism.

I recorded double tracks. Triple in the choruses. It's just too tight to be noticeable I guess.
