Dust in the Wind - revisited

[ronws]

I know it's not fair, two songs in one night but my voice was in good shape and I couldn't resist.

I added a very slight echo to the guitar track, which seemed to brighten it just right, for my tastes.

Two submissions, actually.

Submission #1, vocal track has absolutely no effects on it. This is just how the mic recorded it. No eq, no compression, nothing done to it.

Submission #2. I ran compressor first, with a slightly highthreshold than the default setting and a ratio of 2:1, slightly tighter compression. Then, high pass filter at 150 Hz and low pass filter at 4 kHz. No eq, no echo, nothing. I noticed it made the ending lyrics "stronger" than I sang them. That is, I was singing softer at the end, in order to fade out slightly and the compressor took away the fade.

Same here, great singing, nothing to criticize. Your voice sounds really stable, sth I appreciate greatly in all singers.

Great job once again buddy, keep it up !

Thank you, Thanos. I could not have done it without your help.

Nice job Ron! Your voice is nice and consistent and free thoughout the passagio range which is difficult to do. Nice resonance up there too.

That is especially an high comment coming from you, considering your affection, as well as mine, for the music of Kansas, especially stuff sang by Steve Walsh.
