TMV World Legacy Member akarawd Posted September 2, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 2, 2011 Link : http://www.box.net/shared/bpt26yy5xguhqehteh8q Info about the recording/performance : The track is a whole tone lower than the original, sung all the way through (did only one phrase somewhere a second time). No autotuners, just a high pass filter (analog style but quite high to avoid the shortcomings of the digi002 preamps, sadly my trusty audient preamp just died), a bit of compression, a bit of reverb, delay and a touch of chorus. Where there is distortion/grit/gruff etc it's totally intentional, controlled and not in the least harmful or painful. There is a lot I could have corrected but chose not to, this is what I can achieve at the moment if I were to sing it live. What are the weak points ? please be honest, I want to improve.

TMV World Legacy Member rofleren Posted September 2, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 2, 2011 Wow, I love your distorted high pitch notes combined with an crazy awesome vibrato that you do. Not so constructive words from me, but I'd like to thumbs up anyways ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member gno Posted September 3, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanos - That sounds really great! You've got nice control when jumping octaves. And the distortion is really good. The only thing for me is some of the vowels are a tad closed - but just some of them toward the end in the lower part. Excellent job!

TMV World Legacy Member akarawd Posted September 3, 2011 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Rofleren : Glad you liked it, the vibrato thing I love too - now that I can actually hold a note without it that is Geno : Thanks man! When you get a minute, please pinpoint the exact phrases, I want to hear what you hear and really understand. This is the sort of help I'm looking for. https://www.facebook.com/ogregomixmaster?ref=hlhttp://www.ogregomixmaster.nethttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCprgiVsfB0O7dPjWebgu5PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Jugulator Posted September 3, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Very good. I like your tone. Slow vibrato is a bit strange but sounds enigmatic. http://www.youtube.com/user/IgorJugulatorZotov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member gno Posted September 3, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanos - ok the word at 1:16 on D4 a little closed. And the phrase starting at 2:09 - sounds like your lips are pursed slightly (like the shape of an "oo") through the vowels in that phrase.

TMV World Legacy Member akarawd Posted September 3, 2011 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Jugulator, glad you liked it. I can adjust the speed of the vibrato and do any rate but I find the slow one to be really pleasurable to sing. Guitartrek, I checked the points you mentioned ; I can clearly hear what you're saying, thanks man. https://www.facebook.com/ogregomixmaster?ref=hlhttp://www.ogregomixmaster.nethttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCprgiVsfB0O7dPjWebgu5PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Olem Posted September 4, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hello, Thanos, what a great achievement you have made here, very professional. You really did capture Rob´s tone here. I totally enjoyed it. I am familiar with the original and the "ahh" highs in the chorus caught me, they seemed a little low in pitch. Ok, i know you said you sang a tone lower so you did nothing wrong but to me it sounded a little strange. Also, maybe i would have preferred a little faster vibrato sometimes. Very impressive that you made this in one take, great job Thano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member akarawd Posted September 5, 2011 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks Olem, saying that it sounds professional means a lot. Not too sure about capturing Rob's tone, the only times I have were before my alarm clock rung lol! About the highs in the chorus, they do sound a little low in pitch, in fact a big part of this performance is flat (so I've been told, I've got issues with the identification of pitch) but, one thing I would like to mention is that the kind of grit that I use is rattle and instead of pushing more I hold back ; hence, it sounds like I'm not singing as high. Had I used neutral/curbing without the rattle, they would have sounded closer to the original. Thanks again man, I appreciate your input!

Thanos Yeah, i think you are right about that, the rattle thing. It sounded very cool by the way but i had Judas version as a reference that´s why it caught me. But, hey, you made your own version and it sounded bloody great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted September 5, 2011 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted September 5, 2011 It sounded good to me. Maybe it wouldn't "seem" as pitchy if the vibrato was a little faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
