Administrator Robert Lunte Posted September 8, 2015 Administrator Share Posted September 8, 2015 Mivke,Nice job, I have coached this song before...I think you did a decent job on this, its good... My ears want to hear brighter harmonics in your formant. It is a little bit dark or throaty in the overall sound color... I would like to hear this masked more... edge the vowels forward to the hard palette and brighten this a bit....However, by the time you get to the 2nd chorus, it started lifting and getting brighter... Id say the 2nd half, it starts balancing in sound color... listen to how dark the first half is... its very different then the later 2/3 of the song. 1/3 of the song is a big too dark. 1 ROBERT LUNTE Founder / Author / Coach robert@thevocaliststudio.com TheVocalistStudio Student Testimonials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Reisbro, I cannot say for certain hoe Mivke recorded his cover, but the vas majority uses backing tracks (instrumental tracks) or karaoke tracks to provide the accompaniment for singing. So, in order to start recording you will need at least a backing track of the song you want to record (if you don't play yourself any instrument), a decent basic microphone, mic cable, an audio interface (a piece of equipment that will convert the signal of the microphone to your computer, and a recording program, or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). I think you can find lots of useful info in here http://www.themodernvocalistworld.com/forum/9-home-recording/ Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member Mivke Posted March 9, 2016 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hey Reisbro! I indeed used a backing track with all the instruments aswell as the backing vocals. The main vocals were recorded on an sE2200a II C mic into a free program called DAW called Reaper. Hope that helps and thanks for listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Member Bruce Chamoff Posted March 16, 2016 TMV World Member Share Posted March 16, 2016 Mivke, the vocals sound great and I love your backing vocals. The lead vocals sound flat in a few spots: 1:08 (tomorrow) 1:30 (mine) I love how you sing "vague" at :50! Bruce 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member Mivke Posted March 17, 2016 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hey Bruce, thanks for the input! Indeed you are correct, those spots are flat. I will try to remember that when I sing it so I can adjust it Also, I can take no credit for the backing vocals, they came with the backing track. Probably why they sound better than me Thanks for listening again man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
