Check it out! I cleaned up my vocals for an upcoming song (it's called "Forward") and bounced the isolated tracks.

I'm almost never happy with my vocals, but I'm thrilled about this one! Here's a slice of it:

@killyourfm Very nice layering! I think you’re vocals/voice is solid. I get it though, we all hate listening to our own voices. Lol

@posiris And we are absolutely our own worst critics.

Thanks for the positive reinforcement!

@killyourfm You’re welcome! I hope to see he finished product soon. :)

@killyourfm Oh! I’ll have to get some headphones and have a listen. I’ll give you my “review” soon good sir.

@killyourfm Ok. I listened with a couple different low cost cans; KZ ZSTX IEMs and some slightly modified Koss UR40s. The KZs have a V curved EQ while the Koss have a slight bump in bass and maybe a little freckle in treble. The track is great! The layering of the vocals is well done and adds more depth to the song; it makes it feel more “professional studio” recording. I definitely dig the song. I listened to it 4 times in a row without getting tired of it. Here are my critiques.

@killyourfm This is coming from someone who likes to listen to music, but is no way a professional audiophile. I feel the EQ on the track could be tweaked just a little to combat people that will probably listen in the car or on regular cans. Perhaps a “notch” out of the bass and 2 “notches” out of the highs. When I was listening with the Koss, the bass was a bit heavier than most rock tracks, and the sibilance was almost there. In the KZ’s these 2 things were amplified.

@killyourfm Of course, everybody’s ears are different and everyone’s taste in frequency is different. It’s just some things I noticed when comparing to other rock tracks I listen to. One more minute thing I could add is to bump up the vocal frequency so you are more audible. However, this may fix itself when the other 2 come down. Freaking awesome track though! I will be listening in my car on the way home. BIG Foo Fighter vibes and I know you like to hear that! :blobfoxheadphones:

@posiris First and foremost: I really appreciate your perspective and your constructive criticism. You go WAY above and beyond, and it means a lot to me. You don't need to be a producer or sound engineer to give a musician super valuable feedback!

I'm taking some notes and making some tweaks this weekend. I definitely DO agree about the high end. I think it's the way I EQ'ed the high-hat and cymbals that's contributing to that. Just a TOUCH too shrill on certain speakers.

@killyourfm Cool! I’ve been following you since Linux for Everyone and I like seeing what you’ve been up to. Especially with the passion you put into everything. I know it’s going to be quality.
