Feels So Good To Be Wrong

[Errol]

Took me a little while to finish this one off. Actually i didn't make any real changes of late. I was hoping to replace the vocals. I had a few attempts to improve them myself but like most songs it's out of my range.    Anyway i didn't want this to sit arouind forever so here it is. I am very grateful for all the musicians' invaluable contributions.

Errol,

I like what everyone has done here. Kudos!

There is some digital distortion or clipping  going on. I think it's the vocal track.

Check that out and see if it's in the track or the final mix.

Thanks. Will do.

Thsi one any better? I mean the vocals are still mine  but there may be less clipping.

[NickT]

That sounds better Errol!

Not sure how much compression you are using on the vox...could maybe use a little more so the soft passages don't get lost.

Also maybe try adjusting the Eq on your vocal. I would lower 200hz by about 2-4db with a Q of 1.0 to 1.4. That will add clarity.

Hope that helps.

Compression? Hmmm......... none. I can never find a button that says "Compression" 
Did do an small edit and I think I adjusted some EQ.

Thanks

the updated version does sound better.  what are you using to track/mix with?

Mike

[Errol]

Cakewalk.

so I think that uses VST or DX plug-ins.  there should be some free ones out there (google) if you don't have a compressor plug-in.  I usually insert a 4:1 - 7:1 compression on the vocals (rock, pop stuff).  helps even it out and keep it "up front".

Thanks Mike. I followed up on that and I will work on it.
