A Tear Falls - Chesook, Appleluza & Cosmic Dolphin

[CosmicDolphin]

I love the simplicity of this, your vocal suits it perfectly...maybe a little eq , fix up the couple of notes where you went off and a touch more vocal ambience would make it sparkle.

Very Nice

Thanks CD, that's good feedback. I don't really know much about mixing but I'll play around with it some more. And yes, I hear those stray notes and I'll try and fix 'em. Thanks!!

If you'd like me to mix it just post me the links for the seps - shouldn't take long

Wow! Thanks, that would be great! I'll try a couple more vocal runs a little later today and post something soon.

OK , cool

Ok. I re-sang a few more times but still struggled with the same notes so this might not sound much different. 3 raw files with no effects at all. I really appreciate your interest  offer to help! 

[CosmicDolphin]

I'll see if I can fix them up at my end.

It's beautiful, Errol and Appleuza! What speed did you record this at?

Hi Paul! Thanks very much. I don't remember the bpm for this.  This song was started quite a while back. I could probably find it though on my old computer.
(i should be able to get it going.) I'll check it out. Thanks for listening.

[CosmicDolphin]

Here you go Errol...the new vocal take was certainly better than the older one, there really was only about three or four words that drifted off pitch enough to warrant fixing.

It sounds quite different to your mix, so have a listen and come back to me if there's any changes you want.

Sensational! Thanks so much CD!!!!
Just one small thing - and ONLY if it is easy and not a hassle. In the first chorus, I am bugged by the word 'falls' before the last line of the chorus 'my tears fall for you'. I seemed to get it better in the final chorus. Would it be possible to copy, cut and paste that last one? (hope that makes sense). I should have noticed that myself the first time. If it is a hassle, you have already done a fantastic job!  Really appreciate your help.

...and this one is more similar to the original..... a bit darker and drier sounding...with the slightly unusual panning you had

Sure...did you mean around 1min 24.... I think it sounds great..has a bit of emotion , but I can swap if you like - just tell me which of the 2 mixes you prefer and I'll do it later after I put the kids to bed.

I actually mean the one around 1:17 on the WMA.

I was probably emotional because I was worried about singing the next line.

[CosmicDolphin]

Ok...let me know which of the two mixes you prefer and I'll fix it
