I have to thank our French girl for the patience she had: it is a real pleasure and a true honour to work with such professional singer.
Guitar, bass and keys played by MrWolf. Drums programmed (EZDrum). The end of the song is not "final" yet: I split what was a 3-songs pack in 3 separate files and I am still fighting with the ending/beginning.
Any suggestion and/or feedback is welcome as usual (and don't be afraid of giving negative feedbacks)
EDIT: 7 March 2015 - reduced the compression and used a different drumkit. Thanks for the inputs.
EDIT: 10 March 2015 - reduced the high on the main vocal track (thanks to Cru & Scott for pointing this out).
I must say this is beautiful. I sounds as if you guys are standing in the same room. Carole's vocals are beautiful and the bed of music you set it in is perfect. Sounds like a movie soundtrack, very commercial sound!
No negatives here, Domenico, just high praise on my end. I'm a fan of Janis, as I am, you. My international band, Musicante, and I have used here pellas on a few occasions.
I think Steve is correct about her pella. I have a setting called 'Boost11' in Sonar which I almost always use for vocals. It brings it up front and adds body to it. You may have something similar in your DAW. Having said that, your track is a real beauty as is.
Hi Scott, nice to read your comment.
I will try to see if I can do anything to improve the sound of the vocal part. I will also try to see if I can get more details on the "Boost11" Sonar's preset: if I know what it's doing I can for sure reproduce the same in Logic.
Thanks!
Ciao, Domenico
I love this Domenico, the music is perfect and sublime. The problem you are encountering comes from Janis'es original recording. The mike she uses does not capture a full range of frequencies. For background it's perfect but for lead it sounds too treble like. Her voice dynamic is very deep and rich and her pellas do not capture that from her microphone. So I think the problem origonates from her recording and not from your mixing and mastering. But I still love what you did my friend.
Steve
Thanks for the encouraging words Steve, you are very kind.
I have also noticed that Carole's recordings are a bit "hot" (in some points I can hear some saturation) but I have to admit that it never disturbed me: I such a big fan of her voice.
I will try to see if I can improve the sound somehow.
Thanks again for the comment!
Ciao, Domenico
Good point…. I have reduced the compression.
I have also changed the drum kit to use one which is not so "over compressed".
Thanks for the input!
Ciao, Domenico
the singing is very beautiful, very professional level for sure. your setting is sensitive - I am liking the guitar licks and solos very much! perhaps the mix is a bit hot?
Description : messed around on my piano, came up with a good idea, and put it in fl studio. I think it turned out pretty great. It would be awsome to get some vocals to this. if you do, feel free to change up the title or whatever. tempo is at 105 if ya need to know. review it and enjoy.

Description : This one has been sitting on my computer for a bit now but didn't really like it. My friends say it can use some vocals and I think that is what this one needs. If there is anyone who wants to put some vocals on this, send me an email at .magic41151@yahoo.com. or post below. Thanks for tuning in and have a great day!

Hope you are all staying safe! I don't know about all of you guys but I was feeling really creative during this pandemic. I'm really proud of it because It reflects a lot of my life and it's an all-round feel-good hopeful ep can't wait to share it. It's out 6.19.20 you can get a sign up for a reminder on my website or just comment below and I'll send it to you when it's out! :) THANKS EVERYONE SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE PASS 4 years!!! #LoopermanFam
Description : Sometimes life and music can go into a totally different direction. It all started with a drone and ended with Silvers Bellas beautiful song Diamonds. Together with my personal story about a romantic relationship from the past you can expect a positive mellow song that may surprise you. I'm proud to had the chance to produce SB again. Let me know if you like it :-)
Description : This is the track I'm most proud of, learned the most from and worked the hardest on. I got a bunch of ideas from so many people MasanoriMurabayashi, Wikkid, JosephFunk, thelastmonte, BeatMaker4real, lAVel, Crucethus, Spivkurl, and Danke. I implemented most of them. Thanks to wildsistem for 0106681-wildsistem-piano-arp. Key: G#m.
Description : HI! I AM EDM. I am not new to the game. I have been producing for over 20 years. I have helped many starving artists get to where they needed to get to. Going retro on this one. SINGER WANTED.
Way to go man!
