One person in 10,000 can sing without causing "pain" to others.... You have a nice voice , so you are the one in 10.000 but...you have to to work systematically to reach the level of one in 100,000 and even better !!! I am sure that you can !!! Best regards...
Hello
It is a good attempt to make a song but I have the feeling that you still have not found what exactly the melody and the harmonies should be. What I mean is that you have to try some more with your chord progression and your vocal line. Your voice is beautiful but in this piece I think you were trying to come up with a melody and we have witnessed the procedure of making a song. There are parts that are beautiful and others that I think you should reconsider. I don't know much about the ukalele, but why don't you try it with a guitar accompaniment? There is a lot of potential in your attempt and there is the joy of life, do not forget this please.
Thanks for that! I don't play guitar, for all I've 2 12 strings and a baby guitar with desire to upgrade. The close together strings present problems the baritone doesn't for my hands.
I'm intrigued what you mean by chord progression and vocal line. I think I know 5 chords. Ha.
Both Oli and I love your work - welcome back ;) The purity and tone of your voice is exquisite and the emotion of the tune is locked in by the simplest of instrumentation. Kay
Micky did a wonderful job here and your voice sounds beautiful. Check out Carolyn Hillier and Nigel Shaw's album 'Weathered Edge' - your style here is very like some of their world music stuff. Kay0s
i have to agree with everything my brother (Aaron/Pnnywze) said about this one - Its just such a unique vibe, and every sound is crystal clear, I didnt hear it prior to remaster, but the sound is top notch now. And u have a lovely voice, i really am going to have to hear more of your work now :) and oh man will my brother dig some acapellas from u - Jared/Vizzio
I had no idea wat to expect as those drums started marching. But it turns out I couldnt have expected it anyway - Ive not heard much of anything quite like this. In the best way. There are some nice effects and catchy melodic elements that really compliment your voice, which is also unique. Im glad this got remastered, I love experiencing music I missed over the years when it pops back up. Im glad i pushed play on this one, I have some friends that i want to show this to, as well. Really well done, you and Mickey both. - Aaron aka Pnnywze of the Monzder Squadd

Micky definitely gave it a fun vibe. I'm hoping to offer some more acapellas for everyone soon. You guys are so talented and delightful.
This track is a whole vibe, Spear. The beat is trippy as hell, got me floating in another dimension, every layer just melts into the next. The vocals? Theyre like whispers from the cosmos (take it from me), so smooth and hypnotic, pulling you deeper into the groove. This is the kind of sound that takes you on a journey. Pure magic

Wow, thank you! I've made sure to share it with the guy whose responsible for the magic.
Your Voice & Story together with a ukulele is enough to get the good vibes out. The basics are done and everything else comes with practice. I love it.
nice track very sweet too, you voice is nice but as mentioned needs fx to give it depth and warmth it also adds character.
to get the best results set yourself a processing chain and use bus channels, for vocals, reverbs, delays do everything on a separate channel and route each channel to its bus not the master, the buses are routed to the master.
if your unsure about bus channels YouTube it you'll be amazed how important it is, you have more control and your vocal sound will improve spearcarrier, try some EQ too cutting everything below 60hz and low end and dipping the high ends as it leaves.
it really is a case of practising and improving your engineering
Beautiful song but I think your voice needs to be reworked a little, the tone seems right to me, maybe add a little effect to your voice, good job!

This has that 60's folk feel to it. Coffee house, sure that works for me.
Updating and getting decent gear certainly makes things a bit easier but so many people have recorded great tracks with minimal and less than perfect gear.
What you are trying to do comes thru clearly, nice job!
what a beautiful song!!! yeah the sound doesn't help but if you do this properly could be very emotional... your voice doesnt need much is very angelic..
Take care
Peace
hi i listened to this last week, something must of distracted me because i never commented. your voice is really sweet and sits side by side with the uke (love the sound of that instrument) i agree in principal with most what is said, you state your trying to improve your engineering and mastering skills aren't we all :)
Manuela hits the nail on the head. if you make it studio or too studio it will take all away from the original and unique sound its almost live like raw and gritty. being a songwriter myself im impressed with your story telling, good content, well written lady.
i have learnt most of what i do now practising and being daring, loads of help feedback and critique too from our colleagues here in featured.
the second vocal doing a chorus would be good, maybe a male add a deeper accent or have a couple of lines repeated your voice just EQ different. just dont over engineer it as it will take away the charm spearcarrier. keep writing comics but keep writing songs too
I've listened to your music before and enjoyed it, as I did this one. Too bad you can't really edit or play with this some more. But it is very good as it is. Natural and real and you spin a good tale. I'd agree with Danke in that some additional vocal would sound good and fill it out a little.
I'm pondering simply re-recording. I got a new microphone - a Scarlet Studio. I've been recording with Blue Yeti and this one was recorded with a Snowball. Now I have the Scarlett, although I feel like it makes my voice reedy and thin.
