"and nobody listens to radios anywhere else these days!"
That's not true, sir. Broadcast radio is still a huge medium (although not as frequented by the public as in the 80s & 90s). Major record labels still spend thousands of dollars in air-time for their releases. If this was not so, you and I could release our works on the radio. But we cannot because the Majors still have that medium virtually on lockdown (thus making it expensive for the little guys to enter). An independent artist's friend is still college radio.
Really? You think people listen to radios at home or at worK? I guess I always think of radio as a car medium. I suppose that with many stations broadcasting on the internet that there is plenty of airplay out there... but if they are using the internet, there's really no need for the audio restrictions that broadcast radio has. (I guess I just hate those restrictions!) With any luck, the Majors will continue their steady decline, leaving room for the rest of us.
Sounds more like Alternative and Punk Rock. The cymbals are a bit too loud. And that weird synth introduction drives the whole song into its own car crash. And the vocals, chiefly the chorus, are sitting in mud beneath the music! Vocals shouldn't sit under the music. This does a disservice to the vocals and makes her sound like Joan Jett (although at Joan's musical zenith).
The overall composition is good. The 30-second right channel pan could be annoying to some listeners. Left channel is too low even for a pan simply because it is a near-30 second stretch. For that reason, this would not be radio-friendly (ever wondered why no song ever played on the radio began with a channel panned?). It would work well in a movie or stage theater, but the pan would still need to be shortened to like 10 seconds. Love the break.
Yeah, totally right. I've always liked panning - to an extent! - but it's one of those things that can get overused so easily that I think the standard these days is to NEVER use it. I suspect that "radio friendly" will one day be gone. Between the (necessary) equalization and massive compression, music with dynamics and color doesn't stand much of a chance in a car - and nobody listens to radios anywhere else these days!
I've heard these vocals before and, yes, they're great. The first half is awesome; the second half lacks symmetry: your piano accompaniment is glitchy and out of tune. Fix that and your track is a heavyweight.
Hey , thanks a lot for listning and the critic .. acutally i put the keys on the point , dont know why it sounds like there not . But i try it without and it sounds a little bit boring . But try some other things , thanks ;-))
You have too much compression applied. I can hear clipping. The drumline is drowning out the synths & the music is above your vocals making it hard to hear them. The overall harmony is nice tho.
Thanks for the tips... I prefer keeping the vocals a little lower in the mix as a more eery "what is he actually saying" kind of vibe, but as for the overall mix I'm getting help from a sound engineer friend to clean it up. Cheers!
Music is good. Good job not heavily compressing the vocals (like soooo many others habitually commit in error). The only issue I hear with this song is that the music is "above" the vocals and doesn't invoke a desire to have the song as a "favorite". Try dropping the guitar (or synth, if that's a synth & not guitar)& other non-percussion instruments under the vocals. Let the bassline ride over the vocals. Keep everything else the same (they're fine). Just some listener advice.
