cheers Zivon i have sang and rapped before theres a couple in my profile but my singing wasn't where it is now, if you know what i mean, im more experienced but your right i need to do it more

Z. Thank you for the good advice. I followed it and see that you were absolutely right. To me it sounds better and there is more transparency in it. Thank you. All the best.

Loved the reply and suggestions. The lead guitar was done in two takes. I chose the one I thought was best. The lead guitar was created using a softsynth, some amp simulators, reverb, and some fx. Then I played it through a 49 key midi controller using the mod wheel so it sounds like I'm stretching the strings. With practice it sounds pretty good. I do also own Two guitars but like to dabble in both. I'm going to try it again and insert your suggestions. I like the idea.

Hello Z, thank you for your great praise. Unfortunately, Hammock and Echosmith don't mean anything to me at the moment. But I'll definitely be Googling it in the next few days.
To your question. The effect is a Nectar4Voice effect. A software effect that reacts so quickly that it can also be used live. The task was to use the voice to build a bridge from the quieter opening part to the main part. Since my voice isn't voluminous enough for such things, we did a little trick. We didn't grind the effect into a chain with the singing, as is generally the case, but doubled my voice. The main channel remained absolutely free of effects, i.e. dry. The doubling was given an extra track that was sanded through the effect, with the dry portion then being removed and only the effect remaining on the track. This had the advantage that you could distribute the effect in the room regardless of the voice. I hope I made myself understandable? I think this was a successful move.
All love and good

cheeers bro, i keep trying new genres i do try to sing im not great but engineering helps :)) i'd like a female to collab with, i think i could write something good but time will tell, i love roasting though. just changed this for another bit of sweet may work further on it

Thank you (not masterpiece yet, I'm still working on it, vocals ?)

Thanks for the comments. Above and Beyond were a favourite of mine too.

Hello mate.

Me too man, Fela Kuti being a long time favourite. And yeah, I figured Bishop Tutu's message was right on point. Cheers Zoot.

Hello Z, thank you for listening and the nice comment. Maybe that answers your question a little. I like dirty drum sounds *smile. Now seriously. I think if you played the song live, some frequencies would overlap slightly. I think that with a band you should be careful and not overdo it with filters. In my opinion, that would destroy the song character that we as musicians actually want to convey. In other words, clinically pure doesnt suit us. But I can understand that people who come from a different music genre have difficulties with our attitude. For the most part, we are all studio musicians who earn their money by making music for others and by subordinating ourselves musically. The customer sets the tone, so to speak. Thats why were happy to be able to do what we want from time to time. This resulted in this loose formation that you can hear here at LM. So with a lot of seriousness in the matter, but still just for fun!
Nice to have a new fan. I love my fans *smile
Best regards
Manuela

Thanks for comment, Zion. I think you are right about the mix of genres. It definitely does not fit comfortably into just one box. I'm very happy with the way the mix turned out. The instrumental parts, particularly in one section, have sounds that are in the same frequency range as the vocal. Not only were they competing for "space" in the mix, but the overall sound was somewhat harsh. Simple EQing did not fix the problem. So, I turned to a pro for help. Wytse really improved the mix. Took it to a place I was not able to reach. :)

Hey Zivonmusic thanks so much for the kind words and acknowledging the terrifying truth of the corporations and their endless global grab of all the natural resources.

Peace,

Dennel

Hello Zivon, thank you for your message and your compliments. Isn't it nice when you are reminded of the great experiences you have had in your life? I feel the same way sometimes. You hear a song and you're catapulted back into your own youth. Kind regards Manuela

The vocals involved my first experiment in automation with the delay/feedback. No real intention as far as the beat was concerned, I just liked it and thought it fitted. Cheers Zoot.

Thank you very much Zivon!

Appreciate your words specially those names you mentioned ...
fistbump, Danke

Thank you, Z, for the positive feed back. I agree with you on that comment. Maxwell would put some fire on this track. If I were to add vocals, I think his style of singing would without a Dout work. Thanks again for the stop by. PEACE. T576 OUT.
