Allen, it is the cut titled "Maggie Singing" that we're discussing, correct? You replaced the first take with this new take, under the same title, right?

This is a definite improvement over the first one you posted. The vocal sounds remarkably like Jewel's version of the song. Rushed? -- I don't think so. Don't slow it down.

I find it distracting to have the vocal in only one channel but I don't hear a significant imbalance in the levels of the voice and guitar. Granted, I am using a cheap headset as my good ones are out of commission.

Maggie has a very nice voice. I think she has remarkable voice control for a 14-year-old. I'd love to hear more.

Margaret Yes indeed we are listening to the same track, and yes Maggie does have a good voice. I wholeheartedly agree with you there.

I also hear a potential for Maggie to have a great voice.

Margaret, listen again on a set of speakers, and turn it up a bit. Pay particular attention to Maggie's attack on a note, and her release and you'll likely hear what Arjen and I did. The tempo change I'm suggesting is a minor one, at the most 3 bpm.

From hard experience I can vouch that those extra tenths of a second can make a world of difference in the amount of air a singer has to work with.]]> Hear Here Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/new-mix-of-daughter-singing/#post-223129 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/new-mix-of-daughter-singing/#post-223003 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 17:58:46 +0000
We are definitely rookies at this (at least I am, my daughter has been performing for years) so the recording process has been a trial and error experience. (more error than anything I might add). But we will keep at it. I am working on anothersong now.. trying to get the guitar down and then we'll ad vocals.]]> Hear Here alouden https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/new-mix-of-daughter-singing/#post-223003 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/new-mix-of-daughter-singing/#post-222946 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 08:34:33 +0000 Hear Here Anonymous 22752 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/new-mix-of-daughter-singing/#post-222946 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/new-mix-of-daughter-singing/#post-222916 Mon, 15 Jan 2007 19:23:09 +0000

Performance

Maggie sounds rushed. Slow down a few beats per minute and give the poor girl some time to breathe. I suspect this will also help the spots where she's slightly flat when she comes in, and help her sound overall more relaxed.

Mix

The vocal is WAY out in front. Bring it down or bring the guitar up. I'd suggest a little of both :)

Those are the two major things I hear that need correcting. Retrack, remix, and let's see what we get.

Then I can nitpick :lol: Are we listening to the same piece?? :shock:
