About Me:
I'm working to become a one-man male ensemble (I used to say "one-man quartet," but I'm quickly learning that there's often more than 4 parts to what I'm trying to do). I'm presently getting my sea-legs (C-legs?) by working from a songbook from Haven Quartet, a modern gospel quartet in the style of Take 6.
Thanks Ralph! Yes, I do all the instruments and vocals. I just have fun and do it for the artistic outlet. I really am impressed with your vocals and would enjoy hearing more of what you create. Thanks again! Btw - I added a video of one of my songs to the video page on this site. It's a sing-a-long!
I don't know - i mean, it already sounds great. Version two could use some "mastering" - meaning flatten out it's eq a little. Too much low mid right now (around 500hz.) But really, this is great as it is.
"Version 2 has a faster tempo and more focus on the phrasing. I also paid more attention to intonation this time and cut the volume on some of the breaths. I'm still using GarageBand, so I'm a bit limited in terms of pitch correction (it's turned off completely in both versions).
Any thoughts on what I could do either performance-wise or recording-wise to improve?" - Ralph
Hi Ralph! Welcome! Immortal sounds very cool. What's the difference between the two versions? Recording / mix? The second sounds a little more "full" to me...
Hey, folks. I just posted "version 2" of Immortal, Invisible. I think I'm getting closer to the sound I want... but I'm still not quite there (maybe I never will be). I'd love to get some feedback on what I could do to improve the sound. Once I "get it," I plan to start playing around with some original arrangements that I'll share.
