Zidane Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Apologies for the immediate double-post, but I just wanted everyone to know I am Ben (singing voice). I more or less whipped this up to share with the community so you have a sample of my voice. I did the mixing, but Amos played the piano. I couldn't get all of the background noises from his performance weeded out, and I'm sorry about that. Enjoy and leave constructive criticism please.

Darksun45230 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 The piano kinda drifted off there towards the end. The singing was grand to listen to, but something felt off about it (can't say what.) You should play with the volumes of your voice and your piano. Take my advice with a grain of salt, as I know little about these things.

Zidane Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Darksun, thank you for your kind response. I'm hearing now, I think my voice overpowers the piano a bit much towards the end; that can easily be remedied. Any other advice before I possibly submit this?

Nabeel Ansari Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Darksun, thank you for your kind response. I'm hearing now, I think my voice overpowers the piano a bit much towards the end; that can easily be remedied.Any other advice before I possibly submit this? It's kinda short for a remix... a little too short. Try making the piano louder. It's just kinda "bleh..." at the moment. And the voice is great, but maybe adding some reverb would give it a nice "EMPTY ROOM" effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubioso Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 hmm, I don't know if I'm hearing something everyone else isn't...because the vocals aren't just a "little" overpowering...the piano is basically non existant and sounds super far away in the background. Piano needs to be brought WAY up. Don't know your recording set up, but if you have the chance, a stereo recorded piano panned left and right respectively with the vocals in the middle is an awesome way to go for such a recording. The voice recording is nice and indeed is a pleasant singing voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah, what Nubioso said, all of it. It didn't sound good at all when the piano was so far in the background. Looking forward to the update. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidane Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 I appreciate all the feedback everyone; this is my first project here and I want to make a good impression. As of now a second mix is underway, I will be back with an update asap. Feel free to add any additional comments during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateKoopa Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Weren't you from that site 1337games that kyledude92107 admin'd? Also, I don't really know much at all about any Final Fantasy games whatsoever, but this is excellent. I agree with most people about the piano, and I hope I'm agreeing with most people, if not everyone when I say you have an excellent singing voice. I sound like Simon Cowell... when he's being nice.

rhapsodos Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hey, you posted this on the VAA! I already posted my comments on that there but I'll say it again - your singing was really nice and it's lovely to hear a male cover of this piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I like your voice very much, it's very smooth! It's also very refreshing to hear this with a male voice like someone else already pointed out. I don't know much about singing as I only do it in the shower and/or on isolated islands, but in some parts it seems like you falter a little bit, as if you were holding your voice back. As for the piano, I agree that the volume needs to go waaaay up, it's definitely too distant. Overall, though, I am very impressed, I wish I could sing half as good as you do! Keep up the good work!
