DragonAvenger Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Corridors of Time Mix This mix has been sitting on my computor for 2 years now...2 years!!! I really want to get this finished, and we need help to do it. Nicole Adams approached me so very long ago in regards to my Vocal Triggers project, and provided me a rough sketch to record some vocals over. I mapped out everything and did all of my recordings, but now we're at an impasse. Currently the background mix is 2 years old, and wasn't entirely meant to be a finished product anyways. I'm looking for someone who is willing to step up and give this a shot of getting the arrangement finished. Also, any constructive criticism, keeping in mind the age of all of this, would be appreciated. There vocals are dry recordings, nothing has been done to them. Currently there are 18 seperate files for the vocals alone. Nicole is willing to help with producing the vocal processing, mixing, and mastering, but that needs to come after the background is finished. I finally really understand multi-tracking Anyone around who's willing to lend a hand? Let me know in here, or PM me and hopefully I should be able to hook you up.

DragonAvenger Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Double post for good measure! BPM = 128 Lyrics are as follows: "This place I know, a simple reality But what I know, only my mind believes A butterfly that flies so high in the sky What can I be only when dreams come true. Close your eyes and dream that you're flying away Open your mind and see again. Where we are, you're so far away from me But bounderies are nothing within my dreams I'll fly away on wings of mist and of spray You'll soar with me only when dreams come true. Close your eyes and dream that you're flying away Open your wings and soar again. So sleep now and I'll tell you where I am Just let go of your fears Take my hand and follow me Higher than before."

buh6173 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'd like it a bit more if the melody actually stuck with Corridors of Time, not just the harmony. If you fix that, then I think it'd be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't bother me at all, I actually really liked this. Only problem is I dunno whether or not I could actually help out. ^__^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Also the vocals are a bit too loud compared to the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I think it's great. It really has a Mirror's Edge type of vibe to it. I could definitely take this and make it sound like a radio edit, if you would be interested in conceding the mixing and mastering duties to me. Just let me know. Just bounce down your wavs to something I can work with in Audition 3.0 I think there's enough there to call this done.. with some tightening and studio magic, it'd be perfect.

Ryo242 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 This is pretty good. I'm normally not one for vocals, but it works. -gives a thumbs up- and it'll be improved?? Epic epic nice nice. Can't wait to hear how this one turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 what else do you need for the arrangement? It honestly sounds pretty complete to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hearing your stuff from the FFIV project (which was absolutely gorgeous), I'd say you should re-record the vocal track - there are a few tuning issues that I hear in there (your main vocal part has a tendency to go a little flat, while your doubling tends to go a touch sharp when it moves away from the main line), and I know you are perfectly capable of perfection . Sure, adding some studio magic could help mask it a bit, but it would be ideal to record it perfectly. Don't take my criticism the wrong way - if you were someone else, I would've said the vocal track was great, but we know your capable of even better stuff so I can't let you get away with it . Otherwise, beautiful track. I like the tightness of the accompanying track - it works well for a song like this. It needs a proper ending, but it's just about there. Great, great work - I look forward to an update (and I hope I help). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Auto-Tune could fix that in a jiffy and make it sound awesome. I'm not talking friggin' Cher style but just regular subtle auto-tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananabomberman Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 My suggestions if you want to add or change stuff would be if you added some reverb, or echo, or hall-like effect or whatever to the vocals (and perhaps a little more kick to the kick drum, maybe). I think it is fine that the vocals are louder than the melody since it does carry it out quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'd definitely like to hear this carried through to completion... It sounds good so far, and improvement in a few areas would take it up to a level of awesome really easily. I have to agree with Gario on re-recording the vocals. It's a bit off in parts, and approaching it anew (particularly since you said it's been years) would be the best place to start for vocals. After that you can consider using auto-tune or to what extent. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm hoping to help finish this track, they're getting it ready right now I think. They might be recording new parts or deciding on the arrangement or something. I don't honestly know everything that they're up to. Just waiting for word from them on what's to come.

HoboKa Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 You know; I think that a second vocalist would really help out, perhaps for back up and occasional chorus help - especially one that has more range and finesse - no offence intended (I couldn't sing to save my life, so I know how hard it can be...lol...drunken karaoke for the win) Anyways, compo wise I think this is actually pretty much done there Dragon =l, so I'm not sure what the gripe is there. Maybe you should run this through with one of the J's at #ocrwip or w/e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
