Well due in large part to how I do my vocals and much debate about them I have changed the way I am recording them. So, hoping not to start another big debate, here's a sample of how they sound now. This is about 2 minutes out of an over 8 minute cut.

All constructive feedback welcomed.

Terry,

The vocals sound really good. Could you share with us how you record vocals and what equipment (Mic, pre amp, sound card etc ...) used?

Thanks

Shaz

Terry, Wow, terrific clarity in both your vocals as well as the rest the mix. Your song has a distinctively native american flavor. Nice orchestration and mix as well. What (Tyros?) instrument voice (ooh . . . ooh . . .) did you utilize for the accompaniment backup to your vocals . . . cool sound. Your vocal style on this tune hauntingly reminds me a lot of Neil Young on his classic "Harvest" album. Terry, without a doubt, a huge recording quality improvement on this song. With your new found improved recording technique, I'm really excited now to hear your next song. This demonstrates just 'how much' of a impact the engineering side of recording can make on a song. Your music artistry can now be felt & easily heard (for the first time).

Ok Terry, please please share with us your recording process on this song, and just how it differs from your previous works.

Trust your better judgement my friend....
Its like Night and Day!! good job!

Shaz & Scott,
Thanks guys for the feedback and glad you liked.

Shaz,
The vocals are recorded into my Tascam SX1LE after going through a patch that I made up on my TC Helicon Voiceworks. What I did was to create a new patch toned down from what I was doing before.

I use and AKG 1000 condenser mic. I aslso added a touch of TC Reverb.

Scott,
Thanks here's what's on it....from the Tyros I used Voices (choir patch) pick bass and fusion bass, also some of the percussion is from the Tyros.

There is a synth voice and stereo harp from the MoES

And of course live acoustic guitar.

BTW the recording process itself really has not changed. Hopefully I am getting better at it and paying more attention to detail. As I mentioned though I did come up with a new user patch re tweaked on my Voiceworks.

The only thing I have started doing differently really is, not do the final mix until the next day. I was doing it the same day and I think by the time I got to the mix my ears were burnt out, so I thing that helped as well.

Wow, that's really good. Much better than the old sound you had. I like the song too.
Reminds me a little of Kawliga.
