My Recordings

[Mandy]

Not exactly sure if there's a rule about self promotion and whatnot, I didn't see one...

Anyhoo, these are some recent songs and things I've done.

I realise that the last one needs some more editing, but I also haven't been producing for very long...so tips would be cool...Thanks!

"Kiss"

By Seal
"Kiss From A Rose"

Baby I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
The more I get of you the stranger it feels
And now that your rose is is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

I Like your version, a little "Lorena Mckennitt" sounding, but then again, i have always liked her stuff.

I would suggest a little less effects because it takes away from your voice.

other than that, the recording sounds very clean.

"Its over"

my first impression is that your voice needs more presence, It sounds disconnected from the music IMO.

and there seems to be something lacking at the same time, the song is just a little busy.

good imaging
and well put together.

welcome to the forum.

ha!

i found the whole song,
someone dubbed it in with clips to the last "lord of the rings" movie.
so you have to download a video along with the full clip.

i found it on "you Tube"

Kiss cover .....

I think its an awesome cover but my personal opinion is that you have a good enough voice without the effect (slight delay/echo) just a voice compressor would be my advice but dont take what I say for definated as we are just starting to use computer based music programs to record and produce our own sound. when you brought in the vocal harmonies it reminded me of an american band I used to listen to (The Roaches) but all in all although im not a cover person you covered the song brilliantly.

Its over .....

I can see where the other reviewer was coming from in that the vocals is a little set back in the mix Id prefer it to be a bit more out front because the bass for me is a little strong but it may be down to my speaker setup on my pc as its not my DAW im listening through just a pc set up with a big bass booster....But I do like the song a little christina aguliera influence Is my guess (is it her song or your own?)
