Windskyed's songs / Covers

AAAAAANND Hello again !.

I hope you are all fine. This topic is for my audio art this time (If I can call it like that). In the past I was active in the fandom, but after a personnal problems period, I was unable to continue.

Now it's good, I return slowly.

I have didn't always loved the music but one day I have tried to sing and, finally, It became a drug.

I have a broken voice since my birth. But maybe, it's because I have never took singing lessons. When I could, I will do it.

So, in waiting, I put 2 things I have done recently.

Cover of Awesome as I wanna be :

I'm French, and I need to learn the English. Singing is a good way I think. Please, be gentle with my accent. And, I have made a small mistake in Lyrics. Yeah, I have tried to learn the song without text. Just with my ears.

Ok. 

 

Watch your vocals on the first. They may have been edited to raise the pitch. But nonetheless, they sound a little squeaky.

 

For the orchestral piece, your percussion sounds really filtered, like if you put a high-pass through it. Make sure all your instruments are sounding out clearly. Also, the whole thing just lacks that low end. Give it some depth by adding some bass. 

 

I like that brass sound you've got, but your strings seem to drown that out. 

 

All in all, they are some good pieces, but they could be improved.

Guy, thanks a lot for the very good analyse and recommendation .

I need some advice for increase in fact.

it seems you have a good knowing in the global harmony of a song. Really, if you have the time, I will be very attentive if you have some "good bases" to have a good departure when I begin a new song composition.

The global harmony is the most complicated problem that I have...



 

So, 

As I promised the song. I have tried to increase the quality of this old audio. I hope you'll enjoy it . It's in French this time. The theme is Twilight.S who singing in front of her father's tomb. It's based on my own life.

Ok. 

 

It's a beautiful track. 

 

However...

 

Watch your intro. That guitar sounds quite stale and takes away from the sadness you're trying to convey. Also, some reverb would work on the intro. Why not start the intro slower than the rest of the piece to give it more emotion? Bring in one instrument at a time. Start with strings, then bring in that upper crystal chime, followed by the harp then guitar. I would also use an electric guitar with a slow attack. This could be done by running it through a compressor and lowering the attack for a gradual sound. Reverb is perfect for this situation, as it can really up the emotional feel of the piece. 

 

For your vocals, they were good for the most part, but make sure you're hitting every note on pitch. Sometimes, you fall a little flat, which could be recognized by many, especially me since I have perfect pitch (no bragging intended.)

 

All in all, it's a good piece, but again, some things just take away from what you're trying to convey.

Hello, again, thank you for your advices

 

Yeah, it's an old song that I have tried to improve in quality but in the future, I think I will do it with my actual voice and a new instrumental. But, for the moment, I need to have a new computer, mine is too old (10 years).

 

I'm totally agree with you. Now, I have removed the pitching, it was not necessary. I don't know why in this period I have used it..x).

 

You are a big help and I like your way to explain of what it could be improved
