Firefly Zoo - A Vox Crisis...

there is nothing wrong with your voice....i have the same thoughts about mine....im pitchy, but all my listeners tell me that adds character. like when you hear linkin park, you know its linkin park...back to your song...a lot of this is mixed well.. some of the lighter parts are shallow... vocals could come up a db or so. good job

I like the vocals.

It seems like the vocal line suits your voice... if someone who sings in a polished technical style sings it the emotion will be gone.

You voice seems good to go... and has what I consider a contemporary alt-pop vibe.

Run with it!


I'm not a fan of intellectualized prog change ups... and not a big fan of acoustic guitars sounding louder than the rock band hiding behind it... but that's a different subject.

I like the ambitious and imaginative arrangement you are working towards.

Good stuff!!!

I love this tune! Your vox is fantastic for this tune although sounds like some weirdness going on w/the compression in the vox and it sounds held-back....I do agree w/Mike once the rock guitars come in I'd push the acoustic guitars back.

Theres so much going on here (which i like) but also needs tweeking (to my ears) The radio effect you use on the vox now and again needs to be smoothed out a but...just too cutting in the hi region ("I'm just a fire fly" part)

I think I'd try to add some depth and bottom end to the acoustic guitar
I'd look at your vox and try to nix the front of some of your lines where you can hear you breathing in just before delivery...that can be a "touchy-feely" area as if you nix too much of it...it can sound unnatural but as it its a wee bit distracting...
There's a ton more lil things I'd do but because your player doesn't have a counter I can't pinpoint them for you..

but to your original question...about the vox...its prefect!!...I think it's prolly one of the stronger elements of the tune...great emotional delivery I think its fantastic!

Kinda an "out from left field" thought... one interesting thing about Prog type tunes is that it seems that the lines are drawn kinda like in country music used to be...(now it seems more a rock/country/country-rock hybrid so the lines are less clear) where it's either a love-it or hate-it deal...but I'm guessing if one tends to like Prog music...this is a very strong tune indeed!

good work!

1:50,yyyyesssssssssssssssss,you kiddin me, your vocals are quality. Like what has been posted, they could come forward a little and defo could do with a meaty kick when the heavy guitars came in.

I loved this.

Nothing wrong with the vox as they are to me - could maybe be a bit louder if anything. It's really quite a cool song - can't comment too much on the mix as only listening on laptop, but it doesn't sound too bad at all on pc speakers - bit muddy when the heavier guitars come in and if it were mine I'd give the snare sound a little more oomph, but depends what you're going for. All just my opinions as a listener.
