Here's one I am trying not to suck at finishing! Rock/Pop Punk

Cool! Great performances!  There might be a few pitch problems on the main vocal.  

Well played and kudos for getting in done so quickly.  :)  

Thanks Janet,
I've gotta get/find a more useable program or get a better grasp on V-vocal.  When it's me, I retrack it, when it's others I try to fix it with V-vocal and it either doesn't really do it or it starts to sound really unatural.  I also don't have any keys/synths in the song for the correction to feed off of either.  What settings do you guys use as a starting point when somebody is a little flat/sharp to get good results?

Lynn,
Thank you! Foo Fighters... I can deal with that suppose!   What are you listening on?  It seems to sound good in my truck, and on 2 different sets of cans though I did notce that the bass is lacking on my little laptop speakers.  Maybe I need to bring up the 2nd & 3rd harmonics on the bass track a bit.

Good song Chuck, enjoyed that.

Great tunage there!

The vocals could come up a bit. Rather than the left and right at the end with them, leave the main in the center and spread the rest out around it.

IE: From left to right

BV---guitar---BV----(drums, bass vox)---BV---Guitar---BV

Obviously leave the toms and cybals with their panning.

Excellent work! I'll check it out again when I can hear on better speakers.

Hi Chuck,

Cool punk/pop tune. Mix sounds good on my laptop, for whatever that's worth

Love the energy.

Bapu- Thanks man... I am workin on it!

James, Ohgrant,Gr - Thanks for listening.

No How - Yeah that one crash in the chorus is being a PAIN.

Guitarpima- I'll give that a shot, thanks man!

RobertB (and everyone) -  yeah, this is one of the 1st times I thought the mix was real close and close enough to add a little color and dial in in mastering.  I used the sonitus for HPF, LPF, and a little bump around 245 to gve the guitars a little umph, then the Lp64 to add a little sparkle to the mix and bump the low end by about 1.5db  but I think I will end up going back and revisiting the mix now.    As noted above- the bass needs a little high end, I want to do something with that crash, and I think the vocals need some sparkle/clarity too.  On some systems they sound a little muffled.  I thank you all for your input and opinions.  As always, the members here are the best!

hey Chuck - good song - not much to add that hasn't been said already.

for v-vocal - do everything by individual moving, don't ever click on the "Correct" button for pitch (I do use the correct button to smooth out vibrato sometimes, but not for pitch).  click and drag only for pitch.

there's a lot of upper / mid-upper highs in there which are "annoying" to me.  probably coming from the distorted guitars and/or the overheads on the drums.

good work!

I really like what you've done with this.
The vox and gits may be a tad bright, but to be honest, it adds to the hard driving live feel of the song.
This begs to be cranked up, so I did. Several times. That guitar is just smokin'.
If anything, I might want to hear a little more punch from the bass in the section from 2:40 to 3:20. It's playing a starring role here, but not quite stepping up. Very close, though.
I'm bumping this up to 98%. For the genre, it's right there.

Beagle, Thanks for the comments on V vocal. I try not to use it much.
"there's a lot of upper / mid-upper highs in there which are "annoying" to me.  probably coming from the distorted guitars and/or the overheads on the drums.
good work! "    This cracked me up...  That was annoying... Good JOB!

Daryl,  Thank you sir...  I try not to post my turds.  No use airing out your dirty laundry for all the word to see!  haha :)

Robert-I appreciate you taking the time to listen again.  I am still working this and will have a listen for the bass in that bridge, maybe automate it a bit.  It's only in the last couple tracks that I have been starting to really tinker with automation (other than ridingfaders for vocals).  On this song in the intro I have the 2 guitars automating back and forth a bit to direct attention to different parts of each riff.  I wondered if I had over done it but no one has mentioned it so I think it's working  for this song.  ;)

Joshua- I have never heard him compared to smashmouth but that's cool, I'll relay the compliment.  Hadn't noticed the flat vocal but will check again.  This is not a "live recording" though if it has a "live vibe" I am happy with that too. 

Chuck, I've not heard you post anything close to a turd by a long shot, just looking for an analogy of what can be done with V-Vocal. 

I know from experience early on I tried polishing some turds with V-Vocal, and the old saying is true, it can't be done.

Again, for this genre, and what I know about it, I hear nothing in the vocal that grabs me as flat or out of tune, and I'm usually pretty senstive to out-of-tune vocals.  It all seems to set pretty well.

Daryl
