"Lose Control" my first attempt at Club/Pop/Rock

Hey guys, sorry for the crappy YouTube quality... I've posted a song or two before on here and I think it's time I get a Soundclick working soon lol.

But anyway, I just seriously busted my butt on this song. It may not sound very complicated but that's the trick, isn't it?

This entire song is riddled with -heavy- use of Melodyne (for pitch and phrase length) and -heavy- use of V-Vocal's fake vibrato (she does have some real vibrato in one or two spots, but all the big moments, especially everything in the end, is 100% V-Vocal).

Be careful with your subwoofers because the only thing I haven't gotten to (and won't be able to get to until next month) is cleaning up the lows and sub-lows!!!

Hope you guys like :)

    OK.....well I think I should just give up now!!!!!   LOL

    this is really very good!...I love her voice (oh by the way....did Dave give some osrt of secerte on how to get beautiful women with beautiful voices to work for you?????)

    I love the mix tween the metal guitar and the club beat with the auto tune vox......it fits so well......and no it does not seem simple.....

    lucky I do not have sub's on my internet PC....

    so this is really a nice work sir. (much much better than mine I have up right now)

    I can see you've put a lot of work into this. Personally I think the whole auto-tune thing has been done to death, but that said, you've done it very well, so congrats on that. Can't comment in the mix too much as only listening on my lappy, but it sounds right for the style.

    this sounds pretty good.

    I'm not a fan of autotune, BUT, when it's used as a spice, and not overused to cover the singer's inability to actually sing, I think it's part of the creative process...

    Nice tune, good production.

    Thanks guys! I would like to note, though, that I only cranked up Autotune in the very very beginning of the song and during the bridge...

    Yeah  I noticed that.... and I appreciated that fact that you did NOT us AT all the way through, cause that girl can sing, and it's a crime to cover up a good voice with AT....

    I listened to the song because the AT stopped.... and she actually was singing...!
