Hi list!
Here is my new song: Secret <https://soundcloud.com/xaccrocheur/secret>.
This morning the SoundCould announcement was retweeted by none other
than Sir Stan RIDGWAY
<https://twitter.com/philipyassin/status/762700853220405248>, and
considering that I basically decided to become a musician while
loop-listening to "Call of the West" back in 1982, there's an undeniable
sense of accomplishment here, so don't kill my buzz ;)
This is the 9th song in my "Faux Frogs" album
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBvCHJWi9SXxIr3Zvv_9qygxuXv_F1pbb>,
one more to go (she's been almost ready for months now)
PS - if more and more people keep telling me that the lead voice is too
low, I'm going to be forced to do something about it. The problem is
that this very vocal take is a bit crappy (I just don't sing it really
good) and if I crank it even a notch, this will show :|
PPS - Everything goes into an IR modeled Lexicon 480L (using
Klangfalter) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC0GNYJcL4I> and boy, I
feel rich :)
PPS - My new album is almost ready, greetings from the studio!

Hey hey Philip,
this is great! A really good song. A lot less raw than some of your earlier material. I
like the density and equilibrium of the sound. Thank you for sharing and congratulations
on the RT. :)

Ta-ta,

I love this one! One
of my favourites of the ones I've heard from you,
and in the top few I've heard posted on the list.
I don't think the vocals are too low and the vocal performance sounds
good to me. I'm listening on Adam A5X though which have great vocal
range. It may sound a little quieter on a car stereo or those crappy
Beats headphones, but it's an artistic decision in my opinion and not a
technical one. Listen to Stone Roses "Fool's Gold" to hear how this
approach can work well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSD11dnphg0 or
even more extreme, My Bloody Valentine's "Soon" -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4-5gHR3_Kg
The Lexicon reverbs are beautiful. I fondly remember using a 224XL back
in the 80s. Must get Klangfalter when I finally get my home studio back
together.
Thanks

Woah, thanks a lot, and to
everybody!

Yes, I see what you mean. Adam A5, wow.
Among the specific ones that I'd
like to test-hear. I use very old (60s) Tannoy T60 Speakers (and an AKG
K240) and the voice is exactly where I want it to be.. I'd love a pair
of crappy Auratone to test that... Maybe on my phone? Thing is,
frenchies put the lead waaaay above everything, it's like a tradition
(think Edith Piaf or J. Hallyday) and if they can't hear the words they
cry :)

Indeed, I'm flabbergasted at the whole IR thing. I even
made a "Why,
Phil?" video about that : "Angus Young goes to church"
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC0GNYJcL4I> - you'll find the links to
the 480L IR files in the video description.
Thanks
Thank YOU, and everybody who commented, everybody who didn't, everybody
who's helping me on Patreon, and everybody who can't. Hey would you
believe it? This morning, Stan did it again
<https://twitter.com/Stan_Ridgway/status/764339858080804864> :) You guys
are super sweet.
Roger

Maybe the vocal could need just a little bit more, it would help
to understand the lyrics. But it shouldn't really be in the
foreground. Don't worry about the vocal performance. With this
solid backing which sets the atmosphere, this song could work
even with just a spoken vocal (think Serge Gainsbourg).
