Desperado - My Demo

streeter

Hey guys,

I would consider this an advanced vocal tune with regards to textures, dynamics, Vibrato and range (A4 in chest) . Critiques always welcome. Not quite as Legato (open throat) as I'd like, as some of my 'D's' are too heavy and I emphasise the 'R's' to much sometimes as well (going to be tough to break because it's how I've heard the tune for 15 years.). My Vibrato is not as natural (pretty) as I'd like it to be yet but I have only just had a break through with it in the last month or so.  Quite a departure from some of the other material I have posted.

@anyone who will listen.

@streeter.

This sounds really good. 

A couple of spots that I think could be adjusted:  At 2:19 on the word ALL you slide from the G4 up to the A4.  I think you should hit the A4 without sliding up on that word. It sounds flat with the slide.

At 3:06 the word Let sounds flat.

Some parts of this sounded so good it gave me goosebumps.  That's good.

I think thats the correct link. SoundCloud is acting weird. It also stuck on an extra 20 secs of dead air.

Good job, @streeter!

Thanks @highmtn.

Cheers for your help. I thought 'All' was a slide but it was a re-opening (yawn) and 'Let' was lazy because it was towards the end of the tune. Great ears mate.

Just so everyone knows, both tracks are all one take. No overdubbing. Effects are reverb, EQ and Compression done on $210 worth of Logic Pro 10 and a $250 Rode Nt1 condenser mic.

@streeter thanks for the equipment list. Audio quality sounded good clear and presence. I am starting to look into recording equipment as a learning tool that is decent but won't break the bank. So good to compare actual real time sound.

Logic X smashes it out of the park IMO.
Tonnes of sounds, plugins, samples, effects, amp simulators etc...
Combine it with some Toontrack products for about $150 and you have got a fairly expensive sound that is easy to use for less that $1000 including mic and pre-amp.

Also remember that in Australia everything is overpriced so you are probably looking at 800 bucks.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Right on!  Another very cool track, Luke!
