My version of True Faith (with added vocals)
it's nearly two minutes long so far....please gimme your opinions!

haha this kicked in fuckin' loud, the volume of my computer was way too high, it was all silent and then those bass attack kicked in :) good start though
and 'bout the track: i love this! seriously! i reminded me of Erlend Øye's 'Unrest' cd, nice electro and you have a good voice imo (could be a bit more smooth maybe, but good enough), i like the melody and chords too, well constructed
you should definately finish this, and tell me when you did so. this stuff is perfect to play in the car during summertime :)
the beats make it very powerfull but the track is nice and relaxing at the same time, i don't know how to explain really, anyways i really do like this,
good work! and again, tell me when it's finished

thank you so much for all your positive feedback, it kinda makes my art even more worthwhile :)

Lolf, I would be too embarassed to do this. You sound almost like a normal singer, only maybe you take in too deep of breaths when you pause heh heh. You know how you can control your mouth/vocal cords/tongue etc to do ANYTHING your brain thinks of INSTANTLY? That would be cool if you could control a computer like that instead.

i'm sorry if i was a bit rude there, but i mean you don't say why it's bad, you only consider it bad 'cause "it's a cover"? i don't see the logic in that, there are too many great covers, so what if it's not brand new, as long as it sounds good it's ok imo
saying 'it's good for a laugh' to someone who's seriously working on a particular track isn't very polite either imo
you can give negative feedback and still show respect/stay correct, it's not at all hard

agreed. i feel a little bad about being so blunt about it and I certantly did not make a valid arguement for my remark in my post. my apologies...i don't however consider it bad because its a cover, nor did i imply it, i consider it bad because of the toneless vox (even considering the gear used). i do however consider it good in that it brought back certain memories from a beautiful childhood.
much luck and thanks to oscillik!!!

I didn't like it. The background music was crap and the singing was average. You're not a bad singer but you don't have a voice that grabs you by the lugs and says "you must listen". Just my opinion though...and I don't like any music any more and I have a particular hatred of the eighties so my opinion counts for very little in this case :D

How come you chose True Faith? I think you need to find your own voice and not be thinking too much about the genre itself, because I feel your voice is a bit restrained. I think you can do better if you just sing with your natural voice, not mimicing a genre.

I chose True Faith because I love that song, and I always have done. :)
About my singing, I'm not conciously trying to mimic anything or anyone, I'm just trying to sing.
I guess maybe it's just the simple fact that I am not a good singer.
I just wish I was....if only for this song anyways

Im sure that the headset as well gives you some limitations to what you can do. I am a terrible singer, but I still bought a good mic, and in a relaxed situation when I just let go and dont try to restrain myself it sound much much better. And then theres the computer to help you. The first rules of pop music these days must be that a bad singer is not going to stop your project in any way, as long as you have the right software to fix it. And for electronic music, I actually find it being a part to the aesthetics to treat the vocals digitally. But then again, why do you think that so many of the computer music guys does non-vocal music, or find themselves pretty girls to do the singing for them?.....................

hmmm,
not bad....
Your pitch did kind of meander away from the key a good bit... but it wasnt horrenduos.
As far as your voice itself... I think you could just loosen up a bit... I could hear in your voice heasitation...
but all and all, good effort... just keep practicing singing... thats the only way to get better!

Well, I wouldn't stoop to the levels of commercialisation by using either
1) Voice Modelling software to tweak my voice (the only time I'd put effects on my voice is if it were a BitCrusher or Chopper, or Distortion....I wouldn't ever modify the pitches so that they sounded "nicer")
2) By using some silly 20 year old airhead who has no idea or conception of the fact that music is an artform, and not a way to get rich quick.
As I've said in one of my previous posts, I mainly do instrumental stuff anyways...I've done one other track with my vocals in, and that was an attempt at Digital Hardcore style stuff (if you've ever heard Atari Teenage Riot you'd know what I mean)
But you are right about the relaxed bit....I'm never really relaxed when I'm trying to sing, so I guess I just need lots of practice
