The concept is cool but it sounds like the guitar lead parts are not perfect in sync with the harmony of the backing track.
Cool vocal ideas |

I think he is using them more as a texture.|

Cool vocal ideas It's still a little rough for sure, please let me know if there any specific spots you are thinking about? If you are referring to the whole concept of boiling down a solo into 5 well chosen licks then I am with Todd - it will be a sacrifice for sure. Luckily we have jam based collabs going on as well, such as the Emotive Rock Collab. |

Here is a new version where I have added some lead guitar and polished the mix some more!
If someone has ideas for more sections or want to add more recordings we could prolong it. Alternatively we can leave it at this, and start brainstorming about the next one! 
Aug19.mp3 ( 2.24MB )
Number of downloads: 44Because I am sure you are dying to find out what I am singing about, here is what we have so far 😁 Sapere aude (Dare to know) Ad astra per aspera (Through adversity to the stars) Alea iacta est (the die is cast) Acta non verba (Deeds, not words) Ubi amor, ibi dolor (Where there's love, there's pain.) Amor vincit omnia (Love conquers all things) Though it might not be totally reciprocal I know that in the end, what we’ll see Is just picture Of what used to be Of what seemed to be Horizontality burned into verticality But what turned out to be…reality It’s the real you and me Where there's love, there's also pain. Love conquers all of these things Sapere aude (Dare to know) |

Sounding good. I like the intro.
I would double the length of the chorus at the end. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Aug 19 2021, 06:51 AM) Awesome you dig it Ken - I absolutely love working with your recordings and ideas 👌👌👌 You mean the chorus starting at 01:10 right? Do you think we should bring in the soprano again? Yes, the Chorus at 1:10. I prefer your heavier 'normal' vocal there but I think it could be pretty cool if you added in the soprano part hard to one side underneath the main vocal. Put some longer delay on it and send it to the opposite side. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

In this mix I have extended the last chorus.
Aug20.mp3 ( 2.81MB )
Number of downloads: 47I also tried using soprano voice as backing with the hard panned delay Ken suggested (01:07), but I couldn't really make it work (so it's on low volume in this mix, I might remove it). I also tried a low octave 'monk choir' dub on the first chorus (00:26), but same for this one. For the chorus at 00:26 I tried many different type of lead vocals, but it seems the only ones I have control over are either super soft in my natural range or the falsetto/soprano thing. Since I wanted something powerful I didn't have much of a choice. We can pretend it's my wife singing 👀 The chorus at 01:07 works I guess, but the vocals are pretty soft. I think this arrangement calls for a powerful chorus and increase in dynamics. I used to have a barking type of voice that would work in high pitch, but I am having problems using it now. I never had any good technique with it, so I think I am currently simply not up for the dB levels of screaming which it required. Or maybe I’d have to be really pissed 😅 |

I would 'saturate' (distortion) and compress the soprano vox ... a lot!
Same with the normal vocal (and the soprano vocal) on the two ending choruses. I like it overall. Definitely a different thing than usual. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Yes I can probably edit something in there, your spots do sound very cool 😎
But if someone who has not yet participated wants to give it a shot that would ofc be best🤗 |

....and here is the FINAL RESULT!
Be sure to listen to it in the GMC Radio Player as well. I think it's safe to say that the level of originality we have here is hard to match - and it all goes down to us creating music together. Do we have the first ever online community band❤️ I think I will be listening to our tracks for decades to come, they are just so damn cool 😎 |
