Definitely better.
If I'm being picky, I'd say a little less modulation on the wall of guitars and de-synthify the bass a bit (fatten it up). -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Thanks for the kind words Monica.
I only put an Ezmix preset on the vocals and didn't do any tweaking which is why there's some vocal imbalances. I've sent Todd the stems so he can do any post production to them as he feels is needed. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Didn't he do an amazing job? Nailed the 80s vibe that the song really needed and his sense of staccato timing is great. It works so well. I like your idea Monica! I'll give it a shot in mix down!!
Shared current version on NIK KERSHAWS facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OfficialNikKershaw That girl (Keiko Takamura) should take some singing lessons from Matt (Posterboy).
His voice fit with the track (mostly on the chorus part). I like that we listen the vocal part with a good timing and phrasing. I have just two little things. - at 1:56 - 2:11 the voice went a little too loud. - also I have an idea. I don't know if you guys will like this but I thought it worth to tell you what I have in mind. I think would be cool, if on chorus parts when Matt say "one day" and "over there" to add a strong reverb. But only on that terminations, to let that words have "tail". "Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? Wouldn't it be good to be on your side? The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?" This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Nov 25 2021, 10:08 PM |

That's sounding very good.
How about try adding Keiko's vocals in on the choruses, especially her harmonies. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

It's great to wake up and see the comments and the latest version. I have to say even with the timing issues I always prefer a different voice doing harmonies it adds more interest and texture.
I keep waiting for the solo to come in everytime I listen, Todd will you be adding a solo? of your own composition or keeping to the original??? -------------------- My SoundCloud
