how can i get my mix closer to them?

[unborn tusk]

real song: pleaselevitate i'm okay being forgotten

shoegaze / post punk ^^

[surreal osprey]

i didnt use headphones but ur mix sounds close enough to me

ur voice is male hers is female mess with the reverb and probably position your head and mouth accordingly to make it lighter

[unborn tusk]

you mean i should not speak directly into my mic?

[surreal osprey]

experiment backing away

not too much not too little

[jolly tinsel]

Not a professional or anything but I think your mix sounds very monotone, you should add reverb. And to my ears it sounds like your mix has a lot of low end frequencies compares to the song that has more high ends.

Thanks for pmo to that song btw

[unborn tusk]

theres already a lot of reverb on my vocals

more low end frequencies cause i guess i have a male voice

but theres still not alot, most of them are the beat

[unborn tusk]

no problem

[unborn tusk]

ah i see, i'll try

[jolly tinsel]

Are you using stock reverb?

[unborn tusk]

no

i'm using

let me check

valhalla vintage verb
spaceblender
pro r2

[jolly tinsel]

I dont think shes using this but what i do sometimes is add some dalay on a preset called Chorus

[jolly tinsel]

Try a diffrent room

[unborn tusk]

do you recommend any?

[jolly tinsel]

Wait can I actually just see your vocal chain?

[unborn tusk]

yeah

[surreal osprey]

HOLY shit

I never knew people used this many on vocals

[unborn tusk]

well,

for this

[surreal osprey]

not that its bad

[unborn tusk]

specifically

[surreal osprey]

yea i wish i knew what some of those did

[unborn tusk]

i mean i use alot of plugins usually

[jolly tinsel]

Im pretty sure proffesionals actually use more

they stack like 5 diffrent compressors

[unborn tusk]

mic mod = modifies your mic so it sounds like a different one
real time tune = autotune
pro q4 = eq
fresh air = mid / high eq
rvox = compressor
valhallavintageverb = reverb
valhalladelay = delay
spaceblender = reverb
littlemicroshift = wideness plugin
pro-r2 reverb

[unborn tusk]

yeah

on diff tracks aswell

[jolly tinsel]

Damn thats a lot of reverb

[unborn tusk]

yea lol

[jolly tinsel]

I was messing around with the reveb, I think you should use a hall or chanber reveb cus it gives more high end

I think shes overall singing in a higher pitch too

What Mic Mod do you use too? cus ive never experimented with that

[surreal osprey]

yea i would believe it

but then they compress it all

or radio stations do

It gets so complex man

i wonder what audio will be like with dolbys new thing

[unborn tusk]

Neumann u87

[mossy dirge]

Take 5-20cm distance

[unborn tusk]
