The original is a song called: Trust Me by Ruthie King.
The vocals and guitar are all Ruthie's talent. I added the dance flavor ^___^
This mix has been done for MONTHS, but Ruthie finally gave me the ok to put this up here, so many thanks to Ruthie. I learned a lot in mixing this song, working and adjusting to slight tempo changes. It was also my first time working with a vocal track and I think I was very successful in working with it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Please leave a comment of your thoughts here, as I am sure Ruthie would love to read your comments! Be kind, this is her first of anything on NGs.
kinda reminds me of heaven
it's nice, but the tamborine thing i would take out...and have the tone background the guitar...i can see what you tried to do here..but i would suggest trying to scync the beat with the guitar a little better...but it's good man. nice song!
OMG
You guys just let go on this one didn't you!? Ruthie had such a powerful voice...and combined with that mix you made...it's unbelievable. Without words, there would be no other way to explain how epic this song really is. A huge difference from your other works. You and Ruthie diserve a 5/5 10/10! Bravo, and thanks for the light show! XD
simple
i thought the vocal recording and guitar were recorded pretty good, but one think that is a must is knowing the tempo of the song to sync it to the track. a metronome helps. it helps to cut the song to a beat since at the beginning of the might be out of timing since there are no rhythm elements yet. the high hats were dead on for this one for the majority of the track. you mixed it pretty well because you didnt dominate the track and her words were still clear. you lead synth could stand to be turned down some. yes it is really hard to slice a song so that it stays on tempo if its wavering in that way. sometimes you will find that the best solution to this is manually playing it instead of letting midi note lanes do the work, otherwise it involves some tricky timeline shifts.
2:20 and 1:30 really need some work. melody wise and rhythm wise.
ruthie's voice was really nice, she sounded natural and unstrained. nice recording as well.
the percussions on this were a good selection.
for your first with vocals im impressed. but yes mixing vocals into the mix is not as simple as mixing synths, its adds a more organic saturated sound that can throw alot of mixes off.
decent work.
you should sample some things from her. for more practice. :D
this gets a 7 from me because 1. your work is at a different place than it was when you first started so i cant give you a 10 lol, and also a 7 because of the slight mixing problems andtiming issues, even though there wasnt much you could help. an honest well earned 7, for mixing vocals better than 65% NG users...probably giving them too much credit.
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
