【VY1】 Nonsensical Noise / 戯言の雑音

[yeeee]

I've been listening a lot to this song lately, and I got inspired to actually try and finish a cover for once haha



I honestly feel like there's something off with the mixing, but i can't pinpoint on what ;v;; i use fl studio trial vers btw if that helps ?

feedback/suggestions would be appreciated! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟi really want to improve my tuning/mixing

hmm its hard to say because the volume level flipping back and forth from original to cover is different, I think the between the lows and highs are slightly different whilst the vocals are bit quieter? (don't take my word as definite)

Although what i can suggest is that if you can, get the original copy MP3/WAV by shitoo's official URLs since likely the YT versions might be bass-boosted/altered which will make it bad to A/B compare. Drop it on to FL and just solo/mute it back n forth w/ your own to closely compare. Loading a nice Frequency analyser on the master mixer track (not the parametric EQ2) like Voxengo Span or Freakoscope to aid you in seeing whether or not your bass, highs or vocals range are louder/smaller/thicker/thinner then adjust accordingly. That all I can think of in terms of mixing.

w/ vocals I think the 'ni' pitch bent too down maybe, perhaps move it back up a little or shortening the duration a little to not make it so apparent since the og sounded more in pitch.

**** I hope I don't come off as a pretentious as***le since I've barely got into making covers myself but yeah I would be my approach to figuring out a problem

don't worry about "being pretentious", cuz thatll hold you back from giving an honest opinion. you can be critical but just be aware that people can disagree with you too, and u can add that to your own learning exp.

art is subjective after all.

no, it's fine! thanks so much for the input
these are really helpful, i'll try and fix them later since there's still some stuff I have to get done in the meantime. thanks again!

EDIT: what was the timestamp for the "ni" pitch btw?

 

[DaSpookyReaper]

The first "ni" every at the end of the 1st phrase, upon the 2nd time of listening maybe its just her tone being different than miku's which is why it stuck sharp to me.

ok, thanks again!! oh god relistening to the audio again pains me on the inside ;;;; the mixing is so bad, i should probably get around to it soon..
