鏡音レンV4X - メルト (WIP)

[atsuya]

here

i feel like the vocals are either buried underneath the instrumental, or the vocals are sitting right on top of them and covering them up. i've tried everything i can to blend them some more (different EQ settings, heavier/lighter compression, reverb/delay) but i just cannot get them to sound like one track. if anyone has any suggestions, please tell me. i'm open to all criticism.

Oh wow, the tuning on this sounds amazing! This'll be an amazing cover onxe you get that mixing figured out.

To me, it sounds like Len is sitting above the instrumental, he's clearly louder than it. Maybe try turning up the volume of the instrumental and compressing Len? I think you can clearly hear how quiet the instrumental is once you hear Len really stop siging for the instrumental/piano solo part at ~2:55. That's eeally all the advice I can give, hope it helps remotely

I'm thinking de-esser before everything...Vocal is too loud and eq'd on the trebly side, or you got a lotta saturation going on. Have you ever tried to use chorus before?

i've compressed him quite heavily while still trying to be cautious because too much compression makes it even harder to blend the vocals. and now that you point it out, you definitely can tell. i've decreased the volume a bit and already i see a big difference, but still not blending well. thank you, though!

aaa of course. i completely forgot about de-essing, oops. i went ahead and did that now. i did make my EQ a bit more trebly because my devoiced consonants were on the softer side and that usually helps, but i did less treble this time around and now it sounds bassy, idk though. i don't have the best headphones (i use apple earbuds) so i can't hear the frequencies that well. i did use a bit of chorus (especially on the la's), but i don't want to make it too noticeable because i personally don't like the sound of chorus. i went ahead and upped the settings a bit while still being cautious of not using too much, and i think it helped a bit, but it still sounds like he's singing on the track and not with it, if that makes sense. i also made my reverb a LOT less harsh because i think it was drowning out his actual voice and it was more than necessary. thanks for the advice.

sorta fixed mix

first one was between loud and fine volume, second one is between fine and soft. lol. vocaloid is just that way.

how do you have it compressed? i can prob give u like two or three options.

its not just the loudness of the voice that matters. Im listening to it and it sounds like the voice has a really "rough" texture compared to a smooth sounding instrumental. kind of separates it there.

the voice is a little juxtaposed to the instrument sometimes timing wise, the la la laas sound a lil late to me.

eq however u want. just try playing the song in your car and a laptop speaker or something. try to make it sound good across them all. everyone here thats listening has different stuff.
