NO, I think its a fair comment...she does sing very academic...that is as a trained schooled soprano.
Fair comment, and probably this doesnt suit the track although others have said that they can appreciate this fact and that most vocal performances today are flat and powerless.

Thanks for the feedback all!

LOL, ya, but to have academic education does not means u will go to africa and u will sing like a trained soprano ethnic music from there, lol ...
If you permit me, non spanish speakers I would like to explain gerry my point of view in our languaje because my english sux!

Wey, lo que digo es que no por tener educación academica vas a cantar con el falsete y con el poder de un cantante de Bell Canto, obviamente, cantas POP, puede ser que lo hagas, y puede que digan que es tu estilo, y ay que bonita voz bla bla bla, pero para este track en especial simplemente no me suena lo mas correcto .
Kopi =o.

Done some preliminary EQing of the vox. I dont master offline, it's all done in the AUX channels ( I chain a graphic EQ, multi-band compressor and limiter on the MASTER).
I used an extra EQ setting on the 3 vocal tracks to make her "less academic" but alas, I can't change the singer's style! hehehe

Any better?

Hey man. If you're able to, you might try dropping the vokes an octave or two. Dont just you plain pitch shifting, find a plugin or something that will allow you to shift the formant as well. Another alternative is to go with a vocoder. Both might sound really cool. Just soem suggesstions. This song really has potential I think and I'd really like to hear a polished copy .

Cheers,
Zac

Man, this sounds too Eurodance for my taste, but a great effort nonetheless.

Interesting Beginning with a nice acid-type synth. The percussion works very well too, the FX fit very nicely. Panning is great That beeping synth in the beginning stands out too much, and I'd reduce the interval between the first two notes of that beep, the second one comes too late in my opinion. I'd replace that synth with something else, it doesnt really fit in my opinion, something seems odd about it, or at least turn it down. But I admit, it's catchy :P
I think your main problem is that your track felt quite empty in a way. Don't get me wrong, you have many elements which are very well arranged, but you still seem to be lacking some kind of fundament. What about some pads? I see in the end you use that acidline to back up the rest of your track and instantly it sounds fuller. I think you need something constant in the background, especially for the lower-mid area so that it sounds warmer.
Anyway, the break is really awesome³ ! And I love the vocals, sounds great. Gives me some inspiration on a vocal trance tune I'll do maybe
Cool tune, keep it up!

First of all : maybe it's wise to search another host cause these sites really suck imho.

About the song :
acid synth is nice, kick could use some compression/eq
I don't really like the patch you used for the melody in the following part. It doesn't have enough power and sounds a bit cheap. It sounds out of sync to sometimes. I noticed some other quantize problems later on. Percussion sounds okay. For the first vocal try you did some really cool things. 1 remark : the reversed reverb thing is cool but don't overdo it. At 5 minutes you should find a major melody line and drop the vocals for some time.
It's okay but with some changes it could be much better !
Keep it up mate, I can hear an evolution in your productions
