Having reviewed 'Vampire' in an earlier video, I have a go at creating my own version of the vocal sound. Featuring Betty, Debbie, and Audio Phil.

I too am immensely impressed by your voice David. I think you should record us a whole track! Well done.

The Master knows when he is pushing it, and gives us reason to stay by telling us Debbie and Betty coming up soon. Very clever. Loved it. Unfortunately, not like a sound engineer...because I am not one. Thank you for the take on Ms. Rodrigo...

You've a wonderful singing voice - makes for a lovely demo and personally more to my taste than the original. Thank you very much for the hypothetical breakdown - walking through with your thought process is very useful and appreciated.

When AI really gets going in conjunction to superb hardware the guv'mint will have to pay people to have children by "normal" methods. It will be like the first bedtime for royal couples in medieval times; there will be an audience to make sure the reproductive (formerly the marriage) contract is carried through.

Not typically a fan of pop music, but when i heard this track on the radio it hit me like a ton of bricks. Never listened to her before, soon after i was enjoying the whole album. Always fun to discover something out of what you would normally listen to.

@mcpribs 10 ай бұрын

Excellent demonstration, especially for viewers lacking production or mixing experience! I wholly agree with the tube mic and pre, though I would default to an 1176 style (Purple Audio MC-77, specifically) plugin for thickening, prior to saturation (great shout on Decapitator) or clipping. Though, I, too, would shy away from the extreme compression, saturation, and limited dynamics.

Have you by chance checked out her live recording with Darling West? "Family Sessions #61 // "Deja Vu'" (Olivia Rodrigo) ft. Moyka"

@gau-pen 10 ай бұрын

The wave gets "tube" distorted / clipped only on the tops because the tube amplifier handles the wave with a d/c offset in a way that the bottom of the wave is still positive. In that way if it gets amplified only the top gets to meet its limits and therefore clips. In a tube way, so it's a soft clip.

I saw the previous vid; second time 'round Olivia's version is the one that I needed a warning for. I hit the mute button PDQ but I got the shudders all the same. I am reminded of those tranny radios providing muzak in shops which are tuned very slightly off the station.

I would like to reach you regarding all of this, and some sugestions that i would like having your opinion on, is there any email that I can contact you? I have been able to "remaster" this song and bring (in theory) +8-10db of headroom and no clipping. It's not some kind of magic but I would like to have an opinion on trained ears and also (maybe) open some ideias for you on the process I went through. Thanks

Use a de-esser next time. The sibilance is freakingly loud. Patch it before the reverb, because the sibilance will 'splash' the reverb too much otherwise.

@shipsahoy1793 10 ай бұрын

I don’t know Dave, I think that’s the problem with a lot of recordings. “They” try to squeeze too much life out of them. I guess it’s all about personal preference and what sells in high volume (see what I did there lol), but I find it to be very annoying , the more they overuse different techniques just because they can. It also masks inadequacies of the performers.. More so these days, than many decades ago now. Remember when you had to be a performer more than a recording artist to get a tune done, and you didn’t have auto tune and pro tools, or whatever, to make up for your inadequacy as a performer.😉

I think you're out on a limb here. Clearly you like the song but you're conflicted about this fact. Is her style emphatic and theatrical ? Yes. But so were those of David Bowie and Robert Plant, for that matter. As for the sound quality, it works as a pop song.

@Dave_Outside 10 ай бұрын

This music is just for fun, doesn’t matter if it’s not the best quality recording. It’s not something people will be listening to 5 years from now, or even 2 probably lol. Just pop music. It’s not something I’m sitting at home listening to like I would Pink Floyd etc. Basically throw away music.
