Re: Blowing Away
What key, exactly, is that in? It doesn't seem to be the agreed +8 from the original piece?
EDIT: Oh, right, the -4.
EDIT2: Oh, you have dropbox now! 
EDIT3: Working on first verse now, as soon as the vacuum cleaner has done it's rounds!

Yep, I saw that you were using that so decided to get one too.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: Blowing Away
Dropbox is very handy indeed! I used it a lot for Panther and other collabs.
Well, first verse V1 is finished, when I exported it to MP3 it lost a lot of quality so I'm trying to fix that before I send it...
Ah, I did it as a WAV and it's a lot better. here
I may try and remove the background hiss from my parts. Your parts were very well recorded, by the way!
Thoughts?

I've just taken a look at your chorus recordings and I totally agree with you, the chorus B sound much nicer 
The recording quality isn't quite as good, there are a few pops here and there but for the first test it's great
So you're living in Russia, but you have a slight American accent, are you originally from there? Do you speak Russian?

Thanks! I sort of feel like my voice sounds too young though - It's either because I need to get some more practice or it's just that my lower notes sound that way. You might not agree, though. 
I just listened to it and it seems to me that our recordings still feel very separate. My voice is on reduced volume and more distant, while your recording seems closer and initially quieter.
What do you think?

I was born in Russia but I spent a good part of my childhood in the US, and I do speak Russian. I tried to hide my accent in the recording to match yours, but I let it slip in some parts (especially in "and it cannot find me"). xP
Something I need to inform you of: I will be leaving tomorrow on an important occasion, and basically the thing is that I'll be away for at least a week and I'll have no internet access. I hope we can postpone this by a week or so? :S
P.S. I'll still be able to work on the song though, so by the time I come back I should have all of the recordings ready.

Re: Blowing Away
I think your voice sounds a little young, but then again you are a little young It sounds fine
Yes, I need to mess with the sound balance a little, I agree.
Taking a week out is no problem, thanks for letting me know, I'll get on with some other things in the meantime
I don't suppose you'll manage to get the chorus second part recorded today? As in, the second high vocal part in the chorus?

True that...

I'm packing my bags right now, but if I get some time, I'll certainly do it. ^^

It does sound better, but it sounds like it's supposed to be the main part. In the original song, it's more subtle.
I think it's simply because I'm singing too loud, I'll just re-record that part in a quieter voice. ^^

Wow. I really struggle with the 63 for "away" in the chorus, it's right on my falsetto barrier
Do you need to change it back to +7?
I'm afraid I won't be able to record anything before I leave (in 3 hours :S).
