Thank you for getting this out before christmas. And if I-Tunes hadn't closed submissions it might have only been available there. I do not use it can't find any version of the user agreement to do so I can agree to. So again Thank you and looking forward to listening to the songs soon.
As in as soon as I double check my bank account the budget gets wonky this time of year.
Forgot you can listen first. Still going to purchase a little later. It sounds good but you know there are a couple spots where you had trouble. Biggest stumbling point I think you are running into though is that Harvey's affectation brings you down one register and most of these songs are requiring you to get into your high end.
It also could have helped had you had a bit more help on the mixing end. If the audio of your voice were first processed and then the audio could have (in most songs) main theme and background seperate to be adjustable you could have really painted a picture bringing up different parts when more emphasis or coverage were needed.
I get the feeling you had to get through all of these in the same day with little time to practice singing staying in character voice.
Gonna agree with Daniel about needing to see about transposing into a lower key in the future, but I've also noticed something else as I listen to the album. It seems to me that Harvey's voice slips more when you're being relatively quiet; when you're really just belting it out, you sound a lot more like Harvey. Probably better, in the future, to just belt it out and turn the recording levels down to avoid distortion, rather than keep your voice small and intimate, as it were.
This will be a post-Christmas purchase for me but am SUPER excited. Been wondering if you'd ever have a chance to do this since way back with the alternate endings to the first Silent Hill reviews. Made me think of the Christmas album I have with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.
Just a bit of constructive (?) feedback - when I clicked on the ad, I was hoping for a sample or two. That always goes a lot further towards getting me to buy an album than telling me about it.
(Others are saying samples are available on the link - cool, and I'll check them out, but would've been nice to have them here.)
I'll be away from the 'net until early January, and won't be able to get it until then. At which point, I'll also need to order the TGWTG DVD and CD... could you sell this through their shop, too?

Unfortunately not. The rights I purchased for the covers of the songs are only concerning digital publishing rights, not physical copies (yes, there is a difference, unfortunately).
PayPal won't take my credit card which I always use for internet purchases, and have also used to get the Ballad of Linkara, which happened through PayPal as well, if I remember correctly.

I haz sad. :( "
Well, if you have a checking account or a bank account in general, it should be possible to link it directly to paypal, if you're willing to do that. ^_^

I'm willing to and it's done. :)
I'm glad I can support the show, especially since I barely get any commercials here.

Very well done, sir. Unfortunately I don't have the money for it until next week, but this will definitely be my belated Christmas present to myself.

ReplyDeleteI was curious if you still play violin because I can imagine Moarte doing so in his spare time.
ReplyDeleteHey, is that 'the Complete Clone Saga Epic' on your bookshelf? Why?
ReplyDeleteI just listened to the first song... and I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteIf the songs are still available after the week of Christmas, I will definitely be able to buy it.
I hope that you guys on Atop The Fourth Wall enjoy both your Christmas and Christmas Eve. Take care!

Well, thank you very much and it's greatly appreciated! ^_^
You're welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteGood effort, however, completely unremarkable.
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought Christmas couldn't get any better than getting Camelot on blu-ray and getting a Wreck it Ralph plush, my fangirl dreams come true~
ReplyDeleteI must buy this no matter what it takes. *0*
