yea, like i said, some of the vox are a bit sketchy, its a bit too late to change em now, cos i had to hand this piece in to my teacher about five minutes after i finished the actual recording, only had time to put a bit of reverb on em and fix some of the worse bum notes :p

i was wondering if there'd be any new plauge cell shit. wow you're a girl? or a uni man? or pre pubecent boy.
it's a nice little track though. needs to be mixed a bit louder, like a nice limiter ont he whole track. that's about ti. it's a cool track. vocals make you money. get a whole track done in the same time same stylish, and you could actually get a demo pimped out easily.
hell in canda, i don't know about there, but you could get money formt eh government to get an actual recording studio time and everything to budget pro recording with THIS track.
tip about track names, pop songs usually use the main vocal hook, kiss the sky, the title song. you can name it anything you want.
compress the vocals to shit and turn up the volume on them a bit more.
don't worry about rushed vocals, polished vocals are overrated. the first take is usually the best ones, the more you do it the less IN THE NOW you are, and more worn down the voice can get.
just where ever it gets scetchy add some distortion, "glitch" or something to that part 
that's what i would do. and it fits the style of this track.
make the falws your art.
(since the first take is usually good, a smart tip is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS RECORD THE PRACTICE WARM UP VOCALS wheny uo're just going over the track first. don't tlel them maybe, becasue they'll be less nervous. just a tip.)

Vocals ar WAAY off. Doesn't work for me at all, except at the beginning with the slow beat; for some reason the vocals seem to fit there OK. I would definitely rerecord them. I do think the idea could certainly work.
I think I would like a little more prominent bassline in your song. I do like a lot of the synths.
Title is fine to me: read the KLF's Manual on how to have a #1 hit, esp the part about titles

lol dude im not a girl/eunuch/kid :p i got two of me mates to record for me :p
Yea ive always recorded the warm up vocals without the singer knowing, cos you can get some right gems of lines outta the practices that u can splice into the finished product :p
ive never been able to get it loud enough 
i need a tool to cut frequencies below 20 hz and over 19khz so i got more headroom, for example, that bass eats up a lot of headroom :p
I would relly have spent a lot more time on the vocals, definitely woulda rerecorded some of em if id had the time, but its decent enough to get me a good mark in me A levels :p
cheers to everyone whos lemme know what they think 
Once i get a setup at my house ill be churning out stuff a lot faster :p will def give this tune a looking over to polish it to perfection :p

i think the idea of this track is good. the vocals are a bit off to me anyways but i know how hard it can be to get it all on tone. make sure when recording vocals you got a good mic and moniter( not sure on the equipment you are useing for recording). it will help alot. i thnk speeding it up will give it a much bigger impact and the levels do need to be a bit loader if its possable to do with out redlineing everthing. besides that its a really well made tune , just need a bit mroe master in my opion. keep it up though its a great idea and coudl be a slaming track. max respect

cheers mate
I needed to make the track the speed it is so i could fulfil the criteria for the coursework, although when i get a set up at me haouse ill be tweaking it majorly :p
Im using an Rode NT2000 for the vocals (basically, its very very good and very very expensive) but the leads and the inputs are a bit crappy sometimes, but i though it wasnt too bad here
i know it needs to be much much louder, ill be tweaking it to get more headroom when i next get a chance to tweak it :p

Yeah I always do that too, during the first take you still need to check the recording levels and headphone mix etc but I always record it anyway, sometimes there are really good bits in there.

Nice one 
is it yours? That is a very nice vocal mic, but the rodes are very cost effective, I wonder what you paid for it 
They're one of the cheapest brands of good sounding large diaphragm mics. I can recommend them as a first mic if you plan to make your own vocal and sample recordings.
About the track: the vocals are very off key indeed and that's distracting me a lot from the rest of the track 
Don't you waste my tiihiiime yay talk about drifting
It sounds nice, very trancey. A bit too trancey maybe, it's like going back in time 10 years, with the very typical trance saws and stabs
Build up is good, layering of the vocals is nice too. Did you have it in mind like this from the beginning or did it just grow to what it is?
The kick could use a good boost 
It varies a lot with the compression too, the more elements are introduced the more it is pushed in the background.
What did your teacher think of it?

It's the schools mic and my teacher is always banging on about how expensive it is :p
I was kinda aiming for an old skool trance feel cos ive always wanted to give it a go :p
Its one of those tunes that i just made up as i went along just to see what happens, originally i wasnt gonna have vocals but decided why not :p
my teacher was pretty impressed :p he spent the 90s making trance and hardcore so he was relly feelin it :p

The vocals remind me of Bjork
They sound not so good sometimes , when she goes too high
The tune is done surely for the club listening , i mean where u can hear everything from pop to drum'n'bass , its a bit trancy in general , IMHO! , likin the trip hoppy intro though
Big up

I used two different people for the vocals, and one of em hasnt got very much of a clubby voice so it sounds a lil off in some areas but it should be decent enough to hand in to me teacher and get a decent mark

for vocals you can cut 200hz and lower, sometimes higher for girls they singer an octave higher than guys, and these girls are going into the higher register. then after that, noise gate, or noise reduction like in cool pro/adobe audiition, than compress.
if you have expanders you can use that as a noise gate as well. i quite like the chicks voices.
