I know its been a while, but I whipped this up in a couple of days, and wanted to share. Something short and sweet

http://breathehope.com/audio/spite.mp3 / 4.8 M.

Just to add, I am also maybe looking to collab on something kinda acoustic-ish.

Cheers.
Danielle.

Lovely. Is this what it's like to have restraint & class?
From now on I think space girls should always sing with glitchy typewriters!

The stereo field placement is just perfect.

OMG, it does sound like a typewriter! lol. I made these silly beats from a random file of some guys camping trip, and he was intentionly hitting woods and doors and stuff. It was at the free sound project. Bassically it was a field recording. I recommend this site if you guys don't know about it. I also have made some recordings, there, just look for breathehope.

And take take take.

As your other work there is this warm and innocent touch around it.

One thing I do want to note is how to my ears it seems the instrumentation compared to your voice sounds too full and slightly too powerful, where the voice within the mix sounds a little shrill. Perhaps some drastic eq'cutting on the instruments especially round 1500-4000 (not all of it offcourse, but just a few cuts) to thin the instrumentation out. I think it will balance out the track better. Just my thoughts though and I could be way off

Another CAD mic fan!! I've an M-177 and an M-37 (that one is broken, CAD sent me M-177 as a replacement).

Nice track, again. Thanks for the reference to the freesound project. I had completey forgotten about it.

I still don't know anything about the technical side of mixing, but I try my best with meh ear :/ Maybe its because sometimes, I prefer my instrumentals over voice that I do this. I am so shy. u_u. I wish I was more confident in my singing.

I hear you and perhaps I should have taken that in account as well; but I can tell you that you have one heck of a voice, just keep using it and the confidence will grow

I have to comment here.
I am the most over-critical about people's singing & completely aside from the fact that I like the way that you sing, the style, etc. I have to say there's nothing I'd criticize about your singing. And believe me when I say I'm always more than willing to try to point out flaws that so many people miss - warbly vibrato, imprecise slurring into notes, flat pitch, affected voices that the singer can't really point off, singing through the nose (oftentimes the result of coming from a country/western background), holding phrases too long & clipping the end of a lyric, etc.

You do none of these which is itself a miracle. You're singing is great & I hope you can get over your shyness.

I can recommend doing what I do: sings weird things at complete strangers on the street for no reason... you don't have to sing a whole song, just stand around and sing really loud once in a while until it just doesn't matter that anyone's watching

Oh by the way I just came by to bump this

You've got a beautiful voice - really nice kinda fragile quality to it - phrasing's excellent - especially on the 'darling'.
I agree with the comment about the equing on the mix though to focus atention even more on your beautiful voice.
This one's a keeper.
think i'm going to spend more time in the cafe
