Can you make out the dialouge?

[Torden]

A while back I composed a fantasy inspired track with some old B-movie dialogue added to create a kind of spooky narrative at the end. Since old B-movie dialogues are quite lo-fi it can be hard to make them stand out from the mix. After a lot of tweaking I felt it ended up sounding quite ok, but I know the dialogue from beforehand, and we all know how that makes a big difference in discerning what is said.

So my question is: Can you make out the content of the dialogue, or is it drowning away in the mix?

Here is the track. Jump ahead to 2:12. The dialogue starts right after that point.

A big thanks in advance to any of you that take the time give some feedback on this

I've just got my crappy phone's speaker to go on at the mo, but it comes through beautifully clearly on this - excellent job, the dialogue is very effective, works really well - hopefully you'll get a more hi-fi opinion or two soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

A couple of friends of mine did not manage to discern the dialogue while listening on a Koss Porta Pro headset (although the claim their skill at discerning dialogue in music is horrible), so I am glad someone finally did understand it (even though it is on a phone's speaker)

hey Torden, i hear it fine on my porta-pro's. And looking at it on the spec
it isn't even breaking out of the good freq response curve. ie; it sits well in the mix

if anything, its the way the man is pronouncing the words that makes it a bit
indiscernible.

Thanks layzer! That is good to hear
