Freaky babyz

Very funky and primal house track with lots of animal noises smile. I was inspired by being animalistic, Halloween and getting sweaty on the dancefloor. Still feel like my vocals aren't cutting through the mids as much as I'd like so I'm open to any feedback that might help! My goal is to improve my mixing and mastering skills through WB. Enjoy!

cool track! i like the vocal layering, especially towards the end w/ the whispers in the background.

with most female/higher-formant-pitch vocals i gently roll off everything below ~180Hz and pull down some of the low mids (like 400-800Hz) by some amount depending on the source. this helps the 1K-3K pop out a bit more, which is what your brain is most attuned to w/ vocals. also don't be afraid to be heavy handed with compression, go nuts with very low thresholds and high ratios. you'll need to use a noise gate or some manual editing before compression to cut out mouth clicks and lip smacks, de-ess the sibilant sounds, and then probably manually adjust the volume for breaths afterwards, but it'll sound way more present, cut through the mix more and help w/ clarity.

Hey

Big fan of the self recorded vocals
Great track construction thoughout

Enjoyed big_smile

Track is dope! I LOVE IT!!
the vocals sound great overall(if ya don't mind me saying: you have a very sexy voice), sounds like you'll figure it out for your own style/voice, and there's good advice given already, i'd just add: you could try EQing your reverb-send differently than the dry signal of your voice(this can open up space for both to exist in the same space, then the compression/limiting on the master can handle it better/differently too).

yeah! this is HOUSE
