Deej, I'm torn, too... I like aspects of both. It's just a
different thing across the 2-buss... both mixes are Native ITB
mixes.
BTW, gang, Candice would like to know what you all think, too
(song, performance, etc), so all comments are welcome!
(well, except for comments like: "you obviously don't know how
to push an SSL".... and other unqualified shit like that.
lol)
:D

AH HA!!!! so you applied different processing???? WTF did you do that for???
HTF are we supposed to tell the difference betwen an ITB mix and an ITB mix
if you cheat and process them differently??
sheesh!!!

Not nearly enough melisma. Whitney that sucker up several notches,
then get back to us.
No?
Screw you then.
I agree, there is an intimacy to the first one, but I think I like the
"sweeter" vocal on the second one. However, I think the vocal is down
too much on the second one.
My vote is for the second one, but grab that "Candice vox" fader and
push it up a bit....
Otherwise, I like the song a lot.

Since you asked. But remember, this is all subjective and someone else might
hear things completely different.
Mix notes: I think the intro would sound nice starting with just piano and
maybe fade the low strings in on that phrase right before the first verse. A
more "traditional" piano sound (less chorus. electric sounding) would be my
preference too. Also, it might sound more "intimate" to bring the verb down
until the really big choruses and bridges towards the end of the song. I
think leaving the strings out until the second verse and chorus might give
the song more emotional impact. It seems to peak too soon in the first
chorus and the next few sections don't really have enough space to get huge.
I also think a nice shaker in place of the drums would be cool. Or maybe try
the drums in half time (i.e. kick, rest, rest, kick, kick, rest, snare,
rest). I hear a big ritardando on that last "laying naked beside you", and
then slow down the "entranced by the beauty of"sections (especially the word
entranced sounds rushed to my ears). I also agree with some of the others
that the piano could come down at times during the vocals.
Vocal notes: Candice has a nice voice. On the first verse, at the ends of
each phrase where she says "me" sounds a little forced. I think if she tried
to make the three notes on "me" less "in time" if would flow better. It's
also the case on the second verse where she says "walls". If she could do
those more like the word "lies" in the second verse, it would be good. Not
exactly the same, but I think you know what I mean. There is a little pitch
thing on the first verse at "And if you knew all the truths" that kind of
sticks out to my ears. Again, the "entranced" section at the end seems
rushed to me. She's got a nice, pleasing voice though.
I hope you take this all with a grain of salt. I think the song sounds good,
this is just some stuff I might try to change things up a bit. I'm just some
chump with a home studio though Neil, and another set of ears will hear it
all differently.
I do like the song.

Wow - all the stuff you suggested was like a whole 'nother mix
& performance altogether... not saying what you're suggesting
isn't valid, but it's almost like saying: "Joe, you know that
part in: "Walk This Way" where you did: "da-da-da-DA, duh-duh-
duh-DA-Daaah... da-da-da-DA, duh-duh-duh-DA-daah, DAH!"...
well, you SHOULD'VE done: "Duh-DAAH-da-DAAAH-DAAH, dit, dit,
dit, dit, chinka-clang, chinka-clang", etc. It'd be like a
whole 'nother song! :D
Thanks, though!
What I'm really surprised at is: of the over 100 streams &
downloads that came from this newsgroup, no one here stepped up
& said: "Wow, that is like one of the most fucking amazing &
detailed female vocal sounds I've ever heard recorded!".
(because it's right up there, you know!)
:)
