Zeitgeist - vocal down mix

[djzap]

The issue with the vocal mix on Zeitgeist, from what I can tell, is a lack of balancing and compression. At times the vocals sound fine, usually when it's a single vocal track, but certain words will jump out, and then when the harmonies come in the volume spikes like crazy. So, this mix doesn't add any weird FX or anything to the vocal, but just adds some compression, limiting, and tape saturation, so that the vocals stay a consistent volume throughout the songs, and the harmonies are tamed. Also the overall volume brought down a few decibels to make them more 'snug' with the music. I think this has resulted in a mix where the vocals are a comfortable level in the mix, only very slightly buried like 'old Pumpkins', and don't jump around in volume at all. DM me for download

I still find Zeitgeist too dark and the music has a hardness to it which is unpleasant.

i bet your dad doesn't complain about the hardness

[Ram27]

okay, so with the vox fixed this is machina level. if james had come back [and corgan had actually let him (and/or he cared enough to want to) work on the songs for the record] this would be the infamous SD2

[Joey Goldberg]

it wouldn't tho

i like Zeit as much as the next Zeit-liker but it does not have the depth of songwriting that SD had, at all. merely a very good showcase of Jim & Bill playing together

[ninsp]

Been tellin y’all for years with proper production Zeitgeist slaps

[ButterflyBullet]

I’d like a PM too please. Anything that nerfs the choir of Billys is a must.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

pm pls. asking for a friend.
