Yeah mixing the vocals is tough on this one and I agree with your take. The problem is my vocal range - it’s right at C2 in this song, same range as the guitar. So the unmasking plugin is pulling it in front of the rhythm guitar.
That amp looks awesome 
storytelling mode …
see this guy ? :
he’s a good friend of mine and :
(she’s called Juliette)
funny enough, this guitar is from the same series than Greenie, the MIA Highway One series which was some kind of vintage reissue with minor modern features like the 9,5" radius. Juliette and Greenie are both close to origin with a repaint an all pickups and electronics changed to more modern and agressive parts. perfect for me.
yeah that’s exactly the point, and to me it’s an anti-problem. the vocal range of a man and the frequency spectrum of a guitar are quite close (the guitar get way higher with the harmonics, but the main frequencies are more or less the same), but in fact that’s really the point. the rythm guitar NEEDS to be more in front than the vocal line. might be counter intruitive but I think I know your level about mix and production and I know it won’t be shocking to you 
and you very probably already know that.
what I’m trying to say is that when you have two instrument in the exact same frequency range, you have to choose which gets the priority. your plugin set the voice to the front ; it’s OK for a pop mix, not for a rock/punk/all-our-things mix. I guess it’s something you can set in your plugins ?
I’m not saying your mix is wrong (“non-working”), I’m more trying to point what would make it sound more in the spirit of the song itself. which is important. the purpose of production, somewhere … 
Man, cranking them out… 
Well-oiled machine 
So, is this in the original key? Have you considered transposing it to “force” you to sing a little higher? To me, it feels that when you hit the higher notes (like in “the DIE is cast”), your voice opens up much more (in a good way)…
Again, take this all with a grain of salt… that’s just me talking from a purely gut feeling point of view (without worrying about all the technical and other challenges lurking behind).
And I kinda see @terb’s point re: the mix, but everything else is just top notch!!
I like that one. I can’t remember off the top of my head but it reminds me of the band who did Cars.
Also the vocals are good. The melody be and reverb just sounds like an intended effect in the context of the song.
@kerushlow . . . You mean Gary Numan? . . . 
It does seems to have that beat, now that I think of it . . .

Just the general vibe. I admittedly know the Fear Factory version much better lol.
Wow. If we made Husker Du sound like Gary Numan, we’ve done something very wrong indeed
Thank you for sending this - I see you deleted it but I got it in email and it was helpful
Yeah, original key. I refuse to transpose for my voice because I am more a bass player than a vocalist so if I go all prima donna singer on the band, I am just fighting with myself
You’re right about my range though. It basically starts at A2 so this is right near the bottom (song is E minor and the vocals start on the fifth.) If I sing it an octave higher (like Grant) the high notes go out of my range.
I actually pulled his vocal solo into melodyne to verify I was singing the right notes
Nice job @MattHinchliffe,
Timing is key on this Floyd classic, and you did a great job of it😎
Cheers Brian
Laurent thanks so much for the advice. I agree it sounds much better mixed with the guitars more forward. Just updated the post above, here it is:
I like that a lot better.
Nice job @Noisembryo,
I don’t know the song, your timing was really nice, as was the tone👍
Cheers Brian
Another great cover Howard @howard,
You guys are really smashing it up in Tokyo😎
Cheers Brian
Thanks Brian!
you’re very welcome ! I much prefer this version too, it sounds way more … rock !
Great cover @howard. Better than the first version.
Good job!
Quarantine cover #3.
I was working on this song a few months ago and I was doing OK with it and then @JoshFossgreen posted the Boring Bass Lines Fixed (With 1 Simple Walkup Trick) - YouTube Boring Bass Lines Fixed lesson. I added a few walk-ups to the tune so I’d like to know what you all think.
Thanks for watching!
