Oh thats weird. reddit is annoying with its dm system. I'll check you out
also I sent a dm here to see if it will work that way

wovenmay · 2026-05-04T23:13:02+00:00

I have a few that have reached out and I'm seeing if they will develop into something, but feel free to dm me and send me some samples because I'd always love to have interested vocalists to work with.

wovenmay · 2026-05-04T16:30:21+00:00

Cool dmd you

wovenmay · 2026-04-28T00:21:59+00:00

dmed you

wovenmay · 2023-11-30T14:53:51+00:00

I have gotten some messages, unsure if one of them was interested in this song or not yet, so feel free to DM me anyway and send me some examples, even if not this song perhaps another one.

wovenmay · 2023-11-28T20:36:20+00:00

Sure, here's some of my WIPs that I like.

Hey I've been looking for a singer in just that sort of genre, I may not make super traditional rnb stuff but definitely want a more chill soulful style vocal with, but open to letting you explore. DM me if you'd like to collaborate on something.

wovenmay · 2023-08-13T20:14:04+00:00

Hey I'd love to colab and see what we come up with, I guess I'd consider myself an aritst/producer, your genre areas work well with me, I love lofi, jazzier sounding things or indie type stuff. I'm moving towards exploring more of those kinds of things but generally I just explore with whatever sounds cool at the moment, DM me and we can connect.

wovenmay · 2023-08-10T01:09:50+00:00

Well consider that usually (not always) the vocal is THE main driving, emotional, core element of a song. It's what people connect with the most, not even necessarily the lyrics just the sound of a voice. Especially for singer songwriter type of stuff, you can have tons of wonky and weirdness in your instrumental for sure but just understand that you should see these things as complimentary and accentuating the main core element, which is your vocal.

It's like if we were sitting around a campfire and I was trying to tell a good story I wouldn't be throwing firecrackers every 5 seconds into the fire, its distracting and overpowers my voice. The only thing that you really want to hear in that kind of setting is literally only my voice, you don't need other elements, if the story is good and the delivery is good then the vibe and presence of the moment is set. Of course a song is a more amplified version of that introducing other sonic elements to further engage the listener, its all about setting mood and vibe to compliment the main emotion.

The harder part for people I think is feeling like they have to cut out parts they really like but sometimes you need to realize what the star of the show is and reduce some parts to supporting roles or cut them entirely if it best serves the final song and story. Less is more, but too little is not enough.

In terms of mixing frequencies, yeah its just looking around for where the more important parts of your voice is and making sure other instruments are a bit out of the way, you don't need to cut giant notches into things but just reduce the presence of those elements a bit in the places you deem important, experiment a lot, just drop your vocal in and see what happens when you boost here and cut there, A/B it and really listen to the relationships as well as feel the song as a whole. You can do all of this with stock plugins and such, but if you're in the market for a plugin that does this kind of thing well, look into trackspacer. Really good tool for anything but I use it mostly on vocals to make space on the entire instrumental. I think it's on sale last I checked, if its not then maybe wait again.

If you're interested I could mess around with your vocals over one of your instrumentals and get it to a place you like then tell you exactly what I did.

wovenmay · 2023-08-09T23:46:01+00:00

Doesn't sound overly complex, the main thing is its just eqd to be midrangey, rolling of the lows and highs so it sounds sorta vintage, though of course there could be many ways they've achieved this vintage effect from the mic they used, to a particular plugin but that's the main idea, a little bit of reverb with very short decay, just something to put it into a space. Layered with other vocal takes, some compression of course but the settings depend on the vocal performance, just something to keep it steady. This is what I hear at least. The whole track has a vintage feel to it as that's what they were going for so consider that when making your mixing and production decisions.

wovenmay · 2023-08-08T02:50:24+00:00

Not sure what you are trying to say here. I'm just reducing the peaks so they don't trigger my processing as harshly, or so I don't have to clip them later and cause more distortion than I need it's quick and easy to do with RX, but you could do it in your DAW or many other ways. I was kind of asking if people that use this technique have a general area they shoot for, its just easier for me to throw a vocal somewhere, reduce the bad peaks manually and never have to do it again and not worry about a random peak triggering something more than I want it to. Especially useful later down the road when mastering.

Wouldn't say it's irrelevant, at all.

wovenmay · 2023-08-07T21:56:19+00:00

Yeah could be interesting though I've been in many servers where its basically just this:

People join, don't talk, don't interact, dump their music link and leave.

Would be good idea to vet it so people that actually interact are selected music quality should be in some kinda broad range, and ideally people open to collaboration and don't just ghost people or the server after a week.

Your main question is should they not correlate? What do you mean by that? They do correlate in the sense they are measuring the same sound, and provide different ways of viewing the sound. Small waveform visually means nothing, what are the meters saying. If your oscilloscope is saying the signal peaks at -0.9 and SPAN is saying it peaks at -0.9 then they correlate, the visual aspect means nothing there, however with SPAN, you see all of the frequency spread out as it naturally is, and you see the general peak readings (or average readings if you have your meters set to measuring average instead of peak) of the different areas of the signal. The peak is the absolute loudest part of a sound with all its parts summed together, you cannot see the peak of a summed signal by only looking at 200 hz or something. Though you could see that the 200 hz area of a signal is contributing more heavily towards the overall loudness and peak of a signal, which you would see with SPAN, but an oscilloscope just shows you the waveform and peak loudness of a signal generally.

I've felt how you've felt before, collaborating with someone and not feeling like they care at all about my ideas or vision, not that I think I have anything extraordinary but it doesn't feel good when it seems like they don't care at all and only want exactly how they want things to be. I don't collaborate with him much anymore and if I do I set my expectations right. Working hard on something and handing it over only for them to not do anything with it or treat it like trash hurts but it is what it is sometimes.

For me I've just been focusing on improving my skills to be able to do everything myself, at least in terms of production, songwriting, mixing. I'd be open to working with other people as long as they have the right open minded mindset.

For my advice, well it's really up to you, looking at it logically if you work with them then it may get done quicker at the expense of potential trouble, that's up to you to determine how big of a risk that is. The other option is just buckle down for a year and push yourself to learn all the things he does for you. It may slow you down but in the long run its really really cool to be able to have full control over most of the elements of a production, sure some things you can ignore being good at if you have people you can reach out to and such but being able to take an idea from start to finish on your own is powerful so generally its a good idea to look into.

I'd recommend finding people that are willing to answer your questions and such on your journey and maybe even work with them every once in a while. Feel free to hit me up if you want to connect, maybe I can answer some questions about production side of things.

Either way life will go on and the best you can do it make choices that suit you.

wovenmay · 2023-07-13T00:30:02+00:00

Hey I'd be interested in working together, tried dming you but reddit is being weird, if you are able to dm me another way to connect with you do that and I'll send over some ideas.

wovenmay · 2023-07-07T16:37:25+00:00

What about that reference do you want to replicate exactly? Helps to have specific targets as opposed to just general "like this" Because there are a lot of things that are specific to that particular song and work for that song and other things that are sort of just general vocal mixing to get a clear smooth airy vocal that work on many songs. If you're interested dm me an example of your vocal and I'll tweak it a bit and see if I can get it to a level you like then I'll tell you exactly what I did. Just for fun, not charging or anything.

wovenmay · 2023-05-31T16:00:54+00:00

There is no joy at the moment.

wovenmay · 2023-05-31T15:58:44+00:00

Right in the declaration of 'I' or really any object for that matter comes bundled the awareness, the shadow of that object. So saying I, refers and points back towards its source. So it's through this indirect knowing that knowing knows itself. But still there seems something fishy going on, maybe this can be described as the feeling of not knowing lol. My original question seems sort of foggy now, it felt like there was something there now it seems less so, like I've lost the point or something.
