That's a whole lotta sass right there...what a voice!

Haley's beauty will leave you stunned, and her voice will give you chills!

J'adoooore !! Haley a une voix en or !! Que d'émotion avec cette version pleine de sensualité

I adoooore!! Haley has a voice in gold!! That emotion with this version full of sensuality

I do not understand how she isn't the biggest thing in music

Nice evolution from "she should have won"

A superstar in the making. Love this talent.

Thus far, no one does it like Haley. She has a magical touch that turns music into art. She's a national treasure.

Her voice is what silk, satin and patent leather would sound like if they all got together for a party.

Ty Melancon So, does no one have the guts to tell whoever mastered this track that the vocals are WAAAAY too hot?

The amount of headroom in the mix is completely shattered from her voice. Which means the rest of the band might as well just not have been there.

It ends up a distorted mess.

The transcription from style to style was beautiful, along with her voice. My complaint is laid solely at the feet of who ever mixed and mastered.

Ty Melancon Let me emphasize how much I love the performance and pmj in general, because I know this is the Internet and it's easy to misunderstand someone's point.

+Dylan Myers
Dylan Myers now that you put a spotlight on it, I can hear what you are saying. still a sizzling version though.

+Dani Renes
Dani Renes That was the first thing I noticed too. Where are the guys? I don't know about that technical side of stuff but I'm hoping it's something they can tweak. If they did it would be as magical as all their others. smile emoticon

What exactly does this mean: "The amount of headroom in the mix is completely shattered from her voice." I have 0 technical knowledge in this area. And, I can not get the cartoon 'Max Headroom' out of head now.

[john]

Not an expert but I believe hotness it refers to recording the vocals with too much gain - too loud. This apparently results in harshness - distortion that can't be fixed easily when you mix and process the track.

[Miguel]

The top Google result for "sound mixing" and "headroom" says:

The name of the game with mixes these days is headroom. This is especially true with mixing in the box (i.e. your software). What is headroom and why is it important? The short answer is: the range between your song’s loudest peaks and 0dbfs (or clipping). The benefit of lots of headroom? Sonic clarity and musicality. Do you want your mix to sound squished and flat? I didn’t think so. So listen up...

Second-most-popular result:

The most common problem we see at LANDR is a lack of headroom. Ask any mastering engineer and they’ll say the same thing: if a track comes in too hot, there’s no room left to master. There’s even an acronym for it: ‘GIGO’ stands for Garbage In, Garbage Out. Regardless of your gear and your studio setup, making sure there’s adequate headroom is the single best thing you can do for your mixes.

Headwhat?

Think of headroom as a ‘safety zone’ or the space for the loudest parts of your song (transient peaks) to extend fully without clipping which can result in a very harsh sound. Leaving headroom will do two things:

Make your tracks more dynamic,
Allow us the space to work our magic.

It’s also the best way to avoid getting this message in LANDR:

That graphic might be misleading... in working w/ the audio for my videos, the size of the audio's graphic appears to vary depending on Software... My Video editing software often shows the graphic much larger, like in the top graphic, while the same file won't necessarily show as big a graphic when I load it onto my audio software (more similar to the bottom graphic), so that's probably a very simplified way to explain it.

Of course I'm by no means an expert, know none of the terminology or basics, practically all of my audio experience has been through stumbling through the videos and putting out what I hope is decent audio (I'm sure people in the field must guffaw at my output )

But indeed a challenge, when I try to 'bring' up the clarity and volume on Haley's vocals, at least so they can be heard above the musicians, is to get it to a balanced point between volume, clarity and distortion. (I did alot of this on Lyca's Perth videos, bringing up the vocals a bit and 'sweetening' the clairty)

One of the 'tricks' I try when the audio is so loud that it 'crackles' at it's height, is to reduce what ever channel is carrying the audio that causes it. It doesn't always work, but sometimes you can bring it down enough that the ambient sounds might be able to cover it up.

So I can see why people would prefer more 'headroom' for more flexibility, it's much like when I work on a photoshop project, I can do more with an image, use more filters and adjustments, when the source image is of High resolution. Lower resolution images really limit the options of what can be done with them IMO

Student director puts modern spin on Shakespeare comedy

...The musicality used in this version of (“Much Ado About Nothing”) was very intriguing. Rather than having music you would expect to hear in a Shakespeare play, Dixon decided to incorporate more modern tracks. For instance, senior Phoebe Phelps sang a modern rendition of The Ink Spot’s “If I Didn’t Care,” with the background track arranged by senior Lauren Zehner. There was also a cover of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” played in the background, sung by former American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart.

Hi all from NZ. Longtime lurker but first time poster! I joined because here in NZ Thursdays come about 16 hours ahead of USA so its possible to see new postings on NZ itunes a lot earlier (the earliest in the world as we're the first to cross the dateline!).

So PMJ's new album - Swipe Right For Vintage - has 3 Haley tracks (out of 12) , 2 known - Lovefool and Oops I did it again - and a new third - Seven Nation Army.

Maybe our friend khemari will help us out with the new album release on Thursday with what is on the new PMJ album.
