Heaven For Everyone (Freddie / Roger - Fickle Mix)

OK, thanks to a friend, here's my effort at an HFE Freddie / Roger duet.

It might be a bit rough round the edges, but it's the best I can do, without isolated vocal versions of each. Please don't forget to comment if you download this. :)

Cant find that much of a fault with this other than what you said. Your ideas about what you were trying achieve seemed pretty clear. Quite liked the way you had Freddie repeating bits of what Roger was singing (or was that unintentional? I havent listened to any version of the song in ages) Still nice to hear.

Well done Lord F!!

Yes, that was unintentional. That was one of the things I wasn't too happy with.

Lord F. could you possibly contact me as I want to ask you something if its ok?

Cheers

First of all, I like your mix :)
But there where 2 things I didn't like

First, at 1:20 it sounds a bit hollow (or something like that)
Second, the echo-thing at the end of the song.

Another great Lord Fickle creation ;)

Thanks Dan! The parts at 1:20, and the delay at the end are what was already on my other mix of HFE, which I used in part for this one. I think the 'hollow' sound is the unintended result of running the two versions together. I didn't know about inverting the phase then. One or two bits of it actually work, and the ears become accustomed after a few listens. What would be nice, would be to have an isolated vocal of Roger's version, so that the lines could be synchronised better.

Had a bit of a fiddle with this - not sure if I've made it better or worse! The main difficulty seems to be getting the drums in sync, with two versions running together. I've made a few adjustments to the first chorus, and the extra drum bit before that (1:18) started off as an accident, but then I thought it sounded quite good, so left it in! Also got rid of that 'tube' sounding first chorus, by using both Roger's and Freddie's vocals, instead of just Freddie's, thus avoiding the phasing effect. Oh, and seeing as no one liked it, the 'echo-thing' at the end has gone. :)

Thanks will listen.

Err...is it supposed to cut out at the end like that?
EDIT: Never mind, cruddy download.

So, what do you think now you've got all of it?

I think it sounds really good. I'm listening to this for the third time this morning!

I've literally just finshed listening to this mix and its excellent - both technically and musically. Beautifully done. My compliments to Lord Fickle (better late than never)!

Thank you!

Hi Loved your mix, it's a pitty your second version is no longer downloadable at rapidshare. would have loved to hear that version too.

OK, here it is again.

For some reason, I couldn't find the original "New Fickle Mix" on my hard drive, but I had it on a compilation. Unfortunately (for you), I had merged the intro with the outro of One Vision, which can be heard here, so I'm afraid this is the best I can re-upload at the moment.
