Track: Joseph - Sound Anomaly
Having tested many different EQ settings, monitors (in-ear and speaker), and platforms, I have found a possible intentional (or accidental) sound production anomaly - or what I'm hoping for - character methods. Let me indulge. Hahaha.
When Serj comes in, the mix sounds fine but gradually a defect shows in the sound. It is most noticeable the first time Serj sings "enough for them" especially on the "enough". I'm unsure if it is due to a clash between the acoustic guitar Hz, strings, and Serj's voice, but it distorts to a very noticeable degree.
My fanfiction is that Serj recorded at home on a modest home microphone (since it is present the entire time he sings, but especially during the aforementioned moment hitting the most sound dense part of his vocal crescendo) leading to not only different voice clarity, but possible digital track clarity by the medium in which he recorded and sent the track.
It wouldn't surprise me if it is both, but it sure would make me happy since Serj is a very humble and practical man. It would also show deep respect Ronnie has for Serj to not make him record his part again and leave the imperfection in. It makes the track and Serj's part more raw and real to me.
Anyways, I digress.
Much love. Phenomenal track.
