listening analysis

Whitney Houston was extremely flat, out of tune and tone deaf. She was attempting to hit the high notes by straining her voice, which sounded so awful. It seemed as if she was shouting instead of actually singing. In the first clip it is showing a comparison of how good she was before, but even in that clip she made a slight mistake by hitting the wrong note near the end.


Mariah Carey is distinctively out of tune and very flat, neither is she attempting to sing the correct notes. she is also out Breath and is forcing herself to sing Mariah also had so many voice cracks. it seems that she has damaged her voice over the years with the way she sings.


 If you forward the song to (2:40) the microphone suddenly turns off due to technical difficulties, but before that incident occurred she did sound strained in certain areas.


Track1
In the first track the audio error was the drums its sounded very distorted.To fix the error I would either redo the drums or I would repeat listening to the track again and remove the unwanted sounds that's not needed.

Track2
You can hear the metronome ticking which is used to help the guitar be on time. There is also a few pauses between the vocal and guitar. I would remove the metronome out of the song.

Track3
The first error in this track is that you can hear coughing and unwanted sounds within the audio. I would either redo the recording and try and make less noise, or I would just edit out the noise. The main vocals are not panned out properly and you can only hear from the right side. The vocals are not very clear either. I would make the vocals much more clearer and let the vocals be panned in both ears. The vocals in the second verse are muffled and are out o tune. I would re-sing and possibly use auto tune to improve the vocals. There is a guitar riff which is out of time with the other instruments. I would redo the guitar riff so it doesn't sound out of time. There is a moment when the vocalist stutter causing delays, it seems that the vocalist had forgotten the lyrics. I would make sure that they either have lyrics with them or they know it well. At the end of the song there is a pop sound. I would remove that as its not needed in the song and it doesn't correct.
