Monicker 3,035 Posted November 20, 2012 I don't hear anything unusual or horrible on the vocals. Singing behind a wall of paper, eh? I'll keep an ear out for it though. 0 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsay Lohan 10,424 Posted February 10 Some people talking about the same thing but ill say it anyways....  I just came to say that I hope a demo of this song leaks or at least an unmastered/unmixed version because the high-pass filter they put over her vocals are EAR WRENCHING. It's honestly the only reason why I don't listen to this song as often... very strange creative decision 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High pass filters do make vocals sound more crisp but at the same time they enhance S sounds and kill vocals that go above a certain DB. To solve that problem you're supposed to put the vocals in an EQ and filter out the bad parts but with American it doesn't sound like they did that so it just hurts me ears...   Normal recording vs High Pass without EQ example: https://krakenfiles.com/view/tnGKWRzpiu/file.html  You can also compare the way her S's sound on Cola vs American ... extreme difference 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
