Finding Faults

Finding Faults

The Beatles - Yer Blues

One of the biggest and most noticeable faults would be at 3:16 where the drummer does a fill and the song changes to a slower tempo but it almost seems like the turnaround interrupted the whole song.

When the vocals were recorded, they were mixed lower than the instruments which would make the vocals seem like they are being drowned out by the rest of the band.



Love - You Set The Scene

The first fault is at the start of the song where the guitar riff being played at the beginning is hard panned to the right.
When the bass guitar and the drums come in 4 bars afterwards, they are hard panned to the left, when most songs have the bass and drums balanced in the middle.
Another possible musical fault could be that the bass guitar clashes with what the guitar is playing.
Every instrument apart from the guitar is being hard-panned left which doesn't sound right since the guitar melodic line doesn't stop playing apart from at 2:22 where the drummer does a fill to change up the song which leads to a slower tempo and now the guitar and a brass instrument is playing a different melodic line which are both hard-panned right.

When the vocals finally do come in at 2:40, they are very quiet and are being drowned out by the band who aern't even playing loudly, at 4:10, the way the guitar is being strummed seems like the song is out of time but I don't think it is.

Weird War - I Live in a Dream

When the whole band is playing, the vocals are being drowned out, also the lyrics are hard to understand apart from the words 'I live in a dream'.

At some points in the song it seems like its out of time, especially parts where the whole band cuts out for the lead vocalist to sing the main phrase of the song.
The bass guitar is playing the same melodic line as the lead vocalist for most of the song which drowns out the singer even more.

There are many of problems with the backing vocals like the fact they are very sharp are not together and in sync, some of the backing vocalists sing their harmonies slightly before another the other vocalists.
Also the backing vocals are mixed very poorly, for example, the harmonies aren't always in time and at some points the harmonies are quieter at some points and at other times they are louder.
