Divi, that's really nice to hear... you're "blowing smoke up my ass" as they say, but... still... ;)

I thought I would not give a comment on this. The only reason is because the best and (in my opinion so far) only version that counts, is Jeff Buckleys version of Hallelujah (on the album Grace).
Jeff Buckleys version, defenitely worth listening to: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/Hallelujah/1NsD1C
Anyway, Dividend gives me inspiration, after I've been listening to your version (several times now) this morning, when he says - "best interpretetion...".
Firstly I say: - "Hold your horses Div"... B)
On a second thought though, I say: - "Hold my horses MaxB", realizing this is Dividends opinion.
Anyway, my opinion is that no version can compete with Jeff Buckleys.
When that is said I must say I do like your version.
One draw back is at one or two parts in the track your voice have to many notes on its way to the note intended.
That makes your interpretation personal, but I can do without that lower note on the way to "...major lifts". To me it's enough having them lower notes on "fourth" and "fifth".
So, the conclusion from me is, not the best interpretation (if I compare it to Jeff Buckleys), but pretty good!
I have never heard the saying: - "blowing smoke up my ass" and wonder if google translate can tell me what that means... ;)
BaconMcMuffin:
Max, I'm not sure a out Google translation on that one, but it made me wonder where the term came from... Found this: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/305333 interesting to say the least.
You are right... Buckley, indeed does an amazing version - and given your thoughts, I'm glad that you took a listen to my attempt! :)
I DID play around with the notes on "major lift" - in fact, I have several takes where I did not slide up to it, but in the end, that was my favorite take overall, so I left it in. I did think about editing in a non-sliding version... But you now how it is.... You start one way and end up another, and keep changing and adding as you go along, and then it becomes altogether someone different than What you had when you started!
Marre, Clavi, thank you for the nice comments! And for listening!
freddy:
This song has been done to death, although its a great song.
Your vocals are great though, on the verge of being overdramatic but they still work!
Production and arrangement is a tad boring for me, nothing that stands out. I would love to hear a Chrome cover, with full-on industrial orchestration to enhance some of the parts, still keeping other parts soft and mellow. Like its played in my head right now :)
Dividend:
I agree with Freddy. I don't like Buck's version, he even changed the lyrics, but a chrome-enhanced Hallelujah, would probably be outstanding.
Please, please..

To answer you’re original question i think it would be a shame to use to much compressor or limiter on this song. There is not a lot of instrument competing about the frequencies so I think it’s good as it is, with a few minor adjustments. As someone pointed out there is some sharp S:es and sometimes it sounds like the voice recording dists. (is that a correct term? – Dists)
The arrangement is good because you’re voice is good, but I agree with Freddy that it gets a bit boring and I wouldn’t mind some strings or perhaps just a cello. In the end it lifts when the chorus comes in.
eggs :)
