Song about a cat! "Da Cat"!

[austinm08]

My brother wrote this, and I recorded him Christmas night. It was fun actually have a chance to record someone other than myself.

Guitar and vocals - my brother
harmony - me

Da Cat - click here

What do you think?!

[Blor007]

Lol sounds nice
The vocals blend nicely

just...lol :P

Glad you guys liked it!

Any more listeners?

You guys have good voices and the acoustic is recorded well. How did you do the thing where the guitar started out on the left, then came more into centre? Was that during recording, or did you just pan etc in mixing?

I wrote a terrible song about a cat once, and since there's not a hell of a lot of songs about cats going around, I thought I better listen to this. It's way better.

Yeah, that was panning in mixing. I actually had two tracks with for the guitar (same recording, just duplicated track) and panned them left and right.. but had the right down low until that point..

It's nice to know we're not the only ones with a song about a cat

Brotherly harmony is nicely done. The song is cute too. There was a clunk or breath at the end of one of the 1st phrases - coould you edit that out.
Feline lickin' good.

Yeah.. I listened again and noticed there's a lot of that throughout the whole thing on certain words.

Any advice on editing that? Is there any automatic fix-all way to do it? Or do I need to go up to each one and sort it out?

SORRY,
No quick fix. If you can automate your faders you can edit the noise out EACH TIME. It'd be worth it though - or re track!

No retracking.. they're coming from my brother's vocal track and he's in Mexico!

So I'll just have to edit it here sometime soon.

It would be great for kids at a campfire.

Nicely done all around-cats the world over will love it too! I bet they will all purr along~

Cute song. I like the line about ADD, "...I plot their demise... Oh, look. There's a bug." Good harmony singing. Why does it cut out suddenly? What happened to the ending? Or was it just my download?

It's about 1:37 long.. so if it's stopping before then.. check your downoad...
It is sort of an abrupt ending.. I guess.. it's a short song.
