Weekly - Thanks for your comments! I think I like the tone of the guitar as it makes it darker i think. I actually just added a bit of bass to it.
Steven- Thanks for your comments! Yeah, I did some reverb on it already, but I'm still learning how to do use it better. I hear the pitch issues on the vocals. I think I am going to consider this a first draft and maybe re-record it again in the future. Inspiration just struck for the song so I laid it down as I felt and didn't want to try and resing it at the moment.
Rob- Thank you again for your helpful comments! I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to my stuff.
I'm actually doing separate tracking this time. Do you think the vocals should be louder? I was trying to keep them a bit balanced with the guitar.
I checked out Damien last time when you mentioned him. I agree that I am trying to do something similar to him. I definitely notice that his vocals are much crisper than mine. I think I have to work on the enunciation a bit.
I was just listening to :
YouTube - Medication - Damien Jurado . It's interesting the way this is mixed with all the guitar on the L and the vocals on the R. Pretty unusual and slightly uncomfortable listening.
I also Youtube'ed my vid :
YouTube - "I Won't Change" - Original Sad Song . I find that people that are into lyrics (myself included) enjoy the song more when they read the lyrics too. Hard to always understand what is being sung when not reading along. (Maybe also has to do with enunciation or volume level on the vocals.)
I also agree that this is a big improvement on my previous stuff. I really feel that I am growing a lot and a good part of that has been from the helpful comments on these boards. So thank you all once again.
