Okay, so I wrote this song this morning and went to go do a scratch track on my laptop so I wouldn't forget melodies, chords, etc.
Anyway, as I got it all out, I remembered that I hadn't really done any real recording on my new laptop- so the end result of the morning's work is this track. My drums are all up at church, so the track's a great deal more subdued than I envision.
I'm not satisfied with the lead guitar tone right now (or the rhythm for that matter). I guess the guitar amp plugin I was using on the old laptop must have been downloaded separately. I don't even remember what plugin it was, so I'll have to go looking again... but the end result is a totally clean rhythm track (Ibanez Artcore semi-hollow) and a "fuzzy" lead track from the same guitar.
I'm really pleased with how the vocal came out. I played with some delay effects, and it sounds nice to me. Very clean, very rich... although you may disagree.
Anyway, let me know what you think about the song, the recording, whatever. It's mainly for my own reference and/or to send to band members when it comes time to learn it, but I certainly don't mind getting some ideas on how to improve my recording techniques.

Thanks!
