A song for my wife. I just finished writing the song today so this is my first attempt to make a recording of this tune. The acoustic and the vocals were recorded in one take -- just to see how the song would work out. I wanted to suprise my wife with her song, so while she was on an errand I recorded the vocal and acoustic. Since I had to wrap it up within an hour I know the vocals are "a little pitchy dog" , but I wanted to get it recorded while it was fresh. I plugged straight into my Presonus Firestudio mobile and I used Ampire software for electric guitar and bass. The acoustic and vocals were recorded with a NEW Neumann TLM 102. I used EZ drums and tapped in some midi drums (I'm a lousy drummer). I plan to go back to go back and re-record it, hopefully with a better vocal ... Anyway ... thanks for listening.

My two cents -

Find a drummer! :) The drums are really taking away from the song IMHO. They have a real herky-jerky feel to them, and are often out of time with the song.

If that's not possible, I'd try editing the drums to a grid maybe? This song really needs a live drummer though.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try to redo the song and will experiment with other drum patterns and maybe some added percussion ... I'll see what I can come up with. A "real" drummer really isn't a possibility for me at this time ... but I'll work on it!

Thanks

Jim
