Afternoon all,
I just stumbled across this forum, firstly very informative. Cracking site
Well basically I have absolutely no intention on giving up the day job, and have no desire to become a 'singer' - but to distance myself from the stress of the day job, I do love to pick up my guitar and sing a song or two - so I'm not coming on here thinking that I'm the next Michael Buble
This is only done by myself, and never to an audience. Recently I bought Garageband for my iPad, and an apogee jam for my electric guitar. I did try using my acoustic and the iPad mic, but needless to say that wasn't the best.
Anyway, I thought that I would upload some anonymously to a soundcloud account, for my own personal reason, not trying to become something.
Some of the results are (fairly) good, and some slightly less. Some recorded using my iPad mic and acoustic guitar. Others recorded using my apogee jam and again my iPad mic.
How can I up the vocal quality a bit more - I know that getting a mic would help considerably, but y'know, just make my voice sound that touch better? Some little tip that I can take home with me, and see what happens.
My soundcloud is soundcloud.com/tim-summers
and I've pulled a few of my less bad songs into a playlist at the top:
soundcloud.com/tim-summers/sets/random-tangents-best
FYI:
As you don't know me, and I don't know you, then be as critical as you want. It's only face-to-face that I'd get upset![Thumbs Up :thumbs up: :thumbs up:](/images/smilies/thumbs_up_smiley.jpg)
