Thanks everyone. I'm definitely reconsidering the repeating vocals at the end. Maybe I'll replace them with some traditional background vocals to fill it out and really make it a finale. Thanks! -Harry

Thank you, thats incredible advice! When I wrote the progression, I think my favorite thing about it was the I IV progressions that reoccur all the way through, although somewhat differently. I can agree with you that it doesn't quite resolve all the time. Since I is a maj9 chord, it depends on...

Thanks! Yeah my Korg is amazing, some of the best money I've ever spent. By the repeating vocals over the top, do you mean in the last chorus?

Thank you I'm so glad you like it! I had to automate some of the piano because it was getting too loud, I suppose I'll tweak that a bit more to get it perfect. Thanks!

Hello, With some new (oh so beautiful) mics and a whole lot of practicing, I created this track of one of my favorite original songs so far. I need some comments on the mix because I'm afraid I'm missing something big in this stage. Piano (and electric piano) is a Korg d200 vocals recorded...

Hello again, I've added a new song to the soundclick page, and it would be great if I could get some feedback on it. This one is just my friend who was singing in Saving Sunday, and she did a really good job with it. She has a beautiful voice. Thanks! -Harry

I have some reverb effect on it, but I don't like the reverb that comes with Cubase. If I re-do these vocals, I'll definitely be using different plugins that I use with my Acid software that sound much better now that I look back. I always have problems recording my voice (I'm the guy in...

Now that my soundclick account has finally been approved, you can listen there if it's any easier! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1060769

Hello, I'm in the process of recording my original songs to put together a demo tape to submit for performance opportunities. So far, I've finished two tracks (almost four!) and I think they came out very well, I would just like the opinions of some more experienced artists. The first one is...

The piano is a korg sp200, not acoustic, but the sounds are great. I'm working on reaching its full potential, but since I only recently got it, I haven't had much time to explore it yet. It's funny that you both say that about "3 Minutes" because in that recording, I tracked the guitar and...

Bump :-) And I have another cover out (this time with video) of Coldplay's "Lost?" Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Harry http://www.facebook.com/harrymeltzermusic#!/video/video.php?v=347338872064&ref=mf or http://www.harrymeltzer.com

Hello, With my acquisition (finally) of a korg sp200, this is my first finished song on it. I've been playing this cover for about 3 years, and I guess it's about time I recorded it. Comments on both performance and engineering are welcome. Thank you very much...

They are actually recorded seperately, although it's good to know my seperate performances are tight enough that they seem to be done at the same time. As for the song, I have been experimenting as well with actually switching to the Am faster and then holding onto the Em just a tad longer...

Hello, I just recently recorded a simple version of my original "More than Words" (there really weren't many other choices for a title :-/). I realize the mix is terrible because I am a total novice when it comes to mixing. If you could give your best comments and how I can improve the mix that...

Of course! At the time this was recorded, I was going straight from an (oooooold) mixer through a million adapters into a crappy sound card. I believe both vocals and acoustic were recorded with an sm57. Now, I used an audiogram3 to USB with some dynamic mics (I don't yet own a condenser, but I...
