    I'm writing an alt rock ballad. need pointers, mates.

    I would just like feedback on everything, especially the vocal. Also, whatmshou!d I do about the drums. Nobody ever likes the drums in my songs, but they are the part I never do myself. WHAT am I doing wrong regarding the drums? Do I write to them wrong?

    Can I PM someone for feedback on my first attempt and writing and recording a song?

    I like it! It sounds so well mixed. It seems like there is a bit more ambience than I'm used to when otherwise listening to a CD quality mix, but I think it works. I'm writing a song that I uploaded onto here. Maybe you can support this local songster. lol Rock on!

    Mastering?

    I certainly have to agree that I am an artist that does not have the skills nor patience to mix my own material correctly, but then again, I'm working without all the equipment I would need to do so. But I reccommend looking into downloading free music making programs to help round out your...

    Trying to improve this alt rock song to the point of showing off -with my own talents

    Lemme know how this sounds regardless of mixing-- but offer adivce if you can on the mixing if you feel you can. I'm mostly concerned about the vocals, and I'm trying to finally put my 13 years of learning to sing to practical use . Plus, I wrote it all except for the drums. Actually, I...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    I would respond with fixing what is wrong with my vocals after going over the feedback. I have Chicago right down the road from me and so I wouldn't have to move to LA to make something good out of my trade. LoL But here is a newer version of the song--transposed down, totally new melodies...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    If my vox really were off time, then that was probably just totally an accident. But yeah, I'm angry if someone like the dude from the other website says I cannot sing, but he won't tell details while I've never had a fair chance to sing any original music in the right key, yet. I've had...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    He won't answer me. He's ignored my question for three days and he keeps just trolling and aggressively saying that I can't sing and that absolute random crap is coming out of my mouth---as if I've never learned ANY elements of vocal music or what singing is or something. Don't know why he has...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    You don't have an opinion on that? I'm getting ready to transpose the key down to a more singable one for myself. But one dude just said that it sounded like random noise coming out of my mouth. I don't hear what he meant.

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    Hey, somebody said my vocals are missing timing , and I can't hear any parts that matter in which I'm singing off-rhythm. What does that guy mean by "timing"?

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    The drums I had to take from an online source. I have much less control over the drums than all the other tracks, because the drums are the only part I did not write and they are all prerecorded on one track--not in stereo, I don't think. Any suggestions on helping a mono prerecorded drum...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    I think I know what you're talking about. It's during the chorus, right? I'm opening my throat a lot, there. Here's where I think I picked up that habit:: bands called "Breaking Benjamin" and "Type O-Negative". For example, in Breaking Benjamin's 2001 album song, "Home", Ben B., the lead...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    Oh, BTW, I am transposing the song down to A#. It turns out that the other song in which I was singing in A#(when I sounded too weak), I was singing a melody that went no higher than the 3rd of the scale-and that was in the chorus. Also, the song was in A# Major rather than minor, so that was...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    Oh, keep in mind that I'm not really "singing" the whole thing. You actually hear a lot of my "garbage" and "practice" vocals in this. I'm only really needing feedback for the first verse up until before the "prechorus", then the choruses themselves. All other garbage, ignore. So, I suppose...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    Thanks RFR. Interestingly enough, I used the term "sweet spot" when helping others learn how to sing. I thought I found it. But I transposed music recently 4 times and found out that I cannot reach my sweet spot if it's in a lower key---It is currently in B minor. I experimented with A#/Bb...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    Hey, miroslav, I was wondering what you think of this comment: Some guy on another website said I can't sing for shit after he heard this mix of mine and he said I shouldn't continue. Why would he say that? Any thoughts, bro? He said everyone is telling me bullshit by not just saying that...

    Here's an alt-rock song that I'm currently writing. Are the vocals off-key?

    The lyrics are temporary. I'm not finishing the final lyrics until I get a melody with everything on pitch. Somebody else on a different website who was critiquing my song said that the chorus is where the off-pitch notes are bad. It's like I'm getting different answers from different people...

    Can i sing

    It seems as if you are singing while working on something else like fishing. To really "sing" sing, try emulating that which you like---which would really involve finding what key in which you "sing" best, and then sing loud. It takes dedicated practice to become a singer in the sense that I...
