If anyone could opine whether the mix sounds better with : 1) No dual vocals 2) Lead guitar parts between the verse 3) "Percussion" at the end. I would be greatly appreciative. Below is a link to the latest... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18434241/Day%20of%20Repentance_v3.mp3

"Sorry oneguy, I thought this one was a bit too discordant. I quite liked the melody idea and the lyrical imagery, but either the vocals are too high or the guitar is too low, the double tracked vocals are a bit distracting throughout the whole song and the picked guitar is too out of time with...

"Not bad". - Thanks! A couple of things stand out to me: 1) "The rhythm guitar sounds like it's about 10 feet behind the vocals. Don't know how you mic'd it or processed it, but that sounds a little distracting. " - Weird why it sounds that way. I Mic'ed it separately and held the mic about...

Hey guys, Thanks for reviewing my last song. I took a lot of your comments from the last song into this one. For example, in the last one I had a lot of comments that the two vocals weren't tight enough, so I tried to make them a bit tighter this time. Let me know what you think! "Day of...

Armistice, Thanks that was a very helpful critique. One question on the reverb. I got this comment also on a previous track I did, but I am using ANWIDA VST in Audacity which has pre-programmed reverb. In this track I am using the default option and in a previous one I was using "Small bright...

Hey all! I was wondering if you could give me a critique on this one I just laid down. I had three guitar tracks in it. Not sure if I did right by putting both the rhythms on the center. I put the lead slightly to the right. I know I probably should have raised the volume on the lead I think...

Well I have to imagine when you buy the program you get full rights to the loops, but I care less about the commercial aspects. As art, does it count as music to make something like that? Is it considered "my" work?

Thanks a lot guys. You know, I think what I enjoy most about making music, is the writing and singing part rather than the guitar as I'm just not that great on any instrument and the sound of my instruments will always be better by someone else. Is there a site on the internet where you can...

So I just got this program Mixcraft which allows you to mix loops etc... I created the below - which I think sounds pretty cool - but I don't think I really made the music. As I didn't play any instrument or anything... Would anyone consider that this is my song...

Thanks Ido - looks like drums are out for this track then... Unless I rerecord. Probably best to record with a click track anyways to make sure timing is on all the time. Chili - Yeah, I didn't record the guitar and vocals separately. I originally attempted it this way (see previous threads I...

I would love to add percussion to the mix but I suck at it. Any tips? On the youtube one near the end I added a drum loop but sounds out of place. On the mp3 I removed it. I've tried used mixcraft 5 to create a drum beat, but still having a hard time. Anyone want to add one for me ... ;)

I'm still a beginner to this and have posted some stuff in the past of which I got a lot of good advice. Below is my latest song: "Writing Songs" (I made a link to the youtube video and one to the just mp3) LOUDER: "Writing Songs" Video - Original Song - YouTube...

Any opinions? YouTube - ‪Simple Twist v2‬‏

I appreciate the honest feedback. Actually after listening to it a few more times I think there was something going on with my electric guitar. I decided to do an acoustic one instead. Please let me know your comments on this newer one and ignore the above clip. Thanks! It's in the post below.

Hey Y'all! It has been away since I last posted. I've still been playing around with stuff and learning things. Let me know what you think of my latest clip. Thanks in advance! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18434241/Simple%20Twist%20of%20Fate.mp3 Oneguy

I like a lot!

No I recorded the guitar and vocals separately. So I can play with it. Did you have a chance to check out the second song? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18434241/Magic.mp3

LOL! Greg - You are a tough critic - but I appreciate anyone taking a chance to listen :) Maybe I'll give punk a try next.... I just listened to some of your tracks. I really did not expect you to be a hard rock guy. You know, based on your picture...

Thanks KC. Nice to hear from you again. For the guitar, you mean when picking to pick more of the B and E string? Or do you mean something in the mixing process? What do you mean by "cuts in the lower mids"? The problem I'm facing with the Harmonica currently is that I can only use it for...

Greg - I thought the double tracking was cool sounding. This is without the double tracking... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18434241/Magic_v4.mp3 I thought the double was much cooler though.
