I cant vouch for all 5 mics recommended here:http://homerecording.about.com/od/microphones101/ss/fivegreatmics.htm but I know from personal experience that the Rode NT1 is excellent for its price range and the Shure Beta 52A is great for low end stuff. The Rode NT2 is good too IMO.

Enter for Ireland! It's a song contest over here (how weird is that!) so anyone can enter. Anyone, that is, with "...valid visas as shall allow that person to travel to and attend (and in the case of the performer perform at) the Eurosong 2010 in Ireland and, if selected as the winning entry of...

I think if you centered the bass it would sit better. Dont use a synth! Theres a part near the end where the instruments stop - or they sort of stop. Because you aren't sure what you are doing there it comes out sounding like a mistake. Theres no point in using an instrument if you are going to...

Correct. You search an artist and up pops a list of every song they've ever recorded (even the obscure compilation album tracks), every album, a biog, similar artists, etc. You can then build, save and share playlists. Pretty cool.

Great to finally hear what you can do! It would have been so disappointing if it was bad and thankfully it's not...its really good in my opinion. Understated, subtle, great vocalist (reminds me of Aimee Mann), but you don't want to hear compliments so... My first impression was that the crash...

I did a search here and was amazed to find only one reference to Spotify. I think it could be the biggest thing to hit music since iTunes. Anyone using this?

Its easy... http://tinyurl.com/ygurkfq

I have found that if you ring radio stations and ask them can you come on for an interview and/or a live song you can often get on. I've been on 3 or 4 stations including a national station, just by ringing up.

Without having read the other comments mine were: "push up the vocals" and "not sure about those toms on the verses" so I think you have a fairly consistent reply in terms of nits. Otherwise its pretty impressive given how young she is.

Listening on cans and the guitars sound distractingly loud. OK - turned down now, and the lyrics are beginning to register and the song is pretty good. It seems like, unless you turn it down, the whole thing is too loud to hear the song and the guitars seem too high in the mix.

This is really good! It's like an angry Beck through a distortion pedal... I like it. Don't change a thing!

The vox are only a problem on the first verse - there is too much short reverb IMO. More subtle longer rev would be better I think - after that they are fine. Good song, arrangement and mix. Enjoyed listening.

And well you might! Great tune!

Hopefully mastering will help that...?

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

Have to agree - you can't beat the real thing!

Wow! Great to get positive feedback, thanks all - "Wierd. Cool" is good!

Wouldn't work for me...

I'm not sure I'd be shoving the pen in your face quite yet! Don't get me wrong, this is very well put together, well performed and very radio friendly and I can easily hear it on the soundtrack of "Brothers and Sisters" and the like, but, for such a radio friendly sound I think the songs are...

Great idea Jeff. I'll see your Al Stewart and raise you Bowie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT__JxncHEs
