Added another update to it a few days ago, for those interested. I'll get this right eventually!

So, I played around with it a little bit and took out some of the reverb from both the guitars and vocals and made the song a bit drier. Brought out the vocals more, as well as the bass drum, and I think it sounds better. Not perfect, but I think an improvement...

Thanks, guys, for the compliments and feedback. I'm very happy to hear that you all like the song! Your feedback is very constructive and helpful and all of your words are much appreciated. I think one of the reasons I've had a bit of difficulty getting the sound I want is because all the...

Jeff, thank you very much for your feedback. It's much appreciated. You make some very helpful and insightful comments on the mixing and, to be honest, while a lot of it is definitely inexperience, it was also probably "just trying to get it done" too and, sometimes, I can have that tendency...

Here is a song I wrote about a month ago, entitled "Piper Of Your Dreams." Everything you hear is me, from the composition to the recording and the production. Nonetheless, it's just merely a demo, so I know a lot of things aren't top notch (it was all written and recorded within a couple of...

Here's a cover of the underrated Beach Boys' classic from "Pet Sounds." Everything you hear, from vocals to instruments, is me plus an a cappella version of the song afterwards. Link 1: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=910733&songID=7768519 And in case that one...

Definitely. I think it was originally written around 1969-1970, but wasn't put out until 1971's "Surf's Up" album.

Thanks, everyone!

Thanks, Greg. If you don't mind me asking, which parts were off, so I could go back, if I wanted to? I had been thinking of redoing the falsetto on the some of the verses, as I felt it sounded way too Mickey Mouse, which is generally a little different than I normally sound.

Really? Thanks. I'll have to check out Of Montreal, as I haven't heard them.

Thanks! It's definitely an obscure one, but it was really fun doing.

So, I'm a huge Beach Boys fan and was listening to the more obscure stuff lately, namely their "Surf's Up" album and rediscovered one of my very favorite songs of theirs, a tune called "'Til I Die." It's a very somber tune, but one of my very favorites and so I wanted to tackle it. Everything...

Hi Jen, Was just able to see this, right now. Thanks for the positive review! And it is interesting how you mention the lyrics. Based on these reviews, maybe I won't have to worry about them nearly as much as I thought. Thanks again! Much appreciated!

Thanks, greyharmonix! I appreciate that. Although I had to laugh when you commented on how Beatlesque it is, because I get that a lot and, ironically, the entire purpose of that song was to NOT sound like them! :D But I appreciate it, nonetheless, and you're right about the guitar lacking...

After writing what I felt were rather slow and dull songs, I decided to take the risk and try writing a rock song. Nothing hard rock, but more pop/rock, I supopse. I never really branched into rock in general because I never felt I could do it, so this is really nothing more than an attempt to...

Did this cover for a friend who loves the song. With their birthday being tomorrow, I was sort of rushed, but did it, anyways. Any feedback (good or bad) is appreciated. All voices and instruments are me. Enjoy! http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=90293

Hello everyone, Since 2006, I have been using Logic Pro 7 to record. My goals have always been to write, record, and produce an entire album by myself (mostly pop/rock). Originally, the goal was to do this through virtual instruments (in particular, ESX24 and the other one's through Logic)...

Thank you very much, propman! Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. If you listen to disc 2 of the "Good Vibrations" box set, you'll find this demo version and that was the one I was attempting to cover. However, after I finished doing this, I do have the thought to turn this into a...

Sorry about that! Copied the wrong link. Try now!

O.K., on a very sudden and instant temptation, I decided to record a version of this classic Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks song. It was originally from the "SMiLE" sessions, and it is the demo from those sessions from 1966 (featured in the "Good Vibrations" box set) that I'm covering, as I prefer...
