    New Song - should I change it?

    Hello, This is a song I wrote and recorded this weekend. It's just me and the guitar right now. Very lyrically and musically simple. At first I envisioned a second guitar coming at the end of the first verse and then build from there until the end where it's just me and the guitar again. Give...

    Rate my cover - He Was a Friend of Mine

    Good Evening, I just recorded this version of "He Was a Friend of Mine" (traditional) in a variation of the Bob Dylan/Dave Van Ronk version of the song. There's really no production, just a once-through singing and playing and I didn't even finger pick or anything. I was trying something...

    Critique my new song "It shouldn't be long, honey"!!

    Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I've finished an original song, but this is the latest. I'm looking for critiques on everything but the production, I need to figure out how to control the levels as they peak much too often and get distorted. Anyway, you can find "It shouldn't be long...

    How are these vocals?

    Hi, I wanted to see if I could get some input on my singing. I don't have the time for lessons and I'm kind of just trying to find my voice by trying over and over again. Anyway, please use the link below and listen to my rendition of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" by Bob Dylan. I wasn't...

    The Dylan Cover Thread!

    In the spirit of the "I'm Not There" (for those who don't know, a Dylan movie that's being filmed) soundtrack coming out on Tuesday, I figured I'd start a cover thread for Bob's tunes. I was listening to the soundtrack and wanted to record something so I did a nice quick version of "Girl From...

    Please critique my singing

    I've recorded a very basic acoustic rendition of Wild Horses by the Stones. It's just me and my guitar and I'm really only looknig for a critique of the singing. (the guitar isn't great and neither is the recording) I know I can't really sing but I'd like some opinions on whether or not you...

    "I Hope She Knows" - Please critique

    This is a tune I wrote the lyrics for and couldn't get the guitar down until it finally just happened. This was recorded at the very end of a long session of experimentation so it's about the 3rd take at this version of the song and a rough draft at this point. It was done with one mic in one...

    New song, haven't posted in a while

    I haven't been on here for quite a while or recorded for quite a while but I'd like some feedbacko on this tune. This was recorded in one take with one mic, kind of a rough draft. Whatever feedback I could get would be great. The song is called "I Hope She Knows" you can find it here...

    Will this work? (picture attached)

    Ok, so I'm using a Boss Br-864 to record because I have little money and my computer sucks. It's only got one mic input that's not powered. I'd like two powered inputs so I can use two mics at once. I'm thinking of getting the DMP3, and I'm just wondering if this setup would be ok. Also, do you...

    Feedback, if you'd be so kind

    This is a tune I wrote a month or two ago I guess but it's gone through changes. Comments on the mix or the song would be awesome. Recorded on a Boss br-864 with an sm58 for everything (my only mic). It's called "Not The Last" http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=431654 Thanks...

    Phantom Power Question

    I record using a Boss br-864 standalone recorder. There's only one mic input and it's not powered. I'm new/poor/blah blah so I'm getting a Studio Projects B1 as a condenser. (I have an SM58, but I'd like a condensor for acoustic guitar) I was looking at this to power the mic...

    Please critique my mix

    This is a song I posted a few weeks ago but it's much different now. It's only one verse so I'd like comments on the mix. Ignore the abrupt beginning and ending, I'm trying to get everything to fit together before I record the entire thing. Click "Not The Last (not finished)"...

    Not The Last(rough mix)

    Looking for feedback- "Not The Last" (rough mix) Ok, so I've been having monitor headphone problems lately and have to wait until christmas to get new ones (can't use speakers because the neighbors bitch) Anyway, since I had no way of overdubbing I had to just do this in one shot with an SM58...

    What becomes of it all?

    Ok, I wrote this in one shot so it's not necessarily done yet. Chalk it up as a protest song I suppose. It's about war. I've got music for it and hope to have it recorded in a week or two. Tell me what you think of the lyrics, thanks. What becomes of it all? I see we’ve won another battle...

    Is this too cluttered?

    This is a song I'm working on right now. It's all acoustic and a new guitar comes in every so many bars, I think 6 in all. I'm not necessarily looking for a critique on the mixing, I know it could be mixed much better. I was just wondering if anyone thinks it sounds cluttered. At the end of the...

    Drum Software?

    I ran a search on here but didn't come up with much. My question is what drum software is the best? I'm very new to the recording process (literally a few weeks) and I don't have any buds that play drums. The only equipment I have right now is a Boss br-864 recorder, one sm58 mic, and of course...

    First song-critique

    Hi everyone, this is my first song. I used a Boss br-864 digital 8 track to record this. Don't really know anything about recording or mixing, just starting out doing stuff in my bedroom right now. Any critiques or pointers or whatever you've got about the recording or the song/lyrics would be...
