Hey guys, I posted this on the sound forum and someone said if i post it here it would be better so i did.

this is a new song i made and my friend sings it.

It's a slow song. Let me know what you guys think of the song and what other modification i need to make.

The song is the second one called "In Front Of Your Eyes"

Listening now. Stream of consciousness...Guitar is slightly out of tune. It's also too boomy, needs some EQ cuts in the lower mids. Also could do with a gentler touch on those downstroke chords, they're jumping out. Voice is laboured and indistinct, needs more space, everything is in the same frequency range, lower mids are overcrowded. Singer needs a LOT more confidence and to hit the notes more cleanly - there is a very worthwhile voice there, could contribute to an atmospheric song. The drummer apparently has no idea how to play to a slow song like this, it's like a slowed down rock part, there are hardly any accents or spaces, his playing doesn't fit with the rest of the song.

Definite potential though, there's something nice buried in there if you can just clean the whole thing up.
 
Sorry about the voice man.

My friend live in VA while I'm doing the song in MI
 
Don't be sorry - we're all learning ;). This is why we post stuff here.

He sounds like a beginning singer, nothing wrong with that. Needs to open his mouth wider and get the words out more cleanly. He can do that without changing the sound of his voice. Also tell him not to gulp big breaths on the mic - he should breath in more slowly, and back off the mic while he's doing it.
 
Guitar...

does sound out of tune a bit..maybe it's the tremolo - chorus thing.

It sounds like the singer could definitely use a few lessons on technique and just get warmed up a little.


You have some nice things going on guitar wise. Nice little counter melody ideas. a couple of bends seem to go a bit sharp here and there but defintely Good stuff to build on.

keep it up.
 
I remembered i tuned up my guitar before recording this song

Maybe my PODxt tunner is messed up? :(

Oh and btw I didnt use any bends in this song

And your ears? Surely you tune a guitar by how it sounds, not by a flashing light on a box.

Your guitar's intonation might be out, maybe as shookie said it's the chorus. But just listen to it again, see if you can hear what we did.
 
I heard "Right In Front Of Your Eyes"

I wanted to hear more UUUMMMFF when it kicked in at >57. Need a bit more ass.

Not bad overall though..

It needs re-recording. Our singer will listen to three or four takes of a song and spot areas that need improvement, before doing a recording I expect to use. Can you get him to listen and do it again?

Best wishes

Needs some panning of the instruments. Guitar tones walking on each other.
Might not be as bad if panned. Buzzing frets kinda distracting. Maybe raise
the action a bit. Clean strumming kinda makes it stick out. Acoustic guitar
would prolly work better for the stumming. Buzzing frets on solo too.
I think the tune will sound ok with some work.
