Acoustic Recording.

I think you did a nice job, man... The weakest part is the vocal, but it's recorded well. Personally, I'd take a touch of the low mids out of the guitar (somewhere in the 200-400Hz range), but since it's not really fighting with anything else, it's not a problem.
 
Thanks a lot for the comments Chris. What exactly do you mean by the vocals being the weakest link? Do you mean the vocals themselves? or the production of them? Oh, and thanks for the low mids comment, I did do that just now, and this is the only song on the demo that is solo acoustic, so they would probably be fighting when the rest of it gets in with it. Thanks again for the listen and comments. :)

no, they were just a bit pitchy...He still sings better than my bass player (who I pray to God doesn't see this post, lol).
 
Yeah, the singing is a bit pitchy.... Try to relax and sing it more naturally, it'll sound better. Maybe change the key to something a little more vocal friendly. Click on Chris' link and listen to some of what he has done. His songs are good examples of knowing your voice and tayloring your music to it.
Good job with the guitars, by the way. Nice tone.
 
This is not me, this is a demo I am recording for a friend.
 
I think the acoustic guit sounded a ok.

That vocalist however....

He has this bOomy thing happening in the 200HZ to 400HZ area.

Roll soma that out, and stick a nice light plate verb on him.

Oh and the doubles you did on the vocal like on the words "with yoooouuu"

It got waaay too loud.

Bus those vocals into an aux and compress them there with like a 6 to1. 200ms attack and a 40ms release.

Merry christmas.
