Hey guys,

This is my first post so I decided to start with my latest recording. It's an old song I wrote for my wife before we got married about 7 years ago. Back then, I was using a Tascam 4 track cassette recorder and a Yamaha acoustic guitar with a cable input jack plus a Korg keyboard for drums and bass.

Now, I'm using a Zoom MRS8 multitrack recorder for guitars (Gibson LP, Ibanez SZ) and a Peavey Bass. For drums, I use EZ Drummer and mix it all in FL Studio 9. I'm having a heck of a time with my guitar tone, I want it to be much much warmer than it's coming out but I guess that's the main drawback of a portable multitrack that's already pretty much outdated at this point.

I'm still trying to figure out the rudiments of all-Pc recording since I have a Cakewalk UA1G interface but it works with Sonar - which I haven't figured out yet.

Anyway, I'm definitely more than happy to hear your criticisms and kindly be specific if you can so that I can work out the bugs easier.

By the way, I'm no "expert" recording artist or player by any stretch of the imagination. I just like to play and listen to my own songs.

The file says everythingmellowdrums haha! That's because earlier versions had a kind of more "metal" sound which my friend said didn't really fit the vibe of the song so I changed it to something more mellow.

Many thanks in advance!

It's OK. I had to really turn it up to hear it at a normal level. Then it sounded OK. but then the guitar soloing starts and doesn't end until the song is over. I was thinking it was going to be a nice song with lyrics because you wrote it for your wife and figured you had something special to say about it :P

Maybe put a little delay on the solo to give it more of an epic sound :D
 
Hi FoulPhil,

Thanks for the tip! Volume is easy enough to work on so I'll start with that. For guitar effects and tone, I'll do it later. Still have to figure out how to get my interface working with fl studio or maybe record in sonar then put it into fl.

I dont know how to sing so its all instrumental for me lol

Thanks for listening!
 
Fixed the volume and modified the EQ a bit.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for listening!
