Hey, I'm sorry if this gets asked a lot around here, but I was just wondering if a few of you experts that hang around could give this song a listen. I've recorded a good bit of stuff before, including stuff that's not on my page, but I just finished (or think I finished) a song that I've really tried to pay attention to as far as sound, eq, volume, et cetera.
FX: So far, all I did was give the vocals some slight compression (manual editing as well as plug-in) and reverb. I gave the bass a little more compression, and turned up the highs about 3 dB on the drums cuz the cymbals were warbling a little like they were competing with the rest of the tracks.
It must've been tough for mp3 to encode, cuz I asked it to do 160 kbps VBR, and it spit back a 190 kbps song. My average RMS is -14.6 dB if you measure it with square waves and -11.6 dB if you measure it with sine waves.
Anyways, I guess I'm just asking if I'm missing something or if something sounds off or what I could do to get it to sound *nice*, and don't tell me "get a drummer" please! Although I'd like one...

Song is at the top ("A New Can't"). I think only 2 people can download at a time, so if you get errors, it's probably that. Of course, you're free to browse the other stuff too
Thanks!
