edit: Listening again, vocals on the verse are good. Maybe scream the chorus a little more and with a little more passion. You're doing good overall. My post is not meant to be discouraging at all, but encouraging even if it may sound negative. Keep rocking! DigitalSmigital said:inspired by the poem/poster that I see so often.
The purpose of the change in the vox escaped me; I'm glad it did change though, I might not have been able to hang for the full song...
How did you record those overtones heard in between the power guitar chords? and...real drums?

Guitars are recorded really nicely. I like the tone. I didn't hear any extra noise.
Vocals are not fitting in quite well, I'd say. The voice is good but the yelling is not enough, maybe. I would definitely recommend re-tracking the vocals like there's no one else around and you can yell at the top of your lungs.
Kick on the drums wasn't very visible.
Towards the end the cymbals/hats are being hit a really fast pace. Sounds a little unnatural.
Bass and guitars can stand to be made more heavy.
I listen to quite a bit of contemporary Christian music and I'd push for as many heavy bands as possible.
I'm a guitar player and I'm constantly trying to make the guitar the main instrument on any given song. But what I've found more and more by listening to so many great bands and song is that each instrument is there to play a contributing role in getting the main feel/sound of the song. So I've learnt to turn the guitars way down. Especially if you do anything 80s style or current rock 'n roll, pop rock, acoustic, the gutiars are way down. Actually, I think only on the contemporary metals genres the guitars have gone way loud. But even in case of loud, there's places where the guitars take a secondary role and either only play minimal chords in the back or are turned way down.whattaguy said:
