Umm, with that amount of info, it could be anything. Can you give some more detailed information about what you are trying to do, how exactly you are trying to do it and how exactly is the quality bad?

Thanks

I believe the problem is you're using a cheap microphone, cheap integrated soundcard/pre-amp, probably a sub-standard acoustic environment, you're mixing down to an mp3 file, and you're new at this. Give us some more info and we can provide some more specific support.

The guitar sound is decent. Good, actually. However, the vocal is overly processed and too hot (loud). The bass is too loud and distorting, also. There are some clicks and pops. You really need to turn down the levels on your recording, as I suspect you are clipping during tracking and/or at mixdown. Also, mix down to a wave file, then convert to mp3.

sound like alot of echo to the vocals and none to the guitar. are you just adding alot of reverb to the vocals? other then that. it really sounds good. vocals, guitar and everything. oh and i agree with who ever said that the vocals are too loud...turn em down a bit
