.......then you might be disappointed with this :)

Got the sound card, got the guitar calluses, got the pissed off neighbours, got a BIG headache trying to work out how to use it all.

Crap!!!!!!!!!!

My firewall hates the word "angelfire" in any URL, for somereason it thinks I'm going to a porn site and I get the dreaded "your attempt to access a non-authorized site" has been logged by the internet police" blah blah...

Guess I'll try the other site later.
 
I get this messag.....
Angelfire does not allow direct linking
from offsite, non-Angelfire pages,
to files hosted on Angelfire.
This practice of 'remote linking' reduces
our ability to serve out the homepages
of our members quickly and efficiently.
 
This TUNE is different

If that's you singing, you have an incredible voice. If that's not you singing, you have the ability to obtain incredible vocalists to sing for you.

I take it the "noise" in the first minute is intentional. You might bring up the floor, I had my speakers at like, 80%, and then I almost crapped myself when it kicked in.

Personally, I'd cut back on the vocal verb a lot. That voice is so clean and pure, I wouldn't bury it. As far as the song, it's a tad esoteric for my hillbilly head.

This is not something you hear every day...and I appreciate it.

This one was a little weird for me. Some things I liked a LOT and some things I didn't like a lot.

Things I liked... A real nice, strong, ambient singing voice. Beautiful, sad melody to the song. Nice string arrangement. Sounded real pretty. I liked the return to lofi for the last few seconds, although I suspect some people arent going to think so.

Things I didn't like... Pretty heavy lyrics. I've heard enough songs like this (lyrically) to last a couple of lifetimes. Just my preference. I thought the lo-fi thing at the begining was fine. I thought you stayed there too long - over a minute. A short intro would suffice. Vocally, it sounded like you had some trouble with the low notes (e.g., at 4:15). Sounded like you forgot some words at the end. It sounded like a stutter at about 5:00 and you had a "why when or why" instead of "where when or why" at 5:05. Was your throat getting tired?

I think you have a real pretty (in a sad way) song. But I think you need to find a lyrical center that's a little different from what you have. Then I think the song would a very strong one.

Try not to get mad at me.
 
i liked the lo-fi and esp. the static record sounding stuff...how'd you get that?
 
Thanks for listening!

To all those who continue to astound me as to how awesome this site is, thank you very much for the use of your ears!

Yes, this is me singing and playing the gtr. Using an ADK a-51s condenser mic which I just got recently, (I know very little about mics but this thing just sounds SO much better than my old Shure Prologue :) )

TripleM - return to lo-fi was my wife's idea - she wanted another cycle through the last riff on gtr, bass and cello with no singing which was to return to lo-fi. I couldn't be bothered re-recording the guitar, (lazy me!), so just crossfaded it onto the last chorus. Do you think it would be a little less "in your face" if I followed her original plan?

re- lyrics, yeah I know..... maybe even agree :)

It's funny - recording this, I was stressing about the high notes and always pictured the low notes "in the bag" Maybe not ;)

And yes - I totally stuffed the lyrics a couple of times, and you picked it perfectly! Good ears!

I will try and incorporate your suggestions and get back to you.

Shackrock - It's a free, yes - free, directX plug-in called Izotope Vinyl - the makers of the Ozone mastering thing-ummy-jig. D/L it from here -

Thanks again for your help, I'll be back soon with v2.0

Ciao,

Very theatric piece. I was wanting some kettle drums on the chorus and some backup vox and basically a more all out production. Lots of room.

Your vocal chain yields great results!! Singing is pretty damn good to!:)
I like the string patch but, I'm easily impressed with the things I don't have;)

Glad I listened,

Good luck with v2

"...open your pages, commence your story..."
I like the impressionistic lyric, melds well with the melody.
I know some don't like comparisons, but I couldn't help but come away with the feeling that I'd just listened to a lost Harry Chapin song...probably because of your vocal characteristics and the subject matter.
An intelligent, disturbing piece.

Very heavy. I've written songs like this, that are more personal and aren't intended for airplay (per say) - just a vehicle for self-expression. And for that, I respect the piece for what it is... I dig the retro/vinyl intro and outro. Nice nylon string guitar sound. Cello sounds full and rich... The vocal is recorded very well; that mic fits your voice like a glove! It helps to have such a nice voice, and the vocal fits the song well... Nice sounds! :)
 
Listened again in a quieter environment. Yeah, the song's heavy, but I think the overall message is a positive one (hope, sustainance...blah blah blah, you know what your song's about).

:D

Besides, I get the impression that you didn't write it with the intention of having a top 40 hit.

Me Likes Okay,

Angelfire killed the link!

Cat Eggs seems to have found the soulution,just zip the file then post it,they allow that,but everyone will have to download it.

Or just use Nowhere-

Best to you,

Very interesting piece. Excellent vocal sound; what kind of mic are you using?
 
I dig the lo fi intro but it went a little long (almost 1 minute) before it got real, IMHO. I LOVE the cellos with the acoustic guitar.
I like it Sir.:cool:
 
Ok...lets see.....I like the lo-fi beginning.......wow....good vocals, if a little melodramatic :p . The guitar kind of disappears when the song gets busy. I liike the cellos but they too sort of disappear in the mix.. Your voice is great but the instruments aren't mixed as well. I often can't distinguish the different parts very well. You probably should EQ them differently so they all get their own place in the freq spectrum. That would let them be heard. Nice stuff.
