Alrighty well I just got into the digital recording world:P this piece here I recorded with a web cam hehe, also I use audacity and fruity loops, I know its not great just wanted to see what people thought of it coming from a web cam mic.

Thats pretty cool man, although it sounds like you recorded it with a webcam mic....:laughings:

I like the lo-fi guitar with the crisper sounding beat. Cool changes and rhythmic variations too.

Get some gear!
 
I remember when we use to just press record on the boom box back in the day. This is slightly better sounding although the fruity loops does sound as fake and shitty as you can get. Good job :D
 
haha thanks guys, I have ordered an interface and a condenser mic, cant wait till they get here:) and what would you recommend I do with the drums? I intend to use drum machines because I have no drumer, or drums :|
 
If your plan is to use programmed drums for rock music or anything that doesn't really lend itself to electronic sounds like this, you should consider:

TOTALLY worth the investment. The included samples are good, and you can import your own as well.
 
alrightt thankss, im not really going for rock though, Im discovering my owe sound hoppefully:P
 
I actually thought it was great, and I'm not being sarcastic, either. This to me is a competent mix, plain and simple - you took what you had and put it together in a way that totally works. Now maybe that says more about my skills s a listner/recording amateur than about your song, but if you hadn't mentioned that you recorded the guitar with a webcam, I don't think I would've even noticed it, it just gels so well with the backing track ... which is nothing but drums and the noise. In fact, I think the noise worked very much in your favour (now that's a first), because if filled a lot of frequency gaps that you would've had otherwise. The only thing that distracts from it is the distortion occurring every once in a while, but I suspect it wouldn't come through that badly on loudspeakers (I'm using headphones ATM).

I think you also did well in terms of the arrangement - it finishes just when it's on the verge of getting boring, and it totally begs for another listen. I mean I realise I may sound spectacularly overenthusiastic but the whole thing with its mood (the single most important component of any song AFAIC) just *works* for me.

I remember trying that program out :laughings:

It sounded like an old Casio keyboard from walmart. I think Fruity Loops can compete with that program very easily. You can load better sounding drums samples in Fruity loops as well and do a TON of other stuff...
 
Thanks alot:) I cant wait to get a real mic and interface!!!!
