looking for reviews and advice
www.mp3.com/erich
i recorded an album over a period of about two years called "much - by erich arndt". i did all the instruments (if you consider a drum machine to be an instrument) and vocals (except one song, for which i brought in another vocalist) and i wrote almost every note, every word, and every beat myself, with a few minor exceptions here and there.
much of the album was recorded when i knew almost nothing about what i was doing, and i was much more shy as a vocalist than i am now, so now i am planning on starting over from scratch with a brand new area set up for recording and with three years more of knowledge and re-recording everything, plus five or six more songs that i've written since then and five or six more that were already written but never got recorded and added to the first disc.
the above web-address is where several of these "first-attempt" versions of the songs can be found and i was hoping to get some people to give me some reviews on the production and maybe a few tips on things i could do to improve upon the songs as far as production and performance go.
in another area of the forum it had been suggested that i have the songs mastered and that would solve the majority of my problems, but i don't have the money to have it done professionally so, like everything else, i will be doing this myself and i could use some advice on that also.
i do all my recording straight to my PC and i work with cool edit pro with numerous plugins including waves native power pack 1 and 2, waves gold bundle, waves masters bundle, drumagog, and antares auto-tune... i also have access to wavelab, soundforge, acid, fruity loops.. and really as far as software goes... anything i could possibly need.
as much input as possible would be appreciated (positive and negative are both welcome)
tell me what you think, and what i need to do to make it better.
i'm positive that the material that i have deserves the best.

It bugs some people, although I have to admit, I'm not one of them. Hehehe...you just listed about $3,500 worth of software...LOL...but it was the "AND ANYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY NEED" part that's the dead giveaway. (again, don't take me too seriously).
