A while back we posted some covers. Tonight we finally got a little something of our own done. It's nothing special, its only 2 and a half minutes long, just a demo but something for your ear. Would appreciate any feedback, but dont be to harsh as we did not put to much time into this. Still a lot we want to change but we wanted to finally write something of our own and see what it would sound like. Thanks, peace.

Click here, its called "Irene"
 
It would benefit from a real or more realistic acoustic piano. ;)
Too much reverb on the piano for my taste. There are some rhythm problems too--piano is dragging in places.

The backup vocals sound a hair late.

That's the best I can do. Sounds pretty good otherwise.

I completely agree with you. thanks
 
This is a great tune - nicely mixed between keyboard and guitar. Vocals are well done too. I didn't have any problems with this at all. Good one!
 
I've got to agree and say that the piano is sounding a bit too fake for me. I am a piano player myself though. Vocals and guitar are very fitting. Nice one.

Ok, I'm quite a Hendrix fan so listened to Wind Cries Mary...Awesome job, but perhaps too much reverb on the lead vocal, I think it would sound even better if you cut it down a bit...Reverb on other parts fits cool - perhaps you were going for that spacey vocal sound though, but I think it is a bit overdone. Really nice guitar playing

I think the massive reverb works better on wonderful tonight, besides which the original had a hgely reverbed lead guitar, and the big reverb on the lead vocal complements it quite nicely.

Irene Demo: Good production. Was expecting an acidy bass line / drums at some point to come in fairly early on after initial intro bars; that would be cool, but then when chorus came in, tune was lifted up very nicely so previous point didn't seem to matter so much
 
thanks everyone for the feedback. I realize the reverb on the Hendrix song was a over done just didnt ever go back to fix it. We are currently lacking drums in the recording process simply because we dont have the equipment yet. Same goes with the bass but we are in the process of working on it. We are very new to all this so it is going to take some time. But thanks, and we plan on finishing the Irene song tonight. We are doing a complete new recording of the whole song and adding a few things so I will let you know when we have it complete. Thanks again.
 
the vocals seem to get a little overtaken at times. maybe try taking a bit of the lower mids out of the piano and boosting the "air" in the vox a bit.

nice tune, sounds unfinished as you have mentioned
