Ok, this is my first song for review. Let me start by explaining a couple things. One, I'm buzzed as hell but it's really the only way I can get the nerve to post a song, so forgive any typos. Two, I'm a guitarist that is ok at bass and drums. Three, I suck at vocals. I have a deep voice and I'm one of those people that refuses to acknowledge that I need to sing in lower octaves, so I spend a lot of time trying to sing out of my range. And four, I just had braces put on AND had four extractions, so if being a bad singer isn't enough of an excuse to suck at a solo project, this surely intensifies things.
That said, I'd like some help. I have recorded once or twice, but it was really half ass. This is my first decent attempt. I have pinpointed several areas where I'm WAY off key so I plan to update my vocals a little. However, I'd love some input on EQ, levels, compression, things to make my mix louder, etc. Also, I'm off key a lot and I'd be thrilled if there was any programs ya'll recommend to do a subtle pitch correction throughout my song.
Finally, this is my own rendition of a song by The Smiths, so I don't take credit. I figured what better way to learn recording than doing a cover? So with all that explained, please review my song, tear me and my techniques apart... I want to get better at this... thank you!!!
