Hi Guys,

looking for some informed feedback / opinions on two recordings i've done.

checkout www.themeebrothers.com
or check us out on:
purevolume
last.fm
iTunes

there are quite a few things i'd still change myself, but we needed some demo recordings to get out there :) keep in mind these were recorded in a day...
 
It's clean and clear enough, but I don't know... It's pretty boring music. That's just my opinion. So, don't take it as an insult. It's not the worst I've ever heard.

After boring me to death, some drums kick in that sound like they are 10 feet away from the singer. They play for 30 seconds and then that's the last you hear from them.

Google is my advice. It doesn't sound all that bad, but I think it could be way better and enjoyable.

thanks FoulPhil, i'm more so looking for comments on the recording...
seeing as this is homerecording.com

is the song boring or is the music boring? what would you do (besides write a better song)?
 
Well it's missing some elements that would keep it more interesting. Some variation and some type of fills here and there would help a lot. Especially on the really boring parts like "She comes in waves". It doesn't seem arranged enough or thought out enough. It's not a completely "spoken word" track, It's got music going on in the background.

It's not a huge mix either man. So, you could use some guitar layering and some alternate guitar parts. You may not be able to duplicate the recorded song live like that, but I'm sure you can get pretty close to it.

It's a good song, I've listened to it about 3 or 4 times already, but it's just not something I would want to pop in when I'm having a few beers and relaxing because it's missing some stuff that would make it a really killer tune.
 
okay, yeah, i agree with you on the track "Damage". maybe listen to "Machine" it's got a different feeling to it.

i think arrangement is a big thing. i recorded damage in like 2 takes... then wrote all the others pieces in a day, was more so an experiment than the actual song :)
but you've actually encouraged me... at least i know it has potential!!!

still though, i'm looking for some nitty gritty technical advice, these were my first 2 recordings ever... i'm sure they could be a lot better
 
Finish the song and I'll give you some technical advice :laughings:
