Hey, I recorded this a little while ago, thought i'd post it up here to hopefully get a few comment/suggestions...Here's some info about it (also posted to alt.music.4-track, but I didn't get any replies) :)

The song's called "anything" and it's by a really talented singer/songwriter from around here that one of my friends hooked me up with, he wanted a demo of some of his stuff, so we sat down and recorded 7 songs in an extremely long day :-) Every track was 1 take only, so there's some minor playing errors, pops (i forgot to take my pop filter with me) :), etc..

The vocals and guitars were done with my Rode NT-1, through some cheapo yamaha mixer that the college here has (my friend works at the college and insisted on using some of their gear...go figure)...For the guitars, the mic was about 2 feet away from him, at about eye level, pointed towards the 12th fret. For the vocals, he was about 12" away, with the mic slightly above his mouth, pointed down at about 45 degrees, trying to avoid as many pops as we could..The room was a huge room @ the college that they use for performances and stuff, it actually sounded pretty decent..

It's a pretty basic track, 2 guitars, lead vocals, and some harmonies...I compressed the vocals a little with the waves compressor, and added a little reverb w/ one of cool edit's reverb plugins..

Any comments/critisisms are more than welcome :-)

Thanks!

Good singer. Good pitch perception. Like the guitars too. With the way the guitars are played, it's got to have Bass and Drums. My perception anyway. It sounds like he's aiming for the downbeat, but nothing there to accent it. Does he normally play with a band or solo?

Good stuff!
 
Thanks! Yeah, he normally has a band, I had a chance to see them play some of the songs we recorded a few weeks ago, and it really adds a lot to the sound...I'm hoping to drag them all in here once I finish my near future gear purchases :)

Nice light tune if you like the mooshy stuff.....
The sound's perfect, just as good or better than most albums these days. Little separation on the two guitars.

Can't....write... anymore....eyes....full...of...tears.
