I wrote a little song. THis song is pretty much me expressing some anger. I still need to add some leads but how is the rough draft so far? I was drunk while singing so bare with me :p
 
Drunk while playing too?.. :D

Just thought I spotted a couple of slight timing bloopers, could've been my imagination, picturing the whole band wasted.. :)

Like the simple melody by guit in the chorus, could be a tad more on top.
Is there a bass?.. I'm on a poor headset.

nice tune.




...somehow that drunken singing reminded me of Alice in chains, must be my bad. :eek:

So, what are you looking for here?
 
Well how well is everything mixed in there? Vocals too loud? I have the bass pretty loud so I don't think that needs to up more. But yea how's everything?

It's sloppy, sorry. :( The beginning has 15 seconds of blank time. :rolleyes: I assume the bass is a synth, which is why it isnt coming through? :confused:

The tune is fine, the sound quality fine. Its just not very clean and together.

Well I have those 15 seconds for a reason. I want to start with some harmonies or something. Honestly I didn't realise it was sloppy. Well when I was recording last night, I did struggle a bit but can you point out the parts cus my ears aren't wirth shit right now. :D
 
sup Hat.

You have alot of good ideas in there; the breaks are cool, and I am quite fond of the synth bass. For me the guitar could be improved on; its not sitting so well, I think it needs to be clearer. Its fine for the intro but it seems to get kinda smothered in the verse. Quite like your singing on this too, though I think the guitar distracted me a little; think ya could work out a chord riff as opposed to thrashing? Like 2.35 sounds cool but when you up the tempo at 2.55 it seems a bit cluttered.
 
So the chorus isn't smothered but the verses are? I can't really tell because I everytime I listen my ears concentrate on the vocals.

and yea I had four guits on the fast ending, I'll just take em out.

:Dthanks :D

It could be a decent tune but the guitar playing is pretty rough. There's some good riffs in there, just not executed well. When you start double/triple/quad tracking guitar parts, they HAVE to be tight with no exception. You'd be better off with 1 track then 2.
 
Yeah the timing issues as mentioned.

and the vox could do with another take as well, I think the song Idea is allright just needs a work out :)

Play it for a week or something, get the best takes, and post it again :)
 
i say god dammit! :mad:

My ears are pounding from compressing and uncompressing,eqing, and mixing and yet I am not to happy with what came out of this. I structured the song better but right now it doesn't sound great but I can't tell.

edit:And I also just noticed some static on my vocals! God dammit! I stayed up all night for this?!

What do you guys think of this fine, new mix?

i didn't record too hot. something must have had interference with it! It sounded perfectly fine till now! :( :mad:
 
reading the i used all this comp. and EQ and FX this and that post leads me to believe that if its not your vox peaking during recording then maybe it might have jumped the CPU to the limit

maybe so, i had alot of tracks and fx on this one
 
try cutting the fx off on a track or two and see how the vox sound....
 
well it seems it's on the track cus I tried it. I'm not sure why it came out crackly like that. It never peeked once.

But besides the crackle, how do the vocals sit? Are the leads mixed in well? Anything else?
