Second recording *Stain*

[AustinG]

Sweet, Going to listen right now...


Right away the guitars sound better, more alive.... Vocals sound more upfront as well.... maybe even try to add some dynamics with compression..

I like how you used that reverb towrds the end.... and think it belongs in the beginning and maybe throughout at different levels...I think if you're going to keep the song over 5 min, you gotta sugar it up with some sneaky mixxin.

yep, dig the yell, maybe one more for good measure at the end..

Overall a great improvement! Good job with using the con crit to your advantage.

sorry i missed this earlier

im glad you put up the lyrics, otherwise i wouldnt know some of the lines you sang. But i enjoy the "feel" that the song gives through the vocal melody. The guitar is simple but clean. I sort of dazed off until you did a little yell at 4:10ish. The song is a tad long for how subdued it is. Maybe bring something else in along the way to keep it interesting. I know how hard it is to keep someones attention with just an acoutic and your voice. But overall it was a good job.

oooo Like the vocals before the lick playing. A nice loud note puts the lead part on a platform. Good job. Found this one more interesting. big improvement .

thanks. i tried to use some of the suggestions here to fix it up, i'm glad you liked it. what about the recording quality, better? i used the same equipment, but i put the mic in another place and i double mic'd the guitar and laid the vocals separate this time to try to make it sound better. i'm still trying to put as little post recording effects on my recordings as possible but i did add a lot of reverb to the scream.

anyway, thanks for the listen. i greatly appreciate it

I'll listen to the two later tonight.
