I like it. You got a real unique voice.

I like it. You got a real unique voice.

that's one way to put it

nah, good work man

[mgoedman]

i thought your voice was kinda tight...had a dylanesque quality. cool guitar part too.

[something cool]

Nice stuff man. I wish I had your voice. Anyway, if your looking for critique, I would suggest going to that low A a lot earlier, like a couple measures after the first verse. Just from a listeners point of view. If you weren't looking for structural critique, you can tell me to piss off, I understand.

[onid41]

yea you have a good voice man, and nice job!

[katie]

[GreyBlueAnt]

[MWR]

I'm always impressed.

I like it. You got a real unique voice.

hes right, but its unique in a good way, did u play and sing simultaneously or did you overlay it?

[juineaux]

I sang and played guitar at the same time, which is really the only way I can do it. I guess you get alot better recording when you do them separately, but I kinda like that more natural sound of just a voice and guitar together.

I'm trying to go for this kinda sound:

and I think I will get close to it when we get done mixing and mastering.

it is a nice sound, just i think the guitar could be louder, i thought u did it simoultaneously, (which i am impressed by btw) if you played and sung it twice just moving the mic more towards the guitar the second time u could get a more even sound, i thought it was just a quiet clip during the intro and i cranked it, when the vocalls came in it was more than a bit loud kinda like "wonderwall" if you've heard it

[mangold]

u've already got a very similar sound to the one on the link, u just need the guitar to come through more

Not a solution, the timing will be a bitch to get right.

There are other ways;

1# Sing the song, then playback your singing through a pair of headphones and play the guitarpart. Then mix them together in a program.

2# Do like 1# but guitar first and then sing to it.

3# Get a mixer and two microphones, preferably a real pickup system for the guitar and a regular mic (dynamic and condensator are great, I can hardly hear any difference btw) and then play the song but with both mics recording so you can adjust treble bass etc, seperatly.

4# Find the frequency of the guitar and raise it, works in just about any recording/editing programs.


I suggest number 3.

I have two mics(sm57,akg414) on the guitar, One mic(AKG414) on the voice, and a room mic. I will just turn up the guitar mics-
