1st Studio Recording!

Unread post by AdamCU81 » Tue Sep 28, 2004 6:02 pm

Well, after several months of tweaking, I have a song I'm willing to post here for critique. This recording seems to be in a constant state of improvement, so any suggestions will be taken seriously. I want this to be demo quality when it's done. Anyways, here's the link:

I dunno if anybody else thinks it but his voice kinda reminds me of the singer for Barenaked Ladies.

The chorus kind of reminds me of 3eB. Hmm... I just think the lyrics could use some work.

Interesting mixed comments. Concerning the foundation of the song.....we already recorded this song in our "once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity," so it's doubtful that the basics will change much, but comments about intrument levels, dynamics, and effects will be of help. We're kind of in the mixing process now, although we can still record additional tracks without the studio (which may add background noise). ...just so you understand the situation. Thanks for the comments....whatever they may be....my own thoughts seem to be biased. Thanks again.

You have got a really good voice, but something just doesn't sound right. I don't know if the music clashes well with the lyrics/singing. I think the song needs a different vibe, but then again what do I know. Good luck.

I like it... I think the band could tighten up a bit though.
