First decent recording

[globex]

Finally figured out a little how to use the hardware. Haven't set up my condensor mic though so guitar is a little dry and muddy, but that'll get better with future recordings.

Mostly recorded this for a friend and to practice singing. Let me know what I can do to improve recording quality, eq-wise or what not.

Thanks.

This is a cool tune, at first I didnt like that effect on the voice but by the end it sort of grew on me. A song about a kitten sounds pretty weak, but I think you did a good job with it. Thanks for posting...

btw what effect did you use on the vocal?

[globex]

Thanks. Just a regular delay.

how do you hook your vocals up to delay? i have a condensor and a preamp that i run into a recorder. should i go mic to preamp to delay to recorder?

ps. brb w/ what i thought of the song.

i would definetly be a lot more conservative w/ the delay. it makes for good effects on screams and words w/ fast syllables like that one "together" that you had. otherwise, i wouldn't use it so much.

quality recording was good. pretty clean, maybe a little reverb or something to spice up the guitar.

Thanks appfro.

I just recorded mic direct to computer through the soundboard then I just put a delay effect on my entire vocals track AFTER I have recorded it. Then I went back and moved it around to make sure that when it delayed it harmonized with the next note. It was pretty hard, but thats why the song's only 3 chords so that I could play around with the vocals.

But I cheated a little bit and when over it with some a second track of quiet vocals to make sure everything mixed well. It would have helped to sing a little more in tune in some spots.
