Original-"Forget"-Listen/critique

Unread post by AustinG » Fri Nov 03, 2006 6:43 pm

Here's an idea I had about a month ago.. Don't mind the improper English ;).... I should've spent more time on it... Like everything else in my life....Anyways, let me know what ya think.. I can sing it a lil stronger now so maybe I'll give it a better go...

Tracks-
1-Vocals/guitar-as always one track, to work on my timing...
2-some random backup vocals..
3-the solo guitar is one take... I just kinda played around with it.. didn't sound to bad so I left it in there..

Yeah sloppy... I know.. Vocals are getting there.. you should hear some of my old stuff.. it's come a long way just gotta get there.. That's a hard song to play and sing... Definitely not one of my better ones.. but I too like the lyrics..

I just gotta practice more and get it all together

You wanna hear the same song just guitar and vocals or a different one?

Im in agreeance with andy. The vocals need to bulken up if thats the right word to use. When you go into the low parts your voice becomes broken and timid sounding. Guitar is solid. As for the lyrics, i never really take a direct approach with my writing but it works with this song.

Thanks, I apprecaite the feedback, I'll work on a stronger version when I get my new mixer this week :)

I think I'll try to record this song with seperate guitar rhythm and vocals, it will probably be easier to sing.

it seems like you constrict your vocals a little bit. there is some potential there. just work on singing more often - sing with confidence always. it really makes all the difference.

again, though, keep up the good work.

Thanks I appreciate it. You're 100% correct, I feel I never get good recordings because I feel like I'm not signing with confidence when I record... Not like when I'm just sitting there playing guitar, ya know? I feel I can't get loud on my setup or it breaks the ceiling to easily and sounds like shi*...it's probably because I don't know what I'm doing with it :) I'm sure someone who knows about adjusting sound levels could help me, or even point me in the right directions.. that would be sweet ;)
