The Champion Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think that UATW is too much chaotic (yes I know you played it only few times), but I mean the tempo is too fast and you should sing it more calmly. Not like someone would chase you with an iron : D Hm it sounds like the song had been done a little casually. Just because, without any feeling. I would recommend you then add a little heart to it next time and I think it will be ok. Guitarist was a one mad man XD Did he even knew the scale? lol. HLH, as for verse I think you should change the way you sing a little. I don't know how to explain it but hm maybe change a style slightly? Ya know what I mean? As for the pre chorus. NO. That weren't the notes, so sorry : ( I think that it was the worst part. The ending was ok, but I would recommend you the same thing I did in the verse. Concentrate on singing more. Maybe yous should do the multi-tracking? Cause I think that if you'll try a little harder you'll do better stuff, so good luck, record something more if you want to I still enjoy listening it.

fooby Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Cheers for the crit, I've recorded tons of parts for LIT2 including the dulcimer, so I'm probably gonna put vocals over that if you want a better idea of multi-tracking stuff, although the chorus is really high for me.

The Champion Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Then practice or make it low. No one's gonna throw bricks at you. You can always sing an octave lower or change the key. But the second one is troublesome if you already recorded the parts, so I guess...just sing it the way you want. You don't have to stick to original always (although I prefer these versions of covers) but as I mentioned before add a little feeling to it (just not too much).

Hopefully soon though :) Might do A Message in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fooby Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Just got it recorded, actually think it suits my voice quite good, need to rig a new mic setup though, even in the chorus when it's real loud my mic picks it up quite quietly, as it's pointed at the guitar.

The Champion Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Good. Good cover, but my advice is that you should maybe sing more firmly? Do you know what I mean? And I think that it would sound better if you'd sung it lower, but this one also does the work. And great guitar playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooby Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Cheers, by firmly do you mean like less wobbly? That's definitely something not having the guitar seems to help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Champion Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yeah it sure helpes. Well by firmly I meant hmm... something like harden your accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Not bad, I do completely agree with The Champion here. Also another tip, first record the guitars(make sure it's not as mono as it is right now!) and than record your vocals seperated on it's own track. Next make sure your vocals come to the front of your guitar and put up the recording here! I say this because this recording is pretty hard to judge as it is.

The Champion Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 But seriously? I recorded some songs with just a skype microphone and the audacity and it sounded good. I mean, not me :lol: Definitely not. But the quality was good, really good if you do seperate tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooby Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 It should be exactly the same as the microphone being used is the same as the vids, just you have that advantage of being able to have multiple guitar tracks and stuff so it sounds fuller. I really need to get myself a pre-amp to get rid of the stupid amount of noise caused by boosting the mic, it actually sounds quite decent when it isn't. Anyway I'll try and get that LIT2 recording finished today. Also when I use that guitar I think I need to change the mic setup, as on my Takamine I have a feedback buster (rubber block in sound hole) to stop feedback from monitors when I'm playing live, but it also quietens the guitar down quite allot, so you can't here the vocals properly without it.

fooby Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yet again didn't get LIT2 done, Had to record it elsewhere as the hammer dulcimer belongs to my grandad and it's quite valuable so he doesn't want me taking it anywhere. Working on Charlie Brown now, just worked out the guitar part after finally working out what tuning it is. Eb A D G Bb D for anyone wondering, never even seen it before.

fooby Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Here's Charlie Brown, it's a multi tracked recording :) Pretty pleased with this, actually managed to get a pretty good guitar tone! Please excuse my dodgey mixing.
