Neeed some honest feedback

[Illini1330]

I finally figured out how to use sound click, and wrote this song the other day. I think only the low-fi version works, at least for me. It's basically a funky rock ballad thing. It's called Lenny because that song kind of inspired me to write this one. I used a crap $5 mike from a kareokee set into the mic inout on my laptop. I uses my stock MIM strat and my peavey studio pro 112. I want to know what I can improve on,how the recording job was, how my tone and technique were.

Re: Neeed some honest feedback

man for that bad recording setup, it sounds pretty damn good. i love the tone, and the groovy, funky, bluesy playing. id just say fill in those spacy little fillers at the end with some better licks. other than that..... rock on.

Re: Neeed some honest feedback

playing sounds nice, i like it. As far as recording goes you need a soundcard that is designed for recording music www.m-audio.com, very good soundcards i won one, works great and also you need some kind of mixer to act as a inbetween you and you compuetr to plug your gear into. I use a Yamaha MG10/2 wich is great little mixer for guitar or for mic hookups.

That was nice! But at the end there was lot of outside playin imho .
But overall it was good, nice tone indeed.

Re: Neeed some honest feedback

You're playing is very good, the chord progression is cool, you're tone is pretty amazing for your set-up, although it's hard to tell for sure because your recording is bad.

I don't know if it's the sound card but I'd first blame the mic. A karaoke mic is total crap. Start by buying a better mic, you'll need it anyway. If it's not better, change your soundcard. You're playing skill deserves a lot better. Keep on posting!

Re: Neeed some honest feedback

I can't download your clip. Soundclick says it hasn't been cleared yet.

Try low-fi if you haven't yet.
