no one ROCK sounded kinda scratchy - not sure what was up with that.

dead party has a cool vibe, and better production. main riff reminded me of the end portion of one of pearl jam's songs. nothin' wrong with that.

I do record into the line-in, but use a mixer in between (which probably doesn't add much to the sound, but gives me more volume control). While I don't think mine are "great" it does work for doing demo-quality stuff. I can't say if yours are great or not, it depends what you were going for. Something tells me that if it were side by side with a major release it would sound small/quiet, but perhaps not alongside an indie release.

recording direct for me just equals mud and distorted cleans personally.

guitar to effects to amp----line out to laptop input.

I listened to a snippet on my work computer, and although the sound quality of my computer ain't too hot, it is usually not clippy/scratchy sounding. But I thought I heard something in the recording clipping - maybe drums, maybe guitar, maybe a halucination. If you don't hear it on your end, it's probably just the myspace player, my crappy computer, or my ears.

It sounds fine on MySpace, but that's because the audio quality on that site is bad in general.

I like your playing. You have excellent timing and rhythmic sensibilities.

hmmm.... i listen to the real version and the song has an effect on it to make it sound like its playing form a vinyl record player...thats what the scratchy sound was...haha
