cool mang! Recording the guitars was very medidative - I did about 5 layers with different settings/pedals on the rectifier and jcm800 modelers. I listen to AIC and Queens of the Stone Age alot so that influences me. I think I could do some better vox - maybe next time when I dont have a cold and I practice a little more. What didnt u like about the vox? cause I am using a lot of vibrato, maybe it sounds a little whiny?. I am using a $7 microphone for vox so that aint in mah favor eithers. Thanks for the feedback!

The vox are too set back and effected they need more presence they also sound very pitchy and thus tentative because of those things. Don't hold back on them it makes it sound like you are apologizing for them:scratchch
If singing isn't your thing do the tracks instrumental and just play the lead vocal line, no harm in that. You can work the vox up from there until they are ready. That way the song and your skills progress.

haha
at least u heard the recent ones and not the ones with effects buried by guitars in the background...would it help if there was twice as many lyrics and less sustained notes. that would make it more punk and rapid fire lyrics.
...Im kinda wondering if ya'll dislike the vocals on all my songs. which is fine, Im just thinking there isnt alot I can do with em beyond where they are at right now, right?

Re: I have a new song online called Dream Rider. heavy metal chugga chugga
what kind of mics, pre-amp, and mix are you useing? Im guessing some good gear and a better mix, and some more intensive vocals will work without any distortion.I don't think the actual voice is the problem, well... maybe the projection and energy. i listemned one more time and it would be tons better with better mic preamp/mic and most importantly a better mix. Maybe put more force into the vocals.I think your voclas have a lot of potential ,which is the best thing of all, cause I could ahve a seven thousand dollar mic preamp and a five thousand dollar ribbon mike and I'd still sound like a frog.That said, a good 1000.00-1500.00 tube mic preamp and a good 6-800 mic could make even a frog sound prety good mixed properly..especially with the new vocal processors.BELT out those vocals sometimes. Youve gpot a strong voice and a good voice.

Re: I have a new song online called Dream Rider. heavy metal chugga chugga
way cool bro, I appreciate the insights alot
Next time I record, I am gonna sing better and do a better job using the software. I will be using this compressor:
which is free online, and I will experiment with the compressor mix after I record...
I will try using this line 6 preamp model next time, which allows for heavy vocals - the preset for "Downward Spiral" for Line 6 user preset has the "Drive" maxed out (below):
THanks again;; I really appreciate your insights

i almost got that same SG but instead went with the SG Custom Prophecy. same pickups and the guitar itself is more metal oriented with 24 frets and that sexy black burst on quilted maple finish

Re: I have a new song online called Dream Rider. heavy metal chugga chugga
Thats cool bro, I would take the SEXXXY Prophecy over my SG "Custom" too. I wanted EMG81/85s for my metal tendancies and got mine "as new" for $250 which costs as much as pups and installation. Needless to say I am extremely happy with my guitar.
Thats true that I dont have to sing. I am reallllllly busy with school and work, so jam sessions consist of acoustic folk music for me; no metal. I like getting my voice out there cause chicks dig it - Im linked up to facebook myspace account etc; but if I can get for my singing a better grade than C+ that is what I ultimately want. I used to be the singer in bands, but over the last 5yrs I havent sang much ...but my chops are starting to get on par again.
