New Clip

Well, if you didn't notice i am normally a metal kinda guy, but i decided 2 write something completely different, cause it was either write my own song or learn john mayer...and i refuse 2 learn john mayer. they lyrics are INSANELY corny, my timing is off, and it's a really simple song, but i am thinking about startng a side project for softer rock, you tell me if i should jsut stick 2 metal lol

Re: New Clip

How are you recording man.
It sounds very thin and barely audible. The sound is also sharp (of the accoustic).

Have you tried using line in for guitar with a preamp?
You need some kind of better mike with a mixing board.


I like the song idea. As far as singing goes, you are missing some notes. You gotta work out the singing melody and play it on guitar. Once you've done that, sing along with the melody line, until you can get all the notes exactly as you envisioned your melody.

Overall the guitar should be smoother (not as sharp), vocals should be louder and work on that melody

Re: New Clip

thanx, basically i am recording like this: $30 radio shack CPU mic (insanely sensitive) plugeged into the mic thing on my speakers (they are boston speakers), then placing my amp about 10-15 feet away so i can record w/o out it being to loud for the mic. i dont own an acoustic guitar, so that in my ESP LTD F200 on the neck pickup (EMG HZ H4) thorugh my really crappy kustom amp. plus side....i am getting my Peavey XXL head friday

Re: New Clip

well i think im gonna stick with metal for right now seeing as i just got some good news from Statue Records that they wanna promote, liscen(wow i cant spell), and distribute my cd, but my band doesn't have one so i have to discuss things with them, if neting it means my originals are good enough and i can always get back to them when the band gets the money to make a demo or something.

Re: New Clip

I tired to listen but the recording was so thin and low I could not hear it well. I am at work now and can't crank it up.

I'll check it from home later.

Re: New Clip

Try and fine your own voice man. Sorry, but you sound like Randy Man Macho Savage when you sing during the distorted stuff. (He's the guy that did the Slim Jim commercials if you didn't know).
