Sloppy guitar playing. Clean it up imo. You are "trying too hard".


Dont like the vocals, especially with the reverb overkill. Are you forcing a southern accent???


I like the song as an idea, just needs cleanin up.

lol

ya I completely agree with how sloppy the guitar is, But its mainly because I recorded the guitar first and then the drums after which messed me up ALOT and made the song overall alot worse than it could be.

Southern? I didn't even know there was a bit of southern accent lol
I don't have a southern accent but I do live in South Carolina

And is the reverb really overkill? I barely have any on it, but ok ill fix it.

But really I'm going to have to redo the entire song and start with drums first to form a good base and beat for the song.

Thank you for posting

Re-making is a good idea.

I just listened for a short while, but i feel like it was off-beat most of the time... ._.

are you doing everything? You should record the melody, THEN put the drums on top. Are you using pro tools? If you put the drums first, you have to force your playing, which is annoying and sounds like crap. Listen to RATM, they tried to adjust their playing to the drums, and it sounded like shit, so they went back to recording the melody and chorus first.

This song is an attempt to record the melody first lol

But no I use Cubase 5.. I've posted on forums and everyone says to set your beat first then make everything else
And I'm in the process of doing this right now. It shall be remade way better
