somber mood you have created, really enjoyed the lyrics as they really
fit well with the overall tone of the music. The instruments are sort of
muffled and mix the needs some work. But overall good start welcome
to MacJams.

The mix is muffled. I blame Audacity, but it is a free program, after all,
and you get what you pay for. There's some odd sounding stuff in the
background, and a little less gimmicky arrangement might work better,
but the bones are good. Watch out for peaking and pops a little more
carefully and it could be improved a lot.

although it's a little hard to hear past the production issues. It seems as if
you have some equipment needs. A mic, preamp, and Garageband, of
course, would help raise the fidelity. But your voice is super and haunting.
I will check out your other tunes.

Hello and welcome to macjams.

The song itself is fantastic and shows so much promise.
Your ideas are really great too and your voice is superb.

This does need work on the production and didn't play well here soundwise.

Try burning your track to cd and previewing it through many didn't systems, you know car stereo, headphones, hi fi, etc.

You'll be able to judge your mix better.

I gotta say though as a concept, your voice and the overall feeling are all great.

Really, really look forward to hearing this when done and if you need any further prompters or help feel free to mail through the site.

Thanks for posting :-)

yeah, i cant wait until i get a mac so i can use garageband. i have no drum loops, etc. its quite sad really.
i have cakewalk, but i dont know how to use it and therefore dont. i know the recording is bad, but..oh well. its content that counts. and you should hear me live ;)

Well if you have Cakewalk I would suggest learning how to use it, as you well
a least have access to EQ and compression, effects , etc. However wether you
use a Mac or a PC is irrelevant, as the principles of recording are the same
regardless of platform or software used. Granted some programs are easier
than others but until you get a Mac, download a few tutorials on Cakewalk if
you spend a few solid hours you can figure out enough to get you started.

I could imagine your quite brilliant live. Like I say I think the feel of the track and where your heading really is brilliant.

The vocals were really hard to pick up. It was almost as if they weren't there. I thought the song itself was a solid effort and, if produced properly, could be a very good piece. GarageBand provides pretty good support for recording vocals, provided you had a way of getting them in. Even without a good mic, it is possible to get some decent results, as some people have used only their Mac's built-in Mic. I think this might be more of a post-production issue. Good luck!

Darkness. Nice composition. Beyond production issues, it has a deep
felt sound to it.

thank you.
i usually go for the dark sound, but in a unique way. id hate to be cliche..

Slightly reminiscent at points of the Rolling Stone's Angie (it made me
thing I'd hear Mick Jagger's voice come in :)), but very much your own
creation.
As noted elsewhere, the production needs work. It's my opinion that the
hardest part for most people is the song part - you've got that well in
hand here in my opinion.

I happen to love the rawness of the recording quality. It feels much more personal to me. And as you previously stated, it is the content that counts. The world doesn't need anymore perfectly recorded music, it just needs people that aren't afraid to experiment with what they have and make something amazing with tools that aren't so amazing.

to hear a remix as it offers the promise like a theatrical trailer that makes you say I want to see that.
