Here's a little number that is supposed to be kind of 60's pop sounding. Below is a list of questions I could use feedback on.
If anyone has any tips on how to record with a mic in GB and get it to blend with the software instruments I would be very appreciative. The vocals almost sound like they have effects on them, but there isn't (a touch of reverb, but for some reason they sound chorused even completely dry). To keep the levels consistant, shuold I be recording with compression on? I try to sing consistantly, but i'm not a real singer.
The guitar also sounds a little thin. granted, it's an archtop with dead strings, but maybe I should have used the 58 on it.
also I have a hard time getting a clean bass sound to be decent sounding and consistant in the levels.

I could tell you a story
I could tell you a secret or two
I could plant you a garden
what does that really say?
I could show you my footprints
I could show you the scar on my back
I could give you a dollar
what does that really say?
since I met you, I knew that I loved you
and I told you so, but you told me first
I forget and I take you for granted
but I love you more everyday, it's true
we could go to the movies
we could travel the world for a year
we could visit your sister too
what does that really say?
I could tell you a story
I could tell you a secret or two
I could plant you a garden
what does that really say?
since I met you, I knew that I loved you
and I told you so, but you told me first
I forget and I take you for granted
but I love you more everyday, it's true
i could tell you a secret
we could go to the movies
i could give you a dollar
what does that really say?
what does that really say?
what does that really say?
I could tell you a secret or two
I could plant you a garden
what does that really say?
I could show you my footprints
I could show you the scar on my back
I could give you a dollar
what does that really say?
since I met you, I knew that I loved you
and I told you so, but you told me first
I forget and I take you for granted
but I love you more everyday, it's true
we could go to the movies
we could travel the world for a year
we could visit your sister too
what does that really say?
I could tell you a story
I could tell you a secret or two
I could plant you a garden
what does that really say?
since I met you, I knew that I loved you
and I told you so, but you told me first
I forget and I take you for granted
but I love you more everyday, it's true
i could tell you a secret
we could go to the movies
i could give you a dollar
what does that really say?
what does that really say?
what does that really say?

This is a great song, as usual... your singing is quite good, and although I don't exactly hear the "chorusing" effect, it does sound like some additional room ambience mixed with the reverb, giving a bit of a "boxed-in" sound. Did you record close to the mic and turn the gain down, to minimize room reverb? That's the only thing I can think of. The overall mix does seem slightly thin, but not too bad. And I admit I didn't care much for the sweeping windy-synthy-thingie, it was distracting and didn't add to the song. Them's my thoughts :-) Good to hear another from you!
ttfn,
