The myspace isn't quite presentable yet, so these will have to do for now. Sorry about the crappy mixing, the songs were recorded a bit too hot. Will fix that when the CD is done.

So what do you play?

So what do you play?

Every instrument. It's kind of a solo project with a band name, like The Streets. I do have some help with the lyrics from time to time, and maybe a guest vocal here and there.

 

[BVS]

I really like the guitar, but the vocals may need some work...

At least try adding a little reverb.

I did, but the vocals got lost in the mix. Now they sound like they're covered by a pillow or something. It could have been the disc--->MP3--->video--->Youtube conversion that screwed it up.

Then again, I'm an audiophile.

OK, try the myspace now:

The sound quality on the songs is far superior: no crackle.

The music sounds really good.

I dig your guitar tone on "Bittersweet Epiphany."

But the vocals are terrible.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, I'm not a great singer. On key, but not much else.

 

[MrBrau1]

Keep trying.

Singing is really, really ****ing hard.

I can't sing worth ****, but I've had a few people who know what they're doing give me good advice. And I at least find myself serviceable now.

Or find a hot chick who knows how to sing.

Bingo.

A drummer would be nice too, but let's not break the bank.

I dig Bittersweet Epiphany

I'll listen to the rest tomorrow when I'm not about to go to bed.

On what/how are you recording these tunes?

A little bit of half-decent production and you could really pull a couple gems out. Guess who's going to be studying to be a producer?

Thanks.

I'm recording it on a 16 track. Pretty good stuff, but you can't just throw stuff in and expect it to sound decent, which is my problem. There's too much going on, and it's recorded too loudly, so it sounds like crap.
