state of mind is the song
It's really quiet. I think you should seriously consider spending $100 on an audio interface. You mentioned you have an sm 57 which is a great start but the mic input on your computer isn't decent enough for any reasonable mic.
thx for the imput!! It sounds fine on my computer I wonder why it is low on yours?? Money is hard to come by right now, I could work more but would have less time for music. Getting better at guitar is better then money i guess :?
I seem to record late at night .IIt hits me late for some reason so I have to be quiet and not sing loud or the neighbors will hate me :roll: I'm gonna check out the swap meet and pawn shops for recording stuff.
The vocals are so soft I have no idea what the lyrics could possibly me. I occasionally pick out 'state of mind' but that's probably because that's the title. If you recorded the vocals on a seperate track could you up the volume of it a notch?
thx I'll do that. did you get the wav file or the mp3?? I uploaded the mp3 and took off the wav it didnt sound as good.
It is the first song I did on audacity so they can only get better :shock:
I got the Mp3 one. A trick to get both the guitar and vocals clearly audible is by panning one a bit to the left and the other a bit to the right. This will give both tracks their own 'space' in the stereo image. The vocal track seemed to have quite some effects over it (delay and chorus/phaser?) which makes it harder to mix it in properly. Normally you'd have the vocals dead-center but I'd try putting it around 50 to either left or right if you plan on keeping the effects. (depending on the lyrics ofcourse but based on the title I can see the function of those effects)
:D thx you are awesome! gonna do some work on it now and upload it again .
