Members logansc Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 and I'm wondering if any of you don't think I suck like I do. I already dislike how I sound so insults wouldn't hurt me. So yeah, recording tips would be accepted, praises would be accepted, and insults won't hurt me. So bring it on... http://www.myspace.com/logansmusicisgreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members logansc Posted November 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 wow, no one cares at all. That's cool. To the introuduce your band thread it is!!! But technically this is also a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sex Panther Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 So you dislike how you sound, but your myspace is "Logansmusicisgreat"? Not a fan of the lead part that's going on. Other than that....sounds like death metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members logansc Posted November 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 I dislike my vocals. Guitar I'm fine with. And I don't need people thinking I think I suck that i'm not looking to for advice like you guys. Plus what else would it be. And that's cool, because I thought it was more like generic metalcore stuff and it bothered me. I like it better when I write my own stuff that is more death like. I'm about finished with one of those kind of songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cobrahead1030 Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 in all honesty the recording is a trainwreck...before ya even start talking about writing, style, in genre you atleast need to get the guitar & drums in time with one another if you admit to disliking it then why put it out for people to hear?

Members logansc Posted November 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Tip #1Get a metronome! I dislike the vocals, and I use the page more for showing bands and people directly through links like on here. I'm not shooting for the hundreds of myspace friends. But I know I could definitely get tighter on my timing it's just hard as all get out! And I do use a metronome quite a lot. There is a new song up now that is a lot more geared to death metal. I think I did a better job on it. Check it out. http://www.myspace.com/logansmusicisgreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members logansc Posted November 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well I'm going to finish an essay now... But when I come back I hope to see a comment or two. Now i'm interested in what you'll think of the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exafro Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I know its been said, but your timing is way all over the place. You really need to make a conscious effort to improve it otherwise everything you ever record will never sound as good as it could be. I liked the growls.

You really need to make a conscious effort to improve it otherwise everything you ever record will never sound as good as it could be. I liked the growls. right, timing is off. I would like to think this is because I'm a guitar player playing every instrument on the recording, but it's off on the guitar too. but I just can't improve the drums without tons of practice, and honestly I'd rather practice guitar more. I really need to find a band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members logansc Posted November 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 {censored} the cookie monster... I want to hear some Yoda vocals. If I were to ever do it live you could definitely hear some. I have to take so many takes to get those vocals like that. I'm definitely noy meant to do lead vocals. And my voice gets different and messed up every time I'm doing it. If I make a few more i'll get a real gruff sexy voice probably:thu: But apparently I was wrong you guys seem to think the vocals are okay. and the rest of it is more of a problem. I was thinking the vocals were a big problem, and the tightness was just a problem. Oh well. I guess this is good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JamesPeters Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh well. I guess this is good? Hold on there...none of us said that. Growling is growling. Anyone can do it if they try. Timing is key. You absolutely must learn it. "Control...control...you MUST LEARN CONTROL!!!" (Yoda reference #2 in this thread.) Because honestly your timing is so bad, nothing works well at all, and you know if it were just a case of the drums being off you could replace it with samples or premade backing tracks.

Members cobrahead1030 Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 your whole band needs a metronome, not just one person...it doesn't matter how great one guy's timing is, if the rest of the band isn't dead on with him you go to the fine arts center right? believe me there's a good reason steve will drill into your head how important timing is btw...is that new song supposed to be a despised icon cover?

Members JamesPeters Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 It's all me, a guitar player, trying to do all the other instruments. Keep trying. :poke: Seriously though, without at least decent timing, it's a trainwreck. It doesn't matter if you're doing it all yourself or not, it's still a trainwreck. And lots of other people can play more instruments than guitar, and have done their own projects. The project or song speaks for itself. So in the end if you're sloppy, you're sloppy. There are no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like this song (my idea of what it could be that is) so I'm gonna redo it, and I think I found somebody to do the drums. So i'll go back and fix any guitar that gets off at all, and see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members logansc Posted November 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 two words: click track. words I've heard again and again. And something I'll use again, but this time just for guitar, and only for guitar. I'm leaving anything that isn't really simple on drums and bass to somebody else, and hopefully vocals too. Unless it takes too long, then I'll get bored and try it again and suck on timing again:cry: But maybe i'll get a band going. I only know one bass player who is cool enough to accept into said future band and thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost got into one band about two weeks ago with this method. I went out and met the guys at one of their shows, and they were awesome dudes, and sounded good enough for me to be interested, but they wanted me to drive about 1 hour away every Wednesday to practice starting at about 9:30 p.m., and then I'd have to be back home at around 12:00, so leaving at like 11:00. So I would be doing a 3 and a half hour trip once a week for an hour and a half at best of practice. I wasn't thinking the band sounded that good when they told me that ya know. Oh well. I hope to start a band, but joining one seems the easiest option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
