My New Song, "Nothing Left" - General

Hey guys I'm here to show you one of my songs, its the second song I've ever wrote and took me the last few months to get it to a point where I was completely happy with it! Its a home demo and I'm not really great at recording but it's acceptable as a demo. I hope you guys like it and be completely honest with your opinions as I am completely open to criticism. Production wise and recording gear I use: Vocal recording - Samson C03 Condenser Microphone, alot of compression, a little bit of reverb. Guitar recording - Gibson SG Standard, Planet Waves Cables, Amplitube 3 (Gain 5, Bass - 4, Mids - 6, Treble 9) , PSP Vintage Warmer (Heavy Rhythm Guitar Setting) ALSO, HEAVY DOUBLE TRACKING ON GUITARS (PANNED HARD LEFT, HARD RIGHT) Bass recording - Yamaha Bass, Ampeg SVX. Drum recording - Triggered into Addictive Drums 1.0 And studio wise I use a Macbook Pro OSX 10.4 with Logic 9, M-Audio Fast Track Pro and KRK RP5. Thanks, YouTube raped the quality but here you go...

Thumbs up. Just wish it had a killer solo instead of the slower spot at around 2:30

What are you using to record your guitars? The production sounds top notch for a home recording, and frankly sounds better to me that a lot of the stuff released today. Not really a fan of that type of music so I can't offer anything there.

I'm not really into that, but nice voice, nice tone, sounds great. I'd also like to know how you recorded it.

Make a band.

Thanks alot, means alot! :) and jedi, I would if I could, but my solo writing skills are merely average :( I added some info into the OP about recording gear and techniques, also feel free to ask any more questions and I can get you links for gear.

Awesome guitar tone and a pretty decent song, even though I'm not really in to that type of music. Really, top notch.

Not my kind of genre, but the quality for a home-recording is outstanding. It sounds very professional.

What interface are you using between your guitar and PC? Easily the best sound I've ever heard from software amp emulators.

[QUOTE=TheGuru;23300118]What interface are you using between your guitar and PC? Easily the best sound I've ever heard from software amp emulators.[/QUOTE] I use a M-Audio Fast Track Pro, ([url]http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro.html[/url]) With my PC I get some tiny latency problems but on the mac its not to bad at all, I'm thinking of upgrading soon to the Apogee Duet ([url]http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/duet.php[/url]) for my mac, as it gets rid of all latency problems even at high sample rates apparently, from the interface I use two phono cables to connect it to my speakers, the interface supports phono out and quarter inch out for output, I would have preferred XLR out though, as i'm guessing it would be better quality. I think the PSP Vintage Warmer ([url]http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/dynamic_processors/psp_vintagewarmer2/[/url]) also has a lot to do with the sound, its a brilliant plugin.

Wow, I like it!

wow, That was sick. Way better than I thought it would be.

Like everyone else, I think the sound quality is superb. In my opinion, the guitar should have a bit more variation. It'll make the song livelier or something like that.

I think it is a well produced piece and the music sound good. I don't think I'd listen to the music because it's a bit bland for me, but that is a more personal taste, I think a lot of people would enjoy it. Some issues I think it has is -Bass doesn't have to much power to it and it's harder to notice. -Kick feels like it is in the mids frequencies. -I'd say sounds pretty over compressed by the lack of dynamics. You've been working on mixing the song for a month, so I don't think you can call it a demo.

I was pleasantly surprised by this, great job!

I like this a lot. Keep it up man this is good stuff. [editline]10:12PM[/editline] also I'd love an HQ download link
