me and my sister sat down and started writing this song for about 2 hours last night. This is as far as we got. Please give suggestions and feedback about what could be changed or improved. Right now we've left off right before the bridge. We weren't entirely sure what to do there so we just left it for the night.
Anyways, tell me what you think.
Me on guitar, my sister on vocals.

No criticism from anyone?
3/5
:p
good one
Your sister has some interesting vocals. This sounds pretty good so far, but please get some better recording hardware! The audio tearing is painful! The guitar is good, but I feel like the vocals are being impeded because they weren't recorded properly.
I'm interested to hear how you finish this.
Sounds like some generic folk music.
It's hard to criticize it when the quality is so atrocious...
It's good. Now record it better and add bass somehow.
Yeah it was recorded on a macbook. We basically just wrote it and recorded it so we knew where we were. I was thinking criticism more in the song structure/musically rather than quality. Music is music despite what its recorded on. I don't have fancy recording equipment, but maybe it would be worth it to invest in a decent microphone and record the vocals/guitar on two separate tracks? Does anyone know where I can find a decent microphone in the $100 - $200 range?

And you do have a point. The vocals are definitely being drown out by the guitar, mainly because of the way we recorded it. We'll have to find a way to fix this. Thanks.

You don't need to spend any more than around $100, but some good mic's tend to need phantom power so you need some sort of audio interface. I'm not too sure what's the cheapest option here, but you're not going to get a particularly good mic without some kind of hardware to connect it to the pc (audio interface, mixer, good sound card whatever). I just bought a Behringer c3 which is fantastic.
In the mean time you should definitely be recording on two tracks, even now with your mac. That way you can use your DAW to EQ it and mix it properly which, even with this quality, would make it much easier to listen to.
