[QUOTE=bunguer;17114445]What does that have to do with anything? I acknowledged that long time ago and said it's something we will try improve next time, now you're just trying to be annoying... Everyone has to start from somewhere, everyone makes mistakes, and I'm trying to learn from it.[/QUOTE]
it has everything to do with everything. it's something you need to improve before you do anything again. this shit sounds like a couple of retarded paraplegics trying to play guitars with their feet.

Amen. You(OP) just can't take criticism. This particular song was so poorly made that pointing out all its flaws is stupid. I have made many songs myself and if I've learned something it's that the overall quality of the playing and mixing increases dramatically for each song you make.
This cover sucks. And you'd be better off just remaking it entirely from scratch. But don't let that get you down, we must all start somewhere. Just don't expect to be praised here on FP until your song sounds fucking perfect. Now if you had made your own song then one could overlook the production quality and just look at it from a composer's point of view, but since this is a cover there's no excuse for messing things up this badly.

Like the guy above you said, you'll get better with time.

I recommend either practicing using a boss micro recorder, or for perhaps the same price getting a proffessional recording studio to hire. Like my band's doing, but we get a promoter-discount.
Fuck ever going back to doing it ourself.
[QUOTE=bunguer;17127160]Thanks for the comment, since you said you done many songs by yourself, maybe could you give some tips? On recording, mixing and whatever you feel like saying.[/QUOTE]
Well it's something that's hard to do well and teach. I am no expert myself either. Mixing a song is a form of art, like painting a picture. Make sure your master recordings are clean and well equalized before importing them to the final song. If you play guitar you might want to cut some of the bass you'd normally have, since you're gonna use a bass track in the song. You want to be careful not using too many samples with the same frequency. Let the bass have one interval, the guitars another etc. I also mess around alot with the volumes of each track. And make sure you pan the tracks differently (as in what plays through the left/right speaker). Just as with frequencies, you don't want too many tracks having the exact same panning.
Other tips:[list]
[*]If you want a heavy filling guitar sound, try recording 2 separate guitar tracks where you play the same thing. Pan one to the left and the other to the right. You can do the same thing with vocals too. It sounds neat.
[*]The more tracks you use, the harder it is to mix it well. Try to limit yourself in the beginning, and/or make sure the song is properly mixed until you add another track.
[*]Listen to other songs from a producer's point of view. How loud are the drums? In what channel is the keyboard? How many tracks are they using for the vocals? Listen to songs of similar style to your song and copy. Don't worry, nobody considers it stealing.
[*]If you don't have a bass guitar but want an authentic bass guitar sound you can play the bass track on an electric guitar, clean, and then pitching it down a few steps. Personally, I mostly do power metal and therefore I use a sampled bass which suits all my needs.
[*]Finally, don't give up. Just like learning an instrument or a language, mixing is a skill that takes[i] alot[/i] of time to master. And producing songs is the best way to learn.[/list]

Glad I could help.
Waaaaay too much Bass.
This is crap on a stick. The bass is annoying as fuck and whenever some other guitarr plays it's not rythmic.
