Well, lttle ambitious for me to sing this, I had to drop the tuning in the end, found A great program that I bought called "Riffmaster Pro" that allow you to change the pitch etc without changing the actual sound of the mp3, there is a drop off in quality but it was the only way I was ever going to hit the high`s!
 Got a kind of "live" feel to I think, anyways still hate my voice, but I think its listenable too? Breakdown is Smells - Rhythm hard left and solo one & vocals Stevie - Rhythm hard right and solo two 
Trooper_finished1.mp3 ( 3.92MB )
Number of downloads: 716Congrates to Stevie, who in my opinion picked the harder of the two solo`s but did a great job on it! well done mate!  Edit:forgot Stevie done the bass also

Hey Chris, that's awesome mate! Your vocals really stand up well!
A couple of recording tips if I may for the vocals specifically: 1. Sounds like you didn't use a pop shield? FOr 10 quid they can make a lot of difference - if you did use one then I guess it would have been worse without! If you don;t have a pop shield handy you can improve things a little with a de-esser plugin 2. The live feel is mainly because you are getting a lot of "room" sound in your vocal. Recording studios go to great lengths to lose this or to turn it into something pleasing - the average bedrrom recording however suffers from boxiness due to the acoustics of the room.There are a couple of ways to improve on this. The first is acoustic treatments - bass traps, absorption pads etc. You can do a lot like this but it usually runs fowl of the WAF (Wife Appreciation Factor). A second way is to use something like a "Reflexion Filter" - this is a shield that perches on your mic stand and does a fairly good jjob of shielding reflections and takes a lot of the liveness out of the room. When you have a deader sound the ideas is then to add ambience using a reverb plugin that you control, then you are no longer at the mercy of your room sound! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

This is rocking! well done both of you

now I have no idea how he does it! 
I can do Judas Priest and Iron Maiden really well and so can our singer but it is far from easy. I really like this anyway so keep up the good work. I always find the 2nd solo easiest to play. I can barely play the 1st solo as I'm a bit rubbish
