In this recording, unlike the previous one, there's no copied parts, everything you hear was recorded, except for the drums the bass was even recorded in one take! (I'm proud of him!) I still got some issues with the song.. for example, the ending of the chorus, I playd that in our rehersals and it sounded great, but on the recording it just doesn't sound right, and overall I think the song has an amateur feel to it... So if you got any suggestions on how to make it more intresting I'm open for suggestions! The band: Iluha - Guitar Omer - Bass Tom - Drums Jonathan - Vocals & backing guitar during solo I hope you enjoy it, it was very fun recording this and it really helped my band to get more confident in our music. Edit: Fixed the recording up a bit, upped the volume of the guitar, and fixed it's placement, it doesn't sound late anymore. THE FILE IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.

Two small things that bothered me a little were that your singer doesnt have a really strong voice- but i guess that'll come with practise... and also at the end- i think a more climatic ending would sound better- it sounded like it kind of just died out at the end.

Yeah I agree about the singing, unfourtantly this is the most confident vocalist I know of around here, on the positive side, he was much worst when he joined us, and he really improved. About the ending, it's on purpose, that's how I felt the right way to end such a dark song would be, and to me it sounds good Thanks for the comment man.

Vocals are nice, but IMO they need the most work to sound really convincing. I think song has a lot of potential, nice and catchy, rhythm is pumping nicely.

I actually decided that we will rerecord preety much everything.. as I found quite some issues Vocals are far from convincing, Rythm guitar sound is preety horrible, bass wasn't in cue with the drums most of the time.. I hope we will rerecord as soon as this saturday. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think you need to add some compression and eq to the whole track to get things to sound a bit more fluid and "whole". But that's just my oppion of course. Nice job mate.

But I think the guitar is a bit too dominating in the mix and also at the same time slightly muddy, and the drums are somewhat flat. Another thing that would greatly enhance the song and production is having some more dynamics to let the listener feel that it's going to get heavier soon. Hope that makes sense But other than that, i think the playing is good. The guitars are tightly played and the solo fits well You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The singer, just listen! He sings quit good, but his audio quality is way lower! You solo sounds really good and really cool for instance, but the sounds of the singer, it's like he's a bit to close to the mic! It's a waist of his voice if the recording quality is low, know what I mean? I don't mean to offend you, I just think might help!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As mentionend the guitar tone doesen't fit that good in the track. It sounds really like a pod, but the solo is great. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
