hey, i posted some of my music here a few months ago and got some awesome feedback! i just posted this new song on my website called "This Isn't The End". Its a kind of a weird song, and i'm really curious what people are going to think about it. So if you listen to it tell me whether you liked it or not. if you have any suggestions on things i need to work on shoot that my way too. i really want to get better.

Nice job, sounds good man. I even came in here ready to be honest and rip you a new one.

If you ever put that stuff up for download let me know.

Well done, but you seriously need to consider investing in a better microphone to do you justice :)

Very very nice! I probably wouldn't listen to it again because it was a bit repetitive during the first 2/3. I almost think you could lose that everpresent rolling guitar for a brief period at some point to break it up, but since you're the guy who makes great music and I'm not, take that FWIW. ;)

Oooh no, sorry. But there's lots of forums for just that kind of stuff :)

I'm only familiar with the Shure SM58 as being a great value on the budget side, but for $1000 you can do a shitload better.

Very good. Too bad the music I make doesn't fit with that type of instrumental :)

That's not bad at all! The singer has a Bryan Adams thing going on :) Very smooth, well mixed, very good!

I think your mixing need to put a little more emphasis on your vocals, I think they get drowned out a bit by the instrumental.

Other than that, awesome stuff, I'd buy a CD :)

What would be my best bet (meaning free and/or super cheap) way of recording some stuff on my computer? I've got a couple of songs I want to record and send as mp3's to my brother. I tried last night just using a webcam as the mic but it had this super obnoxious buzzing noise. I don't care about super quality, just something that works.

Yeah I guess i'll have to do that.

Also I wouldn't say your voice sounds like Bryan Adams. You have more of a Trust Company sound going on.

And hey, where'd the rest of the songs on your website go? I wanted to listen to all of them today at work.

thanks!! once i'm happy with the mixes i may put them up for download. after i get a few more songs i'm proud of i'll probably sell an EP album to help raise funds to do a full length one. then hopefully a lable will snag me somewhere along away to help out in marketing.
