Wanted to share a song I wrote and recorded.

It's called "Wasting My Time"

Comments are welcome good or bad. I recorded this in my home using Cakewalk Producer Edition and a Tascam interface. It's only one vocal track with three guitar tracks, bass and drums.

Just wanted to share. 🙂

Not bad at all man. Couple of suggestions, though: lose the opening sound effects, and remix to lift the vocals. Sounds like you might have been using a simple dynamic mic, and not much of the high range is coming through.

Yeah, I don't have a real good mic for recording vocals. Vocals were done with a SM58 (all I had). Wish I had money for a real nice condenser. 🙂 I wonder if I compress the vocals and raise the level if it would bring that out some. Maybe play around with the EQ-ing a bit.

I'm no sound engineer though.. Those guys really earn the money they make. 🙂

Not my kinda song, no offense.

I say keep the intro...but I love intros...I write them in pretty much every song :wub:

Prices on condensers have really come down. AKG and others have very good condenser mics for around $100. Here is a good example:
