go there to listen to my song "I don't care" which I have to redo cuz audacity is being an asshole

anyways, I don't have any singing for the first like 40 seconds yet so that part will be boring but the rest of the song has me singin my little heart out, so give me some advice on what I should change when I rerecord it!

[RadRacer]

hm newgrounds is weird, since the link got split onto 2 lines just select both lines and copy and paste it into your address bar then go there that way

[TVs-Slayer]

Copying and pasting isn't working for me either.

[RadRacer]

hopefully this time it'll work

My song

The singing is actually alright, just I didn't care too much for the shouting at the beginning. It sounded like you were shouting but trying not to wake anyone up.

As for the technical side, you might wanna put some tissue over your mic. There were some bad mic pops. The lyrics would blend better if they were a little quieter, and the lyrics weren't in time in a couple places, thought that can be easilt fixed.

The singing is good though.

Cool, thanks! Your spot on with the whole screaming not trying to wake someone up thing lol as my parents were sleeping when I recorded this . . . I guess I'll have to do it next time their out of the house.

As far as putting tissue over the mic I don't really understand that, what kind of tissue?

Also do you have any specific parts where the lyrics werent in time, or is that just sort of a general thing?

What do you think of the lyrics themselves? too cheesy maybe?

[TVs-Slayer]

The tissue suggestion is to keep air from entering the mic, causing those pops. Just wrapping a single layer of tissue or ever a sock shouldstop it from popping. Just make sure the material is thin enough that you still get a clear sound from your mic.

The lyrics were out of time in assorted places. It just seemed like you ended a note too soon or rushed through a lyric. When you record things in pieces things like that tend to happen. Just practise the song a little more, or even go in and splice the lyrics to time.

As for the lrics themselves, yeah, they are a bit cheesy, but then I think a lot of rock music has cheesy lrics, yet I still listen to it.

My idea would be to ease up on the gloom and doom. But thats only my personal opinion. You can have cynicism without being too heavy handed.

yeah good suggestion, next time I'll try it all at once and see if it flows better

lol very true

hmmm yeah your probably right, but I was thinking the start would be less sad and gloomy (thats why I'm having troubles writing it the sad gloomy stuff comes to me faster than a waterslide covered in butter)

Don't enjoy it, lyrics were ass and vocals made the lyrics seem worse.
Trying developing disctinct tones or at least unique vocal touches to make up for your obvious inability to sing.

I did, try using high harmonics or lack of volume control to add emotional emphasis and maybe even consider voice coaching.
Just my opinion.

You aren't really singing is the problem. You're just talking to a tune.

When you record your vocals, make sure no ones home and go at it.
You have to project. Sing LOUD and from your stomach not your throat. You're obviously holding back in this recording.
It doesn't matter what sort of voice you have; if you do it with passion, it'll sound good.

Or so I think.

[SolusLunes]

Shit, you're telling him to sing LOUD?!?!

Naah, I say go for it :D
