[letsgocoyote]

Crosspost from HCFX, but I was hoping you's guys would listen and give me feedback. I'd like to improve. Also, I've already recorded this and other songs previously at this dudes house and he was full recording rig and the version he recorded has 9 million tracks and it sounds pretty epic.... but he hasnt finished mixing it and I dont know when he will and I am into DOING WORK, get things done man... anyway, crosspost:

Russian Olives Demo, it's the only song on there right now.

RIP IT APART, I need to get better maybe.

Recorded with a Tascam DP-004 Pocket Studio. Guitar was a Danelectro U-1 into a Mellowtone Hi Five as a preamp into a Smokey Amp into a Carvin 4x10 cabinet mic'd with Nady Star Power mics in the front and the back. Slight reverb added in Audacity. Vocals recorded with the same cheap Nady mics, double tracked, slight reverb added in Audacity. Synth bass line was a Novation Xiosynth 25, just edited the initial patch with a mellow sine wave and a touch of sawtooth, bassier filter setting, and tweaked the attack, decay, sustain, and release to try and make it sound as much like a real bass as I could without spending hours tweaking.

If someone wants to record a drum track for fun, I recorded to a 108bpm click track.

Very mellow. I like your style. The doubletracked vocals clash a bit, though. Personally, I'd just re-do one of the vocal takes. Everything else sounds great!
I liked that I could tell immediately it was a hi-five boosting. I use mine too much, I guess.

The doubletracked vocals are great souding but, being critical, yeah there's a couple of hairy places. I love the stripped down elliot smioth meets Jonathan Richman feel.

I put up another, "eastern shores" check it tell me you thoughts

[daydreamer]

i liked it a lot!! i kinda expected it to be more fuzzy and stuff though (this is not a criticism).

I like it!

Which by default means you're singing is out of key in places or it's poorly recorded or or you're not very good at guitar. So don't change a thing! I would like to hear a jangly guitar version. That's what you get when you ask a popkid...
