Nice Guitar , But Theres no "Bang!" if you know what I mean, Theres a build up but it carrys on like that.

Sorry if you dont get me, But I think you need to make it go like ( The main song here ) then before the singin Get A nice bit in there

Or if you like , Just ignore me

I just listened to it (sloooowww Download). Anyway, it sounds great. I like the guitar riff it starts with and the singing sounds clean and on beat. Its not exactly my type of music as I listen to Metallica Megadeth n such, but I like the song. Everything sounds on beat and I did notice the build up leading to not much of a bang, but for that kind of music, there really isn't a Bang ya know. I think it sounds great. Btw, did you do the singing, guitar, and or drums? I only play guitar

there is a bang (the bit at the end of the recording) but i may have to move it forward to give a more instant bang.

Just listened to it, the general beat of it sounded really good. However the quality sounded quite low, really "fuzzy" and such, but it could just be my hardware.

Another ban...another name

Well... I'm not sure what effects you're using on the vocals, but they're pretty painful. Some sort of destortion echo thingee on hard left pan. Essh.

A very good concept, I should say--opening guitar intro, then sort of layed back rap beat to the vocals. I do think it could be improved considerably There needs to be more action, if you know what I mean. Maybe after 30 seconds of the vocals, a rising guitar riff backed with a simple base accompnyment. The vocals swell over it, then coast back down... but the baseline stays, lending more power and a increased feeling of it actually going somewhere. You could repeat this once, or maybe twice. Say you put the same riff in both repeats, only the second time you implement a keychange or something to add even more power. Then back to the root, then baseline fadeout, then parting vocals, then parting drumbeat, then... scilence.


Let me know if that made any sense at all

I kinda felt it needed to get busy earlier in the tune, like you said put that rock out at the end more toward the beginning, and the singing quality was good, but maybe just a little more enunciation on the words, and play with the vocals, stretching and snapping words. If you want him to sound a little laid back, you can sort of slur some phrases(a small "drunk" effect). Is this arranged samples or a recording of a band?

its all me recording (and a drum machine), and the bass is actually a guitar going through an effects pedal which drops it an octave

im currently playing with ways to make the starting riff more powerful. listening to some blood sugar sex magik songs i noticed the bass and guitar playing exactly the same riff in the powerfull songs ('suck my kiss' and 'my lovely man'), so im gonna try that. And maybe uping the tempo.

Im thinking maybe working on the bass alot will help, maybe get my bassist over to write something.
