Hey,

heres my first song vie recorded on the BR. its rough and isnt perfect by any means.

the solos were all improvised completely so please dont expect flawless lead :D

I consists of a rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, drum arrangement and one addition piece of lead in the last 10 seconds of the song :D

nothing is perfect and there are a few mistakes but this is jsut a first attempt at uisng the BR properly. was also my first drum arrangement so is a bit cheesy :)

i'd just like some views on the overall song and whether its a good structure as well as any pointers of constructive critisism :P

enjoy!

Well here is my take at it:

The song: Its a nice song, has a catchy feeling and a solid structure. Would like to hear some vocals to finish it off. I enjoyed all the rhythm guitars as well as the solos. The bass is cool too. Overall it is a nice piece. Only missing some vocals to give it more sense and meaning. The drums are cool too, add some more breaks.

The recording: Its good! Everything sounds good to my ears. In the end, when all the lead guitars join in there is a bit distortion though (the bad distortion type).

Good work!

Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.

Hey,

yeah its a song we've written as a band but the bassist sings and we hanvt written lyrics yet so there will be lyrics to follow.

yeah i noticed the distortion however i do like the end lead contribution of 2 lead guitars.

and thanks for the comments...always good to know how to improve.

the lead was all improvised so im going to write one or two solos out of that long improvised piece and have a solid strctured solo.

thanks!


Pedro

Yes, it is almost always better to plan before record. I forgot to rate it, In a 0 to 10 scale. I give your song..........




I especially made this gif for you.  :D

devilfish

Ahahahah, cool.

personally id say its more a 5 or 6 but its my own workm so im obviously going to see the manyt flaws in it ahaha.

my one worry was that it doesnt sound to dark or emo. it was written as a sort of punky, rock song.


guitarhead

Good job, got my head nodding.
Sometimes the sound is a bit distorted, as mentioned by admin, but overall good recording.
Are you going to post the full version with vocals later? I would love to hear that!

devilfish

Hey,

thanks for the comment,s much appreciated, and im really glad you liked it even tohugh its a really rough recoridng :D

yeah i will be recording with my band fairly soon and we have yet to write lyrics so il make asure to post the final recording or at least link you to it if your itnerested, it may not have anythign to do with the micro br on the proper recording so it may not be suitable for the site :)

Well, it started on the BR, so I think the final version will be appreciated at this topic, recorded on the BR or not. :)

Nice job man, I loved it
I'm a huge punk fan myself so I really liked the palm muting and what not
cant wait to hear some more stuff you post
keep it up man

devilfish

Hey,

thanks for all the comments, i really hope people genune rate it and dont say its good fi they tihnk its shite, i want to know what people really do think of it :D

had another band practise the other day and got through the song really well, the drums are alot better than those on the BR obviously and the solos been cut down alot because theres now vocals as a melody and what not.

i will upload the actual recording as soon as the lyrics are finished.
