"Cool" by Krasi :)

[Krasi]

Well, after some long busy days at work I finally got the time to finish a song:)
I also listened to some of the new songs uploaded here - there is soo much going on and I will have to catch up. Hope to have a lot more free time to have fun with my MBR as I barely touched it since I bought it couple of months ago...

If you've barely touched your mbr, I'm really looking forward to the time when you embrace it, 'cause this is REALLY Cooooooool !!!!

Great song, great voice, great arrangement, great playing  !!!

Love that bass !

Man you have a great voice !!

More please !!!

Yes you are and this song is too cool. I also love the arrangement and you deliver your vocals with the coolness/cockiness of David Bowie.
Well Done..
Keep it up...

great 1st post, cant wait to hear some more stuff from you.

This sounds really good to me.
The only thing I would change, is I would bring up the vox...
I can't hear your vox well, as it is a little buried in the mix.
This is an awesome 1st post!

Very good first song Krasi although I would agree you should bring the vocals up in the mix a tad to help with the clarity. 

I even like the bits of string noise.

Great playing and songwriting!!!

Thanks for the nice coments. I knew my biggest problem was the vocal but tried different things and it never felt right to me. Im not sure where is the problem but it always feels very thin and it doesnt sit well in the mix. I always wonder what is the best way to record vocals and maybe you all could help with hints and tricks. I really would like to learn how could I improve the quality of my recordings.
Just a question: I was thinking to buy one of those little stereo mics - would that help?

Excellent song - I love it. Great playing and killer songwriting!

I think the vox are great, and if you feel you can't get them to sit right in the mix a little compression and some cut on the low end would help a lot. They don't sound thin to me - I think its more not being able boost the levels because the bass frequencies would cause clipping (I've been there, bro. Also, read AndyR's posts. Especially where he gives advice on recording vocals and guitar).

Just had another listen - I really like this song a lot!

Peace,

Mark


Edit:


I wouldn't worry about buying an external mic just yet. The onboard mic is very good once you get to know it. OldRottenHead, Geir, Greeny and others are having great results with it. And recording two tracks and panning them works a lot better than recording in stereo anyway, IMHO.
