thx for all the suggestions and advise.

i m guess i shd try sending my song to some record companies first.
wondering if they will listen to my song and give some comment, any comment
even some mean criricism will mean a lot to me

i kind of completed the song yesterday, though i m sure it can b greatly improve by a professional or someone with more experience.
i know i m bias and self-indulging, but i really like the song

now my problems r:
1) what hardware n software shd i use to record my song?
2) what r the companies out there that i shd send to? any suggestions?

I think you mean a label or some company who will market you.

For you to send to a those type of company or whatever, make sure you do a proper recording of it. They're not for reviews or comments. They're there to listen, if they like, they sign you. I heard stories of they listen 2 secs not proper recording, they don't bother to continue listening.

For recording how to: http://soft.com.sg/forum/how-sound/38326-diy-recording-faq.html blueprintstudios has made an excellent thread.

If really don't know how, go to some recording companies to do a record. blueprintstudios also does recording.
