Instrumental track - demo

[billthegeek]

This is my first attempt at DIY home recording and here's the result:
Chen on purevolume™

It was a tedious job, esp since I had no one to consult when it comes to recording. Had to re-record many times till I almost gave up.

As for the song, itself, I've no idea whether it is good or not. I dunno how it will sound to someone listening to it for the first time, cos I myself have listened to this song countless times while recording it.

All right, now I gotta go offline to study for my prelims!! I'll be glad to hear some constructive comments. Thanks.

dude nicely done.
if your saying this is your first time, then you should do more.

i like your tone.
its so lively, reverbrating, ambienced....

it says there your using Zoom G2?

what effects do you have on?

4 thumbs up, (including those on my feet.)

 

[billthegeek]

thanks for the compliment bro! I was afraid pple will find the song too slow, long & boring..


I used zoom G2 effects patches from this site: .: - GUITAR PATCHES - :.

lead guitar is this Pat Metheny sound-alike patch (i modified it a bit) :
.: - GUITAR PATCHES - :. My guitar tone knob was at around 1/2.

I forgot what effects i used for rhythm guitar. :???:

Drums added. I realised that composing suitable drum tracks aren't as easy as I thought... constructive crit would be appreciated!

 

[Aki S. Ian]

i was never good with drums so no comments here

 

[billthegeek]

I did editing with the mixer... Shifted the lead guitar to the left speaker, and the rhythm guitar and drums to the right speaker.

I also redo the whole drums for the song.

Let me know your opinions! Thx. Also, can anyone recommend me bands or songs which sound like mine (so I can hear how like their drums and production sounds like)?

For a first attempt, that was pretty cool.
Love how the gtrs create an ambience/mood at the start.

Agree w/Aki....
'there are others out there like you.

Keep at it. You're on the right track.
