This is an Original song with the basic tracks recorded by me in the home studio using very basic equipment at far as ITB or OTB goes. I will be adding vocals and other instruments to the song but this would be a great time to get some specific feedback on both what you hear and what you don't hear while the track is relatively free of clutter.
Each instrument track is a single live take, with some minor punch in/outs - (maybe 3 or 4 instances). I have left a couple of small "flubs" in the mix at this stage as I'm was going for overall performance and continuity.
Any feedback would be welcome. As the vocals get added the arrangement will become "fuller" but right now I'm still reworking lyrics so the song doesn't sound like it was written by a 13 year old girl.
Soundcloud and Dropbox included
As an aside: I wanted to record using my Boogie for the guitars - Dialed in a great sound in the room but I just couldn't capture it using my SM57 -- I will do a lot more experimenting with this (particularly when I get a reamp box) as the workflow is quite cumbersome and I may opt to do some blending with additional mics.
Recording using Reaper through my M-Audio Profire 610 what you are hearing is the following:
Drums:Superior Drummer w/ very little tweaking - some loops and some hand programmed parts
Rhy Guitar (Electric): Fender Lead II through the interface using Guitar Rig 5 pro
Lead Gutar track (Electric): Fender Lead II as above
Lead G Solo: As above
Bass: Fender P Bass through Guitar Rig 5 Pro
Acoustic: Two Acoustic tracks (blended) using different guitars (Yamaha) both recorded in stereo with a pair of RODE M5 mics - one DI and the other with some slight chorus through Guitar Rig 5 pro
