Production critiques wanted....please?
For a long time now I've been wanting to start a recording studio business for singer-songwriters or duos.
I believe I have all the tools I need to do this, but I'm still feeling unsure as to my abilities.
Even though I've improved my techniques greatly over the years, I question whether I'm at the professional level of charging for my services.
So I dipped my toe into the waters and worked with a few local singer-songwriters to see if I could get decent results from what they bring me. This song was written and performed by a young woman, who came to my home studio and recorded one lead vocal track and a piano part. I added in harmony vocals (using Melodyne from her lead vox), drums, bass, lead guitar, additional piano, and strings.
Perhaps this isn't the best example to give, I think I could've spent more time on it, but I feel it's in the ballpark.
If you listen to other songs on my SoundClick page (one's I wrote and performed myself), you can ignore my own less-that-perfect vocal abilities and just listen to the song construction and production.
I'm preparing to launch a local advertising campaign and want to get my small studio into full swing. But as I do, there still remains some self doubt. So I come here to people I trust to give me honest, helpful comments, to either tell me I'm ready or that I need more time to learn the craft.
So anyway here is "Feel Like Crying" written by Jeanne Malinosky. It's a slow, alt-indie type of song...maybe a ballad.
