I've never been much of a singer, I'm barely a guitarist, and this is the 3rd song I ever sang outside of the shower, and the 1 that made me consider recording more of my own original material with the lyrics actually attached.
 
This wasn't intended on being a song, but it turned out that way, and there was simply no one else to do vocals. lol
Thanks
 
What You Can Save

Hi Sylent (Mike),
 
That profile picture of yours on your SoundClick page puts the willies up me dood!
 
FWIW, my "singing" is so much worse that yours that it will never be heard without being treated with some heavy vocoder stuff...
 
I didn't mind this at all, and if it were me, I'd consider taking this back into the studio and re-recording. I'm not saying it needs re-recording, but it would be a good piece to turn into a "studio project."
 
cheers

Thanks Andy,
Yes the profile pic was my avatar here for awhile, and it got a few comments lol.
It's actually for a film, and one of the crew suggested I use it as a cover because of it's eerie mysteriousness.
(When I changed avatars I also didn't realize its a self portrait I airbrushed .. and it has a mask that drew comments also lol)
 
Thanks, I too could benefit from some vox-tuning software ... in many layers.
It's just so over done, so I went in my short-pants. lol
 
I have several "live and layered later" tracks I've considered working up, and I think this one would be in the top three just because it was an accident and is simple since I'm not much of a drummer.
And being about a dream it would be easy to do a cool video for also.
 
Thank you for your kind comments... I appreciate it!
 

Sylent,
 
It takes a lot of guts to sing when you don't really want to or like to.  I think you did a pretty good job.  I have to agree with Andy that the song might be a good choice for a studio make over.  The music sounds unprocessed while the vocal sounds processed so the two sounds stuck together and not part of a whole.

Thanks Jim!
 
I actually like singing, I just never thought I had the chops, even if I could muster the guts.
I have tons of material I'd like to do, but always been in bands where I couldn't.
 
Yes, I agree it sounds layered and don't match, and I need to cut some freqs so the vox sits in the mix also.
 
Thank you very much for commenting!
It means a lot!

Very nice song, sylent! I think your singing is fine. Way better than the screeching cat that is my voice in any vain attempt at singing (which is usually confined to my car so no one else can hear that crap). The mix needs some work as the vox are too processed and don't really feel like they fit into the mix properly. Your performances are good and this song was fun. I dig it!

I'd also agree, your singing is not an issue, sounds good particularly for the genre this song belongs to.
 
Others have commented to re-record some parts, and I would agree. My first thought was "Soundclick sure messes with the resolution in the higher frequencies" and maybe that's part of it. The drums sound distant and kind of low resolution, like you played them in a cement basement and recorded them from a single microphone upstairs in the kitchen. You'd probably get more clarity with a re-recording of them. What you are playing sounds pretty great, and fits the song - I wonder if this could be the proper use of the new Sonar's vaunted "Drum Replacer?" I am not a subscription member, but I get the emails.
 
have fun with it, a good start!
 
cheers,
-Tom
