Very pretty song. The vocals are great, but seem a bit heavy on the reverb on the male voice. It sounds like you recorded it in a huge room, standing on one side with the mic on the other. The guitar is perfect; I particularly like the picking part at ~1:30.
What are you looking to do with the bass? I imagine a very subtle strings coming in at a build toward the end, but that's just me.
i think it's a little too much too. but it's very difficult to tell through my headset. i need reference monitors i think. and yeah something really subtle like that ...maybe with a cello?
First, I love this melancholic folk rock song.Then,the instruments really sound great especially the guitar.What did you use to make the vocals sound like this?

thanks for reviewing...guitar was old 12string mic'd up.. with doubler effect from waves bundle.
The vocals were my girlfriend jen...she had 4 seperate tracks on it. and we screwed around with the levels.. glad you enjoyed it.
Wow.. finally i heard the song....great job...that guitar sounds real nice and youve got nice vocals too..somr hicks like others have mentionned...
overall great song..well put together...
Im a looperman musician ..I just take beat loops and add my instruments and sing my compos...check me out...
welcome to looperman...youll love it...peace Dvibe
Im glad that you finally got a chance to listen to it...im glad that it plays ok now....i was gonna give up on it...pheww!!
Im gonna be listening to more of your stuff.
thanks again
a good chord progression, nice vocals, with good changes! i can see where your coming from with this track. Only 1 problem- the bitrate! It sounds distorted beacuse you need to change the bitrate to over 160 kb! so just convert it to a higher bitrate and you should be fine!
thanks for stoppin in. i had already increased the bitrate over 160. and changed it to best quality vbr. and it was still causing me problems. This latest upload i converted to mp3 from cd format. so i hope it works. cause if it doesn't im gonna have to leave this one alone for a while.
thanks again
...BRILLIANT!...AND THE SONG ,I'VE ALWAYS LOVED.THE COMBINATION IS WORTHY OF AN AWARD.STEP ASIDE COLDPLAY,HERE COMES JENSTONIC...WOW!THIS IS ONE BAND I'LL BE WATCHING..CLOSELY..
thanks for the review, were glad you enjoyed it. Actually were surprised it was audible, since weve been having reports of it not playing properly on looperman. thanks again, work in progress.
Dont know if othors were able to hear your song...it skips alot...you just commented on one of my songs...wanted to hear yours...get back to me..peace Dvibe
thanks for listening. were gonna get around to doing a little more with it and im not sure why it doesn't play that well off the site. maybe i should download it under a different format.
but thanks again. i wish i had even half of your talent with the guitar. :)

For some reason your track didn't play 100 % right. (a bit like when the old casette used to slip) and I got a slight tremolo effect. I did mange to hear what you have put together and I think this is a big step in the right direction. For me, the song has to grab you and thats what your song does. Catchy addictive lyrics and tune. more !!!
i agree with neil.good job,judt an idea,maybe use reverb on your vocals,and may be verse and chorus the songs ,on the instruments,.However saying that,i loved it.as a first recording its fantastic.Keep going,and a a big WELL DONE,good work,peace and much respect,kj,tribal crew...
you asked for it so here it is. first recording nice job. your singing, lyrical content, playing and compsition are great.
you have a few technical hickups but who doesn't for your first recording this is great!
you should do some reading on vocal recording. how to use the mic properly for solid levels. also read up on mixing and eq this song doesn't need any bass that could be taken care of with some eq on the guitar and your final mix. if i were to do anything different would be a hook or solo with that 6 string guitar of yours. nice work and welcome to looperville!

Thanks for the review, Im gonna look on line for some more advice on vocal recording and eq'ing. Too far seems too distant and too close it clips.
Thanks i will check things out.
