Your rhythm guitar track sounds a quarter-note early, or your pick-up note is early, something is off with the guitar and drums for sure. I'd sort that out before you look for vocals.
This will sound pretty good then!! The guitar solo at the end sounds like it was done in the right time, though very impromptu. Still some good soloing there.
0:34 guitar tone is sweet as hell! Really caught my attention. Kinda too high in the mix at times but awesome none the less! Great soaring tone for leads and solos. Mic'd of amp software?
I like the strings and acoustic combo in the beginning. Very neat rhythms afterward. Pulsing and deadly. Good bass tone. Some very twisted spoken word stuff. Organ is pretty tastefully done here. Good organ sound. That stomping percussion is nice.
Guitar solo is raw and very fitting. great.
Synth soloing lead to follow is awesome and funky with some emotion put in.
There is a forum thread for this kind of track. This was a great listen!
wow Evan, than you so much for your kind words, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and feedback, I dod all kind of music but this track is really more my personality, thank you again.
Every track of yours has a totally creepy vibe that come 100 percent from your vocals. Very "I keep people in my basement" kind of vibe. I'd like to hang out with you, but not at your house.
I've just barely got "Your Cat Yeah" out of my head and now I have this one! This will keep my mind busy at work.
You've had a fan in me for a while now. Take care.

Some pretty heavy feels in here. Good breaks and frantic kick drum moments. Did you record any of this or is it loop and Midi?
Either way, it is a pretty sweet creation. The feedback gets old around half way through, but damn, that's some good sounding guitar feedback with delay. I'd run it into the ground too!
Great sense of rhythm and changes. Bass at around 4:00 is too much and overrides , but I like everything you've got here.
Hi Evan, good to hear from you! So the underwater sound happens when I change the speed and tone. I cant change the speed without changing the tone or else it sounds really funky. What can I say, its a freeware program. Ill go pro. one of these days :). I still use a Vox preamp overdrive thing that plugs directly into my guitar. Instead of earphones I run it into my computer. If u were to see my current setup in its entirety you would probly either laugh or cry.... its a mess. I recommend a metalzone overdrive pedal though my friend. Peace.
Now, you just need to bring in some tuba doing some low foreboding droning, with a thin and tiny sounding chant produced by pagan grasshoppers gathered fireside for the solstice.
Definitely think "Ewok Village at night".
Pursue it, and make it a gathering of tiny friendly creatures who are celebrating nature together.
Track is not bad. I saw bassist and thought I'd give your music a try. Thought there would be some bass guitar recorded or something. Do you have any real instrument music? Saw you play bass and more. Would love to hear some since Looperman.com is pretty poor when it comes to musicians, mostly producers and arrangers.
Sorry, I'm not the best to critique electronic music. What you have sounds pretty good though!
Thank you! And i am a bassist, and i would upload a track of me playing bass but i feel like it wouldn't get too looked into. i dont have a real recorder, funds are low and the audio would be poopy. but i guess i could do that :)
Thanks Evan. You have great input. Have you ever made hip hop or rap beats? Its the same stuff over and over. When its sung or rapped over, we use the voice of the artist to change the pace, but keeping a base note throughout.
Also, what about my contest is shady? When I asked you to ask me questions about that post through PM, that was for a reason. Instead I have your idiot response on my post, taking up space for people who want to partake by posting their tracks.
The falsetto thing is mostly you not projecting your voice. Power should be coming from the diaphragm. It sounds like it's coming from your throat.
The pitch thing is just, it doesn't sound like you wrote "notes" to sing in parts. It seems kinda "fast and loose" right now. Like I said, I know this is in the early stages so I shouldn't judge it like it was finished.
I do like where you're going with this. Maybe there's pointers on projecting your voice and whatnot online.
Evisma:
I understand what your saying now. I am still working on projection, sometimes ill do it correctly, other times not. I appreciate all your input. Glad you enjoy where this is going, and i hope when its all done you can come back with even more great feedback. Take care :)

Moments reminiscent of "Mindless Self-Indulgence".
You sing in a low falsetto sometimes, like a loud whisper. Odd. Pitch seems kinda hard to pin down. Seems like you spent time on the lyrics, but not the delivery. I know you'll make it better and that this is in it's early form.
Hey Evisma, good to hear from you again. i definitely had some fun with the lyrics and i agree that the delivery can be better in some areas. Also, is the odd whisper falsetto a good thing? Cuz sometimes it just happens. And when you say the pitch seems kinda hard to pin down do you mean for you? Or for me to sing?
Anyways, Thanks for stopping by :)

Everyone has said it already. This is an awesome track.
All I would like to add is the kick-drum seems a bit fake and out of place in the track. I like how strong it is, it just sounds too muffled. I truly dig all the rest!
Thanks a lot for the comment
this track was my first project on FL studio 10 so i was less knowledge about its abilities
by time i become better (i hope)
Glad to hear notices about my work it support me to improve it
I like what you have recorded, the song anyway. I liked the music and the singing. But there must be something on your interface or recording software or hardware the shows you when you are clipping(maxing out the input).
This will be awesome once it's re-recorded, because you have a really good song here, but right now it's kinda hard to listen to.
This is the best thing I've heard on this site in a while! I was speaking to another member of this site a few months ago about a track with splashy, watery sounds.
You have some very awesome textures going on here. The first minute has some great interplay with the delay, awesome. Your lead line at 2:20 sounds like something I would do.
Drums are pretty heavy for a majority of the first half, then disappear at 2:46 for more oceanic bard serenading.
4:42 solo tone is very tasty, though not the best guitar line in the song.
Ending acoustic stuff is not bad at all, seems to have the same delay treatment as earlier guitar lines, mostly on the left.
I really dig this track, and I wonder why nobody has even given a "nice track" comment to it. This one was very refreshing.
I think a big part of that would be to put more emotion in your vocals. You sing like there is someone in the next room and you don't want them to hear you. Like you're being quiet.
It also sounded like your first vocal line kind of ascends, but the root notes of the piano do not. The word "Are" seems to go up, when it sounds like it shouldn't based on the piano. Same for each starting line of the stanzas.
What I think this track needs is some orchestral strings. Lots. That is what I was hearing more than guitars. The vocals never get hard or even very excited to be there. You have a good lyrical idea, the delivery is just lackadaisical.
"Please excuse the piano in the chorus"
I thought that part sounded good. A tone and key change.
That's just how I sing, I'm afraid. I feel like there's some kind of miscommunication about what it is you think I want for this song. The thing that drew me to the original piano loop was the certain degree of dissonance. The song itself is about dissonance in a world that doesn't understand. I just have a really solid idea in my head about the direction this needs to go, but thank you for your feedback.

The intro reminds me of the organ music for a late night horror from the 40's.
You've got some pretty big reverb going on in places.
2:12 is the start of something pretty badass, then cuts off. I like what you had going there!
Did you say the underwater drum sound comes from slowing down a faster drum loop?
What distortion pedals do you use? Looking for something that will give a lot of options.
Hope all is well with you. Been a while, it seems.
Take care.

on What Is Beauty by Ranmann45
Your track has a nice, building quality to it. Simple melodies remind me of the kind of stuff I do.
Vocals sound good. A bit mumbling, but after a bit I get used to them and all is good.
The moments of backing tracks and lead lines are the highlights. Good sound quality.
Reminds me of a Puscifer song "Mission" at times, especially the vocals.
I seem to dig all that I've heard from you. Good stuff.

The beat and strings were good, and there were several good quick melodic runs, but there was no key change in almost 3 minutes.
I like what you made here, it just needed a change after about a minute and a half.

Drumming is probably the highlight for me here. Guitar is good. Some parts predictable, some just bad ass!
The whole lead up to 4:00 was pretty sweet, not to mention the following solo that is very fitting.
I would have screwed this track up by over layering it. Just when I think you're going to, you break off into so Liquid Tension Experiment type stuff.
I do dig.
