Joseph Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 My first real recording. This is a 2am recording, after having just set up an interface with a Mac. I am singing and playing guitar. I picked up my guitar after 20+ years and am singing again. Yes, it's odd, I know. But there it is. I will likely do more, especially in a few voices (harmony). This is a kind of test for me because I really have no clue what I may sound like to the outside world. The last time I did this sort of thing with any regularity was on stage before a couple thousand people in college (students mostly), but it was very long ago and much has changed. The song was done a bit slow deliberately. I wanted to hear everything clearly to see how clean the pres on the new interface are. I am learning about all this ..... the digital music world is a *very* new world to me. Any comments will be gratefully appreciated and I do mean that. Thanks in advance. I am not sure if can add a link here, but if I can, the file is at this link on dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/owkv8k3vlxltsi3/Let%20It%20be%20me.wav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 All I could hear was the guitar intro and the 1.5 words of the lyric before it stopped. I hate to be a demanding little whiny-butt. But, if you could share, it would be nice to hear the whole song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 I apologize for that. I am new to this and think it could be a problem with wav files tending to be large. I will upload an mp3 file and post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bounce Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I thought it was hilarious that you talk about not understanding modern technology and then post a large .wav file! Hahaha, no offense intended! I was struck immediately by how you can actually play the guitar, which is nice to hear since many "singers" can't. It's not so much about technicality, but rather a groove that a musician should easily recognise. As for the singing, I quite enjoy your voice. It sounds to me a lot like a lullaby that my uncle would sing to me, except my uncle can't sing and my age would make that quite odd. I like your tone, even your slightly wavering pitch was kind of endearing, almost as if was planned. I would love to hear you sing songs with a wider pitch range and with more tonal variety. Of course, you can't just start twanging and belting and screaming in a song like this, but I would like to hear you lean in more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
