heymisterk Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It wasn't easy, but here it is. I covered the Foo Fighters' "Tired of You". The first few seconds sound like a beginner playing, but it gets better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Good job Jeff. As you said, a little rough at the start but it does get better. My first digital recorder was a DP004. It's great for starting out. Soon you will probably out grow it though and want a 8 or 16. I did. I have posted several original songs on here, and I know how anxious one can feel when doing it. So I just want to say congratulations on recording your first song posting and it here. It takes some guts. Oh, and I liked your vocals. I didn't here too much of "off-key" Jeff. lol Do you write any of your own stuff? Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am going to post a recording of a song I wrote years ago. Again, thanks for the encouragement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Allen Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like it quite a lot. I haven't done any home recording and am eager to get some software and begin. Listening to all the forum guys post their recordings inspires me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Enjoyed that. thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Mmmm...In listening to it, I really sound like a beginner. But it was as much an exercise in recording, downloading, and posting as much as anything. Better next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 That sounds really good, very clear sound/tone. Recording is tricky, very soon you will get a hang on what adjustments you need to make to make it sound like you hear it in your head, The first short clip I recorded sounded great to me, woody yet aggressive tone with a nice attack, I posted it here then listened to it and I was surprised how diferent it sounded both sound and execution, it was terrible.

RaysEpiphone Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think you need better mic's or you need to try a different room/placement. But, that's how you learn, just get in there and make some crappy recording's and figure out what works best for what your recording. Try here recording.org or here gearsluts if you really are interested in recording. Don't make any post first just read some of whats already there... Be a true "Fly on the Wall" for a bit, then organize your question(s) (if you still have some). Gearslut's is more for the high end recording guru's and they get joy from flaming people who post random or dumb (to them) sounding thing's.

heymisterk Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 The hardest part was getting a good sound from - and playing - the rhythm guitar. I was trying to make it sound like the recording, and it kind of is like the recording, except I found that it quite difficult to maintain that exact thump-thump-thump-thump rhythm all through the song. I actually did use a good mic - a Shure - but obviously am still trying to get it right. Practice and experimentation will get me where I need to be. Thanks to all!
