Hi, this is my first song that I have written and recorded. Here it is:

SKAG - What happens on your Perfect day




Please let me know what you think, your feedback is greatly apreciated.

I have more songs that I have written but I want to wait till I get a bit of a fan base before I record more songs.


Thankyou,

This song is really good. I cant wait to see what you write about next.
Voice is very good, you sound like someone I've heard but I can't quite remember who. Lyrics are good too, and the music is nice and unconventional.

Thanks man, im going to record another song tomorrow night and probably put it on youtube tomorrow night or the next day. Its a totally different genre though more of a hip hop beat where I rap and sing.

Yeah I have done rough recordings of 4-5 songs but been busy with work, uni and everything else. I had my last exam for the degree I have just finished a couple of days ago. The course I just completed was for construction management but starting a new course next year in sound engineering. I should post a few more songs over the next couple of weeks.

I like the song, good first effort but it could have been improved by turning the volume on the vocals up a tad so they came out stronger in the final mix. It sounds cool musically and the lyrics that I can make out are decent but there's parts where they're a bit inaudible because the vocal is buried too far under the music for my ears to pick them up.

Thanks for the feedback. Were you listening to the song on headphones or through speakers, if you don't mind me asking.
thanks

Agree with this, drums are a bit too present and vocals are buried generally.
There's also not a great deal of dynamic & range. Its quite monotonous. Needs some oomph.

Listening on headphones, my partner is also a professional musician, so picked up a bit of an ear.

Not at all bad for a first song.

What software did you use out of curiosity?

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the feedback. The software I used was a program called mixpad but will be using different programs soon because I am going to purchase a mac.

This song is really good especially as a first song. My friends and I listened to the song a few times, it is really catchy and becomes stuck in your head after hearing it a couple of times. Nice lyrics and voice.
