I know both of them aren't Robbie Williams or Avril Lavigne, but yes we can still improve. I've posted the Instruments only track without all the vocals. I will let the two of them decide if they want to redo the vocals or not. Else, its pretty much the final one.
my suggestion to vocals, sing your own way, don't try to sound like One Republic. the music we played is a lot more aggressive than the original, try to follow the mood.
I'm not sure how to improve. Maybe can point out where i sound crappy? D:
And yeah there's definitely some timing issues here and there.
you don't sound so bad, it's just that i think you're a bit shy. there are places where you should just let it out, scream whatever. listen to Robbie Williams or Keith Urban for example, they're both great in expressing the song.
O.O my timing was so obviously off most of the chorus....sorry.... and the part that sound like singing in toilet....maybe my voice dun really fit or...my crappy mic XD
I use SonicGear DM200 mic and Cool Edit Pro to record. I do realise that some of the 'feeling' was lost when I record my covers... coz ppl who heard my singing always said my real voice and recording are so different...i guess i need better equipment.
will re record...this weekend I'm SO FREE~!! XD gonna do all my pending projects.
not really perfect, few mistakes because was in a hurry to record. still haven't record the 4 measures intro. left a blank there. Please experiment it with your own ideas to fill in some grooves.
Cool Stuff! So what do you suggest we do? Key changing is cool, especially at the last 2 chorus. We can do double time on the choruses too. We can change the riffs styles (both drums and guitars) on some parts of the song too.
we try out everything. just throw all ideas in and we shall see what we can pick.
both of my E strings on my guitar gave way... i'll replace them this weekend and put in some riffs. got some ideas.
i think the 4 bars intro will have to sound something acoustic to blend in with the 1st verse if that's what killer wants. something spacey type of melody, y'know something like the start of Don't Wanna Close My Eyes by Aerosmith.
sorry for the long silence. been busy with work lately. i'm gonna be busy for a long time. i will try to lay down some ideas this weekend. hard to come up with rock/metal riff these days as i've been listening to a lot of country... hahaha....
