Why have both of my threads been basically ignored?

[Happy_Squirrel]

Very cool. I really enjoyed listening to this song. Excellent musicianship and I really liked the frenetic pace.

I wouldn't take a lack of replies personally. It's pretty typical on here. Lots of people like to post their music, but few bother to critique anyone else's.

Also, your band name kicks ***. :naughty:

I dont like the guitar sound at all (Very fuzzy) Otherwise seems alright. I think its got the effect who want though.

[notjester589]

Well the guitar tone is pretty bad. I like to call it 30 dollar grunge pedal directly into recorder. I was debating if the song should be faster but it already clicks in at about 1:50. I don't think it should be any shorter. I would like to know if you think I could stretch by throwing in a verse/chorus 2 times with more lyrics. Also what did you think of the vocals? I'm quite unsure of my voice so I need to know if i should pursue singing lead

[Surgicalgod]

Yeah...guitar tone is bad. And about your voice...I guess the song would sound better if it was higher than the guitar (in volume). You're doin fine vocally for your songs (dunno about any others).

[Laetus]

I could hear the drums and everything else was pushed way way way into the background.. And yep, like the others.. I hated the guitartone. :x

I am notorious for bad guitar tones. Is there any kind of suggestion for recording the guitar. I have a bandit 112 amp and of course a notorious grunge pedal. I have a condenser mic and sm57 and some cheap wal mart mics until i can buy some better. I know the vocals have to come up. I'll work on an alt version and post it up when I get the chance. Any more feedback will be greatly appreciated.

[Clayman555]

despite the fuzzy guitar tone...i can tell this track is pretty good. My only other complaints ....besides the recording...is that maybe the song it a bit to short.

P.S. Ive commented just about every thread in sight an yet my thread remains critiqueless.... Please critique my band... scars of your demise

My question is do you think running through the riff a few more times would be good enough for length and just throwing in some new lyrics or do I need to come up with some extra riffs for it?

When the one guitar does that one downstroke (while the other one doing a riff) you could play a part of the riff but in a higher key or whatever. Just a suggestion. I liked it, even though it wasn't mixed perfectly. The vocal pattern is cool.

[notjester589]

not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean have a second guitar mirror the riff one octave up?

[notjester589]

So should I just run through the riff a few more times or should I come up with some more riffs to match? I do need to make it longer

[notjester589]

Going to rerecord some of my older tunes so I'm asking for some crits on older posts before I put any more time into the new versions. Any new points of view for "Trip"?
