Timing issues with the lead synth and drums?

FlyingCircus

I agree with El Pr0n sound really out...did you used an audio drum loop or midi?

Also the vox is a bit out....all in all it's not bad you need to fix those timing issue which software you use?

Well the 'issue' is irregular, so I'd guess it's a live drummer/keys player...

My only advise is that you need thicker skin.

The internerd makes the holocaust look like a long queue at the bank... and its not as bad as real people being jerks to yer face.

I know it was for fun, but this forum isn't full of jerks, just people that are honest and often blunt.

Fun is fun, but don't be offended or hurt when people do what you ask!

how do you know none of us are professionals.
what do you class as pro?
having releases on record labels?
there a quite a few on here who have releases.

people thought that your song was bad.suck it up and get over it.
if you want unwavering praise show the track to your mam and she'll tell you how great you are

if you want to improve and get honest opinions learn to take criticism

I think the timing is crazy weak at points, but hey I'm glad you're playing music, even if I don't particularity think this is great.

I mean, how did you record it?

On a four-track?

The real issue is the timing... and that's a noticeable thing to most people...

fix that and people would think it was an ok cover I'd bet.

Chris2me

yeah i have no idea what a four track is :P
i used garage band .....i didnt even add the drums like it was my friend :P

Omg the other guy, like calm down, no-ones going crazy here except you. Seriously take a chill pill. you shouldn't be gettin all worked up over my song.

I never realised that Kerry people over use the word "like" just like Cork people, like?

Had a listen to your track.
The lads are right, it's all over the place to be point of being un-listenable.
Even William Shatner-esque novelty covers need to be in time I'm afraid.

Chris2me

unlistenable really?

well, thats perfectly fine, you said it very nice and i accept ur opinion.
thanks lad! Ur in the minority with ur mannors!

keep plugging away Chris, try doing doing something of your own.

Believe it or not, the lads here are trying to point you in the right direction.

If you are honest with yourself you'll see that what they said was correct about the song and timing etc.

All the best.

no im not mad,its just this comment that you threw out because we didnt like your version of a song.

you decided to rubbish peoples opinions because"were not pro" without knowing wh your dealing with

if you come on hear asking for opinions dont respond with a snide little dig like that because we dont think your track is as awesome as you do.

ive posted plenty of ****e songs in the past but ive never asked for opinions and then criticized people for giving them like you have

ludwit

@Chris2Me :From the comments that I've read on this forum over the last few months the lads seem to give good constructive criticism and don't say stuff that could dent confidence, its a music production forum and if you wan't to get better at making your music sound better then you came to the right place, the stickys are very informative and you get some insight into the process.

I do too, im sick of ours :P

cant just throw something up and expect 100% rave reviews

ours is at most 70% there but it is live.... in a studio you should be no less than 100%

PaulBrewer

What were you expecting people to say Chris ?

Why did you put this up for criticism in the first place ?

ryandh

I consider myself a professional, and that is quite simply the finest piece of music I have ever heard through out my career.
Keep it up.

Is this the OP (chris2me) of the thread?? I just ask because you joined today, and you only have one post...

@chris2me: Hi man whats up? I dont have any real experience at recording,
but I have done recordings in studio plenty of times!

Its a pity about the timing in the song, it really makes it a lot less pleasurable to listen to. Especially the drums!

seannash

think he was being sarcastic when he said it was the finest piece of music he had heard

my vote for the worst band to have somehow made it into mainstream conciousness:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN9UT2zF8c8

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shaggs

The band is primarily notable today for their perceived ineptitude at playing conventional rock music; the band was described in one Rolling Stone article as "...sounding like lobotomized Trapp Family singers." As the obscure LP achieved recognition among collectors, the band was praised for their raw, intuitive composition style and lyrical honesty. Philosophy of the World was lauded as a work of art brut, and was later reissued, followed by a compilation album, Shaggs' Own Thing, in 1982. The Shaggs are now seen as a groundbreaking outsider music group, receiving praise from mainstream artists such as Kurt Cobain and Frank Zappa.

God i actually liked that shaggs tune
