crappy home recording Love song, wouldn't mind an opinion

[yidneth]

hmmm



well i just did it

so i'm not sure if it sucks ahahha! probably it does LOL

it's very simple both in structure and playing is just me on the keyboard, nothing very sophisticated,

it's a love song, this time i'm working alone and i'm not much into recording without software helpers around LOL, so i'm aware the file doesn't sound very clean

anyway

tomorrow i may regret have posted this and the file may dissapear LOL hahaha so i hope the first ones to be kind LOL i'm not still convinced XD

ya know, just out of the oven, need to know if it's uploadable to ic LOL but wanted an opinion first

(next song is quite fast pop and in spanish LOL, promised) but i felt romantic today

lyrics go like



I imagine I lay quietly in your bed

i see you're sleeping but you cannot sense my gaze

how could you see me invisible as I am?

then I nestle, try to clasp you round the waist

and feel your breathing resting my lips upon your neck

how could you feel it (feel me feel me now) intangible as i am?

but i'm right here, and I'm so brave, I dare to love you, I dare!



I imagine, oh my mind just fly so wild

the words i utter seems to get dry in my mouth

how could you listen inaudible as i am?

are you deaf not to hear my words?

are you blind not to see me around?

are you just heartless? or you're just heartless

but if you're scared dare open your eyes

or if you're slept let me wake you up

you may curse your soul if you deny me

just imagine i'm right here

[MIKE BURN]

Oh! I could imagine, this to be a great ballad with some sort of bombastic arrangement



The way it is right now, it is way too fragile for my taste and needs some serious boost Your vocals are also lovely overall, but here and there not really convincing. You should collect some vocal takes and select the best ones. IMHO



I love the harmonies

[yidneth]

you've been the only one listening to it LOL

well you know when i record at home i make entire takes (four minutes each LOL), i'm not skilled to cut and paste and such things so it's unavoidable it has its ups and downs in the voice, and well the music arrangement is the way i can manage, you know I only play keyboards. I have an additional soft pop bass line I may add, tried with a soft percussion, but i recorded the tracks almost live and i'm not sure it stays in time really for it. It needs some cleansing still, and, dunno, sort of string or dunno, it needs still a body in the background. if ya want to help LOL! (no, hahah rather ask for help in the upcoming "araña pop thing" cos that without a guitar may suck! lOL, so i'm saving my coupons to ask for MIke's help LOL hehehe)

i am just glad you don't dislike it. and thanks for the harmonies things cos I improvised in most of them, lol i only made one recording before and it was completely different lol.

i'm not much in the romantic stuff either LOL!!! wanted to make a love song though LOL

i'll upload it to ic and soundclick as soon as i manage not to make it sound so lofi itself lOL XDD



so far only three person has listened to the file already LOL hahahaha it's taking me a little bit to convince you, anyyyyway )







here's a second preview, Mike if you can tell me if it improved, i just tried to clean and add some harmonies here and there, but well... i'm tired i confess it, and although it's limited both in sounds and arrangements it's what i can do alone, due to my lack of knowing software and how to do it LOL, i hope it sounds better than the other file at least

someone gifts me an antipop please LOL X) I'm very poor, tips are welcome ))



hahahah

[yidneth]

i was posting and couldn't read your message, thanks daniel it really boosted me up, i've reached that point that i need to learn more from my pc, but it's the best i can manage now LOL



)



one of these days i'll save money just to go to record to mike's studio LOL hahaha it was such a delightful experience ), nothing to do with avoiding dogs barking, the drunken men of the pub nearby singing and such things on my little terrace HAHAHAH

[ED1G]

I am listening now Pris..... Very beautiful..... I can see you behind a very big grand piano with a very big stage and band behind you

I quit after 5.45mg this time.., how large is this file Prisilla???

[yidneth]

dunno

it's about 4 Mbs or so



i'm still on cleaning it

i didn't want to upload it till levelling the vocals and try to make it a little bit neater,

i managed better in willow's and nymph on my own, i mean, but i'm not very skilled at pc anyway and it seems in this new terrace there's more ambiental noise

[ilikepie2]

yow, that's pretty! very nice keyboard and strings sounds and the singing is just lovely. very nice! my only suggestion is there is a second sort of answering vocal in there sometimes and it seems way too far back inthe mix, almost completely buried. bring that out!



it's 6.59 MB by the way.
