Re: making a demo of my band, need advice

thanks! That intro's not going to be in the final product, it was just to get the feel for the song.

Recording vocals on Sunday, getting nervous!

Re: making a demo of my band, need advice

I checked my settings, and it looks like my MP3 export was set on 128, but I'm recording and working much higher than that

Re: making a demo of my band, need advice

The demo is mainly for syncing up with a video on youtube, but i'll look into my settings before we record vocals. I swear I though I was on 256, maybe converting to mp3 is dumbing it down. I'm editing in wav files, and only converting to mp3 for posting stuff here

If that's the song that it sticks out the most on, I know I can get him to record it with a different amp. Honestly I think that song ut the only one you can hear it on ...
