Been away at Uni for a while, but finally got back to my studio to start recording some of the stuff I wrote while missing lectures!

I even managed to get my 17 yr old sister helping with the vocals (definately worth it). Its caled 'Stay'. Its in my profile (I don't know how to put one of those round buttons here I'm afraid!)

A bit rough around the edges but have a listen and let me know what you think. All criticism welcome!

Cheers folks

Holy Toledo... your sister's got some pipes!!

I like this song alot. I just wish it was louder. I'll put a some amature mastering on it when you're done with it if you want. Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested :)

Well done n1ck! Vocals sound great. I love the harmonies. The only thing I noticed is the volume of the track needs some levelling or possibly some compression to even it out a bit. I had to crank it quite a bit. I like the dynamic range but it was a bit too drastic. It seems like you have some headroom to work with so maybe some track automation might take care of it. Well done though, comes across as if it was sung from the heart.

damn, nice voice and pretty guitar sound, but yeah, it needs a bit of maximization.

Harmonies get a bit funky at times, but feels very authentic.

Nice work.

Just tried expanding it a bit, and you can here the damn metronome in the guitar part! Think I'm gonna have to re-do the guitar!

Wow, what a nice tune indeed! And I must agree your sister has a killer voice for sure. Very nice capture on the guitar, bright and clean. I must agree that it can use some maximizing to bring it up. I as well had to crank it way up.

Wonderful song for sure.

Let's go sailing....

Ya, that is correct. But you can't link to songs loaded here at HRC as they are set to use the player here.
