Seek Up Cover - What Do You Think?

Post by BlueWaters »

I saw the other post for Seek Up and realized I should give it a shot myself. Check it out:

Seek Up

I would appreciate the criticism...

Thanks Nugs and Haiku for the comments and confidence. I could use some good criticism though, I know I'm not perfect. More comments are always good though, he he he...

I only have a few pieces of advice:

Put a pop-filter on your mic unless your using a computer mic which it sounds like your are.

The vocals were a little rough at spots but I was very impressed overall. I think you could have had a bit more presence though. Not louder but more brilliant especially in your chest voice. Dave has a tendancy to keep the sound pushed up towards his head and that's what it sounds like your doing.

The guitar was spot on but it needed more low end. Once again if your using a computer/shitty mic there's nothing you can do.

Well done and keep posting.

wow, great cover...if I had one criticism it would be that sometimes the second guitar covered up the main rhythm part in the chorus, but maybe thats what you were going for. nice singing.

I was only playing with one guitar... is the rhythm supposed to be played through the chorus? I didn't think so. Thanks for the interest though, I got another one on its way...

Wow, very nicely done. My only comment is that when it first started I said to myself, "Self, that's too slow" but I warmed to the speed really quickly. Great job.

Thanks for all the responses guys... at first I thought no one cared, but I'm feeling more confident now in posting some more. I'll definitely be working on all the comments for my next recording/post... peace
