American Baby *full band*

Post by SockCymbal »

Ok, so just me isn't a full band, but all the instruments comprise a full band.
Very easy song, the only thing that needs to be really considered is timing...

Pretty good, add lyrics and you'll have a good cover. I like the solo over the chorus, gives it like a latin feel.

Awesome, but it sounds real hollow. Try using different tones for the guitar/violin. the drums are awful harsh too. but it was nice and solid.

i agree, it does sound really hollow. I'm using pretty shitty equipment now.

what do you mean the drums sound harsh? too loud? snare too high? what?

that was so good I listened to it 3 times

That would be an awsome, awsome cover if you did the whole song with vocals.

the drums were too loud, the snare especially. otherwise very good, i agree with kahn about the solo adding a latin flavor, really cool.
