Default Re: My first Ever Recording -Bash ON!

Yes, nice song Nick. And a good effort if that's your first attempt at recording.
You need to think about what to do with the guitars. You need to make sure that they don't get in the way of the vocals. There are two basic (recording/mixing) techniques for doing this - turn them down / play more quietly during singing AND/OR use a guitar sound that don't include much of the same frequencies as the voice. You could also change the arrangement - seeing as its your song you have that option.

Here's some more comments - take or leave...

Bass is tentative / out of time at times / could use some help with a compressor? / Is that a guitarist playing a bass he's not used to?

Drums sound nice - perhaps too clean?

At 2:52 to 3:10 you lose the plot and everything ends up on one side of the room, just like some giant has tipped it there.

Nice bass run at 3:25

Get rid of first 20 seconds

"Chase the fade" at the end - can you do that in digital?

There you go,
