My band has a new recording up. It's just a demo, and the bass sounds a little weak...but I can't really complain.

Let me know what you think! =]

The song is good. I'm not a fan of the super-compressed guitars, but I guess its consistent with the standards of the genre. Is that auto-tune I hear toward the beginning?

Yes

Yeah, the guitar sound isn't for everyone. And we did use auto-tune towards the beginning to change it up a little.

I like it a lot, I could really tell where you used autotune though

I like the songs pretty well, but I don't care for the production. Key sounds are odd, piano would have been better maybe, guitars are very compressed, didn't love the autotune, mix was a bit muddy and flat. But you all have some talent, so keep at it !

If you ever happen to do a remix, I would ditch the auto-tune. Sure, the T-Pain thing hasn't really been applied to rock music, but it should still be avoided. Its on its way out, big time. Its so overused, its going to be regarded as a joke soon.

Or, if you were trying to use it the way it was intended, to fix the singers voice, definitely take it out. The vocal part is subtle, but the auto-tine itself is very obvious.

But, once again, good song otherwise. I also like the use of the piano.

It was pretty good. I like it.
Where in LA are you from?

I just moved to the San Gabriel Valley and looking for local music, shows, bands looking for bassists. Haha.

Thank you! This is just a demo. We are going to re-record the songs at a real studio in a few months.

Yeah the vocalist wanted to put it in there for the T-pain feel. But I'll talk to them about maybe getting rid of that when we re-record it. Thank you so much for the feedback!
