New recordings - need feedback!

[Jazzman23]

Hey all,

In keeping with what I always do when my band records some new stuff - I'd like to hear some input from you ladies and gents! Always great to get some feedback from other musicians.

We're looking for a singer right now, and so the three of us did some rough home recordings in an attempt to attract potential bandmates. Strictly utility, no where near finished songs. Although I like how raw these tracks are.

Anyway -- www.myspace.com/samplesdave -- constructive criticism and hateful discouragement always welcome

Thanks a bunch!

PS. For those that want to know -- I run a Godin Freeway 4 with insanely old strings through a Hartke 3500 / Ampeg 2x10. We recorded this on my drummer's MACBOOK, strategically placed. Sounds pretty good considering.

If anyone has any cool ideas regarding recording at home, please do share them as well

pretty good, bro. home recording is just plain difficult for a band, especially if you have a drummer. that's why a lot of folks use studios. but you did pretty good and you play very well. just keep it up and keep trying to improve.

Yea, I like it too. Nice dynamics!

If you don't want to spend a bunch on home studio equipment, the Zoom H2 is a good recorder you can get for about $150. I've got one and love it.

Cool, thanks a lot boys. I'm really surprised we were able to get any decent sound at all from the macbook mic!
