Agreed with 2-D, I can't understand 90% of what you were saying. Work on your enunciation and learn how to use compression if your vocals are either overpowering your mix or too quiet, because right now it's a little bit of each in certain spots.

It's not bad, you have a pretty good sense of rhythm, and the backing track was done well enough.

thanks. still working on getting compression down. kind of new to the whole recording thing :\

loved the beat
and if i didn't have the lyrics, i'd be lost, kind of like everyone else

but yeah great stuff man
by the way, weren't you supposed to be rapping in front of your whole school a long time ago? i'm still waiting for that video :|

they never gave me the video

Well just for reference I don't use compression and it's pretty much what 99% of trance artists rely on, you can go without it, but the mixing needs more work. Or if nothing else you might want to invest in a better quality mic.

yeah its probably the mic more than anything. its pretty cheap, i think it between $30 and $50. i only got it back when i used to animate and wanted to record some dialogue so now i'm just getting by on this one until i get a job. either that or until i sell all my rock (nah not really)

oh and i'm using a used fabric softener sheet as a pop filter :\

Oh actually, I just now saw the comment about recording in a car because you thought the quality would be better.. ah, I wouldn't suggest that. I don't know a lot about recording but I'd think the very small amount of space in a car would have terrible acoustics, regardless of the lack of feedback. Feedback can be edited out but I imagine any reverberation in the car would repeat back into the mic rather quickly, making the recording sound muddy which is what it sounds like now.

I could be entirely wrong, but I imagine that's how things would play out.. Even a room that has no acoustic treatment would most likely be better than such a cramped space.

yeah i thought a car would work out because i know of a producer who uses a small walk-in closet with some soundproof foam on the door, but then again i guess that foam is the difference. i'm still thinking its the mic more than anything since it's probably a slightly better quality one than poutine salad uses and he gets a similar result in quality

Damn, some of those lines were really good. Make more mang

You got some lyrical skills, need to have the track quieter or the vocals louder though.

Couldn't step to your boy mantis in a battle, though.

dang, if I could download this, I'd play it at work...it's pretty awesoem
