Rock/Pop – very first piece

[DerPapa]

I upgraded now to full ezdrummer and I’m pretty blown away. I actually have a drummer now, in my one man band 🙂

I want to share my very first project. So far, it’s instrumental only and not very well arranged. Basicly it’s a good old pop/rock verse,bridge,chorus thingy.
I’m not a studio musician. You will hear this pretty early 😉 anyway, when the drums set in…. man, that is cool!
It might be badly composed, played, mixed, what ever, I don’t care. I’m proud as shit 😀 and like to hear some feedback and tips.

Im a fan of the ” I dont care” as well. I was in the same boat as you brother, all this music and no drummer. Toontrack fixed that. I think your recording sounds great, you should give yourself more credit, Ive heard way worse!
lol yes, there IS alot of metal in here, I love driving my follow toontackers here crazy when I use metal machine kit for rock songs So keep up the good work bro! I wanna hear some lyrics over this next time

I agree with the above poster, you don’t give yourself enough credit.
It sounds like you’re using very inexpensive software/hardware for recording and mixing, but you would never know it from the results.
I’ve been recording and mixing for years with good hardware and software but I still suck at it.
Your song sounds very Dave Matthews like of which I’m a fan. The guitar playing is outstanding in my opinion!
Find a singer to sing over it and it will be even better.
I started out like you (songs with no vocals), but eventually began singing the songs myself.
I’m not much of a singer and have a very narrow range, but I’m not tone deaf, so I decided to start doing the vocals myself.
Some songs I still crinch when I hear the vocals, but most I don’t mind and I’ve had some local bands showing interest in covers or remixes, so that felt pretty good.
