Trying to improve my recording. Way harder than it seems to be. Let me know what you think. Be brutal .

Great vox. You need to bring up the rest of the mix up. I can't tell if there is bass in there or rythm guitar. The lead is good where it is though.

Thanks for all the replies. I used a backing track that I found with the drums, Bass and Keyboards. I have been using two different recording devices. Some of the tracks were done on my computer and some were done on a Korg PXR4 digital recorder. Still trying to learn how to use both.

Great job! I love singing this song at karaoke- you get the whole place singing the "ride Sally, ride" backup part.

The singing is good, but it sounds like your singing to the radio playing in the background (other than the lead, which is hot!). Back to the mixer and try again.

Nice job guitar Jim!
That tune will get em off their seats and up dancing and shaking at any wedding. You can thank The Commitments for that!
