Question Author
Thanks for all the comments. I'm really grateful. If I'm honest, I'm not entirely happy with my vocal. I was experimenting with new equipment when I recorded it and I haven't got the best results due partly to a lack of familiarity with the gear but mostly to the fact that I rushed it. I should have done more takes of certain phrases but as I didn't I had to make do with the ones I had.
thesecondlaw - "... Personally, I'd drop the first 25 seconds...".
Fair enough. I like the clarinet though. You wouldn't believe the lengths I went to to get that sounding authentic!
Svejk - "... Not too keen on the song, though..."
I agree. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
1ozzy - "... I found it to be a tad monotone..."
I would agree. It is. I'm going to do a song with a greater range next.
-SharonA- - "Not bad at all."
Thanks.
tonyav - "Very good, I think it needs listening to a couple of times."
Thanks. If you're listening to it through PC speakers, use headphones. I think it sounds better that way.
Mamyalynne - "Like that, well done."
Knowing your taste in music, that's praise indeed. Thank you.
Pete65 - "A splendid effort, Birdie. Well done!"
Thank you so much.
murraymints - "Like it x"
Ta, x :-)
Thank you for all your comments. I was expecting the worst and regretted making it pubic the moment I did. But thankfully none of you hated it. Phew!
