Positive Comments: You may have noticed that I only scored you on three categories. That is because they were the only categories I felt comfortable scoring you for because the recording was extremely poor. I can’t score you on things I can’t really hear.
Constructive Comments: When I come across sound quality this bad in a recording that comes up for review, it makes me want to ask you a couple questions. What were you hoping to achieve putting this up for review? Its a terrible recording that has had almost no work done to it as far as the balance and tweeking tracks goes, was this you putting your best foot forward? What are your goals here? Does putting something up for review that is clearly unpolished unrefined and comes across as a sketch of a song help you achieve those goals? Those are some of the questions I would ask you based on what I listened to. I’m not saying these things to be an asshole, on the contrary, I am actually trying to help you. You see, there were hints in there that this might be a pretty decent song, but I have no way of knowing.It sounded like you had a real drummer, but truthfully I didn’t know for sure whether it was or not. I thought it was. I don’t know how you recorded your drummer, but typically you do it with a mic for each piece of the kit or as close as you can get so you can have a different track to mix for each piece. This sounds like you had one mic and it was on the other side of the room, which made the drums in the recording sound like they were in a different state when you recorded it.I don’t know how you recorded the guitar, but the melody was almost indiscernible. It came across as about 75% white noise.it also doesn’t sound like there was any work done to the mix, whether it be adjusting levels or tweaking tracks or anything. If someone did work this mix, and this is what they came up with then they are terrible and should never mix one of your songs again. They have no clue what they are doing. You don’t need a masters degree in sound editing to mix a song, but you do need to have some basic clue as to what you are doing. And whoever mixed this had no clue whatsoever.It’s a shame, there might be a good song here, I heard hints of one, but the recording is so terrible i have no way of knowing and that is just a shame. For most musicians you have one chance to make an impression on someone, you have one chance to make them take you seriously. So my final question to you is, are you satisfied with this recording being that one chance?
