I like it Thanks for the advice. Never gave it much that but building up to crescendo is something I will work on in future projects. Ed Check out my latest song called Cowboy (WIP)

one song at a time Well, firstly, the instrumentation on this is great - realy lovely guitar work, especially in the end section. The backing vocal (my life) has way to much effects on it, and doesn't need it. The 'liii-ive my life' main in the chorus I think needs to be tweaked, maybe sung a bit more direct or smoother. love your voce on this ed, really gruff and world weary, but i think you can put a bit more emotion into this without overcooking it. This could be a real tear jerker - keep it up! Steve Check out my latest song called Deeper (w/t Racerat)

one song at a time Steve Thanks again for your input. I have not yet learned to leave the effects off the vocal track. I will learn. As for the chorus I just don't feel that I have the command of my voice to pull it off but I am working on it. Thanks for the encourgement. Ed Check out my latest song called Cowboy (WIP)

Great voice This sounds very good overall. Nicely balanced mix. Just a couple of comments: 1/ the intro is way too long. A couple of whacks on that acoustic guitar, and then straight into the vocals, I'd say. 2/ Your bass player is way too timid. This is not a solid bottom. 3/ The electric riff also repeats too much, which is a shame, because I really like the variety that it brings at that point.. After the first I-IV you should really play a little solo. Just a small riff, but do not repeat the same chords. Compliments on the drum programming. Simple but effective.

Great voice Thanks for the compliments. I agree with the crtique I am just not a bass player and I am doing all the parts myself. I am palying bass on a synth for the first time in my life so I guess that will be the weak link until i get more experience or I find someone to work with me on those parts. I am open to help from any bass players on MJ. Thanks Ed Check out my latest song called Cowboy (WIP)

Nicely turned out! Excellent voice Ed, and a good song. Your recording sounds good - gutars and vocals are clear and crisp and generally well balanced. Drums are very nicely done. The lead is possibly a bit overused, and I agree with VicDiesel about the bass playing - needs to be more up in the mix and to sound more confident. Fixing the bass could make a big difference to this song, and give it heaps more drive. Real bass on this sort of song will always be better than midi bass. I also agree with Vic on the intro - you could have easily taken 4 bars out and improved (and shortened) the song. A hint about endings: always leave a bar of silence at the end of songs in LE7 (or anything else) so you don't get that abrupt cut-off before the end of the fade. If you'd like a live bass track, send me an email. Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

Good tune! I notice that you already have received lots of constructive criticism, which hopefully you find helpful/encouraging? I agree with much of what's been said already, and I'll just add that the basic way to train your voice is to sing a lot, and loudly! Obviously you can overdo it and damage your voice, but it's like muscle training, you just do anything frequently enough and push yourself, and the muscles become better developed. Good tune, and I'd love to see the lyrics posted! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

Good tune! Thanks for the encouraging words and tips. All of the advice was great and has been put to good use. Neil Porter was kind enough to collab on the bass line and some changes were made to the song. I will post the revision shortly. Ed Check out my latest song called Cowboy (WIP)

Rediscovering your music I had my iTunes on play through my downloaded Macjam favorites, and I just recently discovered that you and Ed Moran are the same artist. I have been wondering who he is cause I had "All I Had Is You" and "One Day" (downloaded months ago) repeatedly played and I thought they were great songs! I went to google your name here and found those songs under your name. Hey, now you've got your first listed fan. Check out my latest song called The Nightingale (music and lyrics by Oceans)

Good straight forward song, voice sounds great, nice coarse smokey edge
to it, though abit to much wavey echo/chorus on it during the chorus. For
a song as long as this, maybe start a little sparser and gradually build on
that to create a sense of resolution and climax and I suppose
development. Well done.
