GO TO A QUIET ROOM!!! I listened to a demo a while back where they had a baby screaming in the background AND a dog would bark after the baby would scream to a point it actually was hard to hear the lyrics!! REALLY? This is what you want your "product" to sound like? Again, there are recording devices that are inexpensive, there are free apps for most electronic devices, some of the built in mics in say the iPhone or iPad are not bad and overall with a little trial and error can do a "not too bad" recording.
#TUNESMITH GUITARS ROSSVILLE ILLINOIS ANDROID#
TUNE YOUR DANG GUITAR!!! As far as I know you can get a tuner from any music store, you can download a free app for your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, you can use a tuning fork, you can use a dial tone (well folks tell me the dial tone is an "A note" but personally have never used that :) LOLOL!!! My point is: GET A TUNER AND USE IT!!! If for some reason you can't hear your guitar is out of tune then get someone else to tune it for you!!! But there is zero, nada, zip, goose eggs, NO reason to have a guitar that is out of tune! I would think this list would be a "no brainer" but I've heard enough of these to suggest other wise!! LOLOL I'm not talking about "full production" or other.just basic common sense stuff here. This was the demo they had planned to submit to artists? There were several GLARING errors which to me would be pretty basic and obvious but just for my own peace of mind I feel compelled to make this short for a basic demo. Anyway, the bottom line of this demo was "the song actually was pretty dang good"!! BUT.the demo was so bad that I'm not sure anyone listening could get past the incredibly bad demo to actually focus on the main event.THE SONG!!!
I talked some about this in a previous blog about critiques and with a how with a small measure of success folks begin to seek you out and ask your opinion (relevant or not). I'm meeting 1/2 of the mission as I sit here with my coffee!! :)Īnyway, I was thinking about a demo a person sent me a while back and asked me to listen to, to "see if it is a good song". Here it is a very rainy morning in central Ohio and am trying to motivate myself to live my mission statement of "Drink coffee and make stuff up!!".
