    Hey budz .. Tried to do something different courtesy Wizzy .. This song is dedicated to u Wiz ..

    I really Liked the song especially the lead ..

    link --> https://www.purevolume.com/nottyz (Preferable)

    link --> www.soundclick.com/nottyz

    looking forward for honest feedback .. suggestions/corrections/criticizm welcome ..


    PS - It would be better if u download the song n listen to it than the low fi version .. coz quality goes down in low fi .. n track loses a li'l feel ..

    Hit the keys now ..

    EDIT : Chords Used .. Continuous progression of

    Em - [022000]
    D - [000232]
    Cmaj7 - [032000] --- I've played elsewhere wid modification but this works good ..
    Asus2 - [002200]

    and in the Bridge - C A C A(Asus2)

    Good one done.

    Guitars are nice to hear.
    Abay yaar but vocals wise it is same.
    :(

    On high pitches the voice doesnt carry enuff power.
    Some places the voices hits bummer notes.

    And d00d you have lowered the chorus part by one octave?
    :shock:

    I gotta go back and listen to original.




    But for the first time english song, it is commendable.
    *clap*

    @Rahul .. Thankies bud ..

    @vini .. Choice of song was made from Wizzy's suggestion of 5 songs .. so credit for that goes to Wiz ;) .. thanx for the appreciation ..

    @alpha .. actually I did have a tough time singing this song coz i'm not used to such themes(so its difficult initially to sing with the feel).. I'm tryin hard to improve muh vocals .. n get That PUNCH at some notes which u're talkin bout ..

    The chorus part is in the same octave .. not lowered ..
    n Boy .. It wasn't muh first ANGREZI cover :p: .. I've sung a few pops earlier ..

    Thanx for the feedback man .. I'l try more such stuff ..

    @Bubz .. So sweet to hear from u .. Thanx a zillion u showed up .. <3

    @alpha .. I've played the acoustic version of the song .. surprisingly .. the link which u gave me chorus is an octave higher .. But The acoustic version which i have he's sung in the same octave .. only the last chorus is an octave higher ..

    Also the singing style is somewhat different in the link which u gave me n there's no whistlin n leads on Electric .. v happened to listen to different versions ..

    ok heard it...

    fisrt of all all those who think this is a good change gimme good reps...it was my idea.

    now for the comment.
    guitars were nice...but yeah the vocals were a bit of a letdown. Im not saying it was a bad performance.....it was very well done...agreed that u might have got another version of the song which resulted with the chorus sung in a lower octave thing..yada yada. u got a good voice dude...but it didnt show enough passion (or power as alpha said).
    anyway....the recording quality was very good....and it is always good to see a change.

    overall quite impressive actually....its been quite long since u recorded so I wasnt expecting a good one.

    next sugesstion....try Harvest by Opeth ;)

    reps for u......and ur welcome ;)

    Thankies wiz .. Good to hear from u n surely reps for u too :) .. I'l try even harder next time n I'l get used to such songs only by singin more n more of 'em I guess .. till then .. cheers with Beers :beerbob:

    @alpha .. The studio release which u linked me to is cool man .. the beats are amazing ..

    Another thing guys .. I'm having a really tough time overlapping in audacity man .. The timings jz go helter skelter even though i overlap (leads,vocals etc) properly .. When i press the stop button .. the whole thing shifts n becomes total mess .. I was thinking of making a thread for this .. Is it the mic ? is it some setting damn I have to do many takes n a li'l editing always which is frustrating .. what shall i do ? :(

    ^ I know.
    I always said Audacity is crap.

    That problem is due to latency in your soundcard, which audacity doesnt corect for.
    It is not your mistake or your hardware's mistake.


    Get a pro-multi track recording software. ;)

    @alpha .. I have Adobe Audition 1.5 n Fruity Loops producer edition .. but I find it damn complicated to operate .. Audacity is very simple .. but i guess I'l have to trade off now..

    @slash thanx man .. :)
