I did a cover of the song "Give Me Novacaine" by Green Day, i did guitar and vocals, it might not be the best ever but it's the first i've done so, suggestions on what i can do to better my performance. I recored the vocals with my iMac built in mic, and the guitar. My dad has protools (what alot of artists use to record their stuff, alot of big ones) in the other room on our best pc, that i might use for my next cover, i just need to learn to use it first. I used garage band to put the song together...I didnt really add any effects so, yeah. [URL=http://www.myspace.com/sharpiepm]http://www.myspace.com/sharpiepm[/URL] check it out there... i'll put it on a youtube video soon.

Less distortion. MOAR treble on guitar. You are singing an octave below where Green Day does. Definitely use your dad's tools and get better quality.

I'm pretty sure that most use Logic Pro, Cubase, Reason, or Ableton Live to make their music.. Some even make their songs in Fruity Loops Studio. Brad Lee (a local producer/DJ here in Phoenix) does all his own productions with FLS, and he has lots of record deals..
