Hello, this is my song called "You'll be Crying For My Love At Night. I composed the song entirely in band in a box 2013 and edited it in music creator. Here is the link You'll Be Crying For My Love At Night
Have you posted this before? It sounded familiar.

It reminded me of Tom Petty Learning to fly at the beginning. My personal take is that it's for the most part, well recorded. The guitar's are a bit over effected with verb and echo that doesn't match the rest of the mix as well as it could or should.

The vocals sound like they are near the top of your range and that as a result you are straining in a few places.

Good pop song.
I used "BIAB" to come up with the song, it is all BIAB, but then I arranged it in Music creator 2006, then I exported the wav file, burned it onto a CD, them Imported it into my fostex vf08 did all the finishing touches. As far as the vocal sounding strained I was just getting over a very bad cold, but just couldn't wait to record it, so I got anxious. I didn't want to have to do it over because I know that it don't really matter because it's just YouTube. People there don't really respond to much unless you are paying for advertising, but I am pretty happy with the results even if it's not up to par. But thank you for being honest. I may redo it someday. Thanks...
Cool song!! I think the mix should be more "in your face". It's a bit soupy. I like the feel of the song, and the energy. Good job! Take care. Greg
I like this song a lot. Good job. Your vocals sound very strong to me, even if you had a cold. You are singing a very dynamic melody and that in and of itself is very impressive. You are reaching for notes that other people don't even try to hit and for that you are to be congratulated.

What program did you use to do the video backdrop? That was pretty cool. Take me to school buddy, give me some tips.

I used a green screen. I put a green screen up against the closet with a stand, then I took the video into movie maker and synched my sound track, muted the original track, then I pulled the MPG file into Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, and used the Chroma key to filter out the background. That is the green screen, then I put a background that I created in Photoshop from a picture of a sunset that I took. I used the smudge tool so you couldn't tell it was a picture. I liked the color scheme, so I stuck with it, then I put my YouTube music name in it. "Musicmanbutte" above my head" That was for branding. Saved it in 1080P in adobe Photoshop elements, then uploaded it. From Start to finish. Although, I do not lip-synch the words because that would be kind of faking. I take my digital recorder and actually sing it on another track with my Digital recorder fully working, when I am shooting video so what you see is really singing, it is not faked at all. I do it until I get it right. Although I do synch the recorded track to the video. I am thinking of doing 2 different versions of the song with one where it is synched, and another where the recorded track is not synched to the video.

Nice rock tune. Good work.

Enjoyed my listen. This is a good song and I thought you did a good job using the green screen for the video.
