I would suggest you find A FEW local songwriters
and ask them where they get their demos done.
They would know the least expensive place.
When all is said and done you should have your
song and a DAT tape that you can use later for any
adjustments you want to make.

It's a pretty good song, & from what I can hear, it's performed well enough. You have a nice voice.

Imho, you should find a producer, as well as someone to help you with the recording aspects. This could be a cool-sounding song, with the right production. I think you could use some b/u vox in there, echoing some of the lyric, esp on the chorus.

Yeah, there are lots of issues with this attempt, but at least you are getting some ideas across, & there isn't a thing wrong with that. Most performers/songwriters aren't the best at the whole recording thing.

Shop around. Find the best ppl you can to help in the final processes. You will learn as you go, if you stick with it.

Hi Chaeya,

I have a friend who is a female jazz vocalist in SoCal that is selling a nearly new Neumann handheld mic at a good price. It is a great mic for female voice.
This one I think:

If it is what you are looking for I will put you in touch.

That's a nice live mike, this Neumann is like $2,000 (I tried it out at the 2008 NAMM) and it's a recording mike. But then I have to check out what they'll have at this year's NAMM.

I bought a Telefunken M80 at the show in January for live performance. I haven't really had a chance to experiment with it yet. I wanted a Shure but they gave me such a good deal on it, even if I sold it on eBay I'd still turn a profit. Telefunken isn't too bad. I know the rep pretty well, so I'm working on getting an endorsement with them. Once I get a better name for myself then I could hit up Shure and Neumann. I've always recorded with Neumanns even back in the 80s.

The Dragonfly will do for my studio recordings and it works well with my voice. Again, I got a really good deal on it.

Thanks.

Chaeya
