Quick Review If You Will

Hey, I've been making some solo music over the past little bit for fun. I do all the recordings in my house with the wee bit of equipment that I own. It's got multiple guitars, vocals, and bass. No drums though because I just can't play those things. Let me know what you think. I'd like to get into a quality recording environment and make some nice recordings at some point. Curious about your thoughts.

Just as some notice, the bass levels are set up for computers without quality sound, so if you have quality sound, you might need to drop the bass down some.

Thanks for your time in advance.

not sure your voice really works for the type of music you are playing. maybe if there were drums, but you attack the vocals and the rest of it is for the most part mellow and im not sure it works.

pretty good overall.

I appreciate your comments, but with 13 audio tracks (4 being low-to-mid tempo (mellow) and 9 mid-to-high tempo), it is difficult to apply them constructively. Regardless, thanks for the time. Anybody else have a chance for comments?

i mean, you can have a song with a fast tempo be mellow.

Noted. I guess the thing to take away most from your review is that I should look closer at the affects of a lack of drums. I do play within a band and the songs really take wings in that atmosphere. Eventually, I'd like to get the drums on there. Not to mention the lead electric guitar which is being played by an acoustic on my recordings. All good reasons why I need to get into a professional recording environment.
