The worst recording I've made = the most fun!

I was just checking out a couple new bits of gear and playing about with a little acoustic tune that somehow turned into a full band song (using the term loosely here!)...One take stuff and it shows.

You know how you spend ages working with bands, going through parts and scrutinizing every last detail? By the time you've finished recording or mixing it, you never want to hear the song again - unless it's on the radio of course.

Well this was sort of refreshing as it was all so spontaneous and messy and fun. Thought I'd share with yous and maybe get some opinions for when it's done proper.

I thought that was great...I'm sure it could have been a better recording but I liked the raw sound.

calling this the worse is wrong - you made something right when you did wrong. Me and my girlfriend + a friend recorded the boxer by simon & garfunkel and we did our best to aim the mics the wrong directions etc just having fun laughing but still very into recording the song and I love that sound we came up with - lots of room but still very close and warm.

I think your song is beautiful - It reminds me of the music from the movie "Once". Great movie about a music and love...

Keep it up!

Cheers. This recording has prompted us to do something more serious together - keeping it lo-fi or at least live, just because it's less of a drain. Our proper "semi-successful" band has gone tits up over the last year or so and I'm tired of writing songs for labels on not for myself.

and I need to re-think how I make other bands' records...
