Just relax a bit more. No need to rush it. :)

Cheers, this is exactly my problem you're spot on. I almost always just record the first take, rarely use a metronome or even do practice runs before hitting record. I guess it's because I'm always just keen to get a rough sketch of the idea down quickly, but then I never actually go back and put the time into getting it done right.
 
I've had this melody running round my head for ages but it's proving to be an elusive task as I sort of know what I want to do but I have a way to go until it becomes not just the main intro melody?????
 
I wish I had a decent singing voice, I always sound like I sould have my larynx ripped out. It's horrible and goes flat and I'm really concious of it. I wrote this short song to see if I could get away with it. I suppose until they create a Gillan fx pedal I'm stuck with it.

I really like the instrument sounds I got on this track, the lead guitar sounds pretty good considering I direct recorded it and the drum sound provided by Session Drummer 3 from cakewalk. I sometimes watch people live who use midi files in their music for drums, a pub duo for example and they never seem to get it, but weak unrealistic drum sounds can ruin an otherwise great performance imo, it's one of my pet hates.

I hope you can put up with my questionable vocals ;)

That is brilliant. Including the vocal part in that.
 
I had a right scream recording this, I used my GR20. The bass sound was the instigator, it's not a great piece of music however the sounds are quite good. Guitar synths take a bit of getting used to from a guitar players prospective because you have to think in terms of the instruments your playing and how specific instruments work but playing stringed instruments and guitars and bass is very natural, I am amazed at how playable the thing is once you get the setup right.

I was running out of ideas today, so I thought I'd have some fun.
I used a random phrase generator to make about 15 weird lines.
Then I turned each one into a rhyming couplet (psychologists association style)
Then I though I'd improvise the chords and the melody on the spot with a very simple accompaniment (I broke all my strings bar two busking last night )
This is the result. :hmm:
