First recorded song for myself and with the GT-10

[Hot Jam Sushi]

Hey guys

I know I'm quite new here, and I have been learning from all the threads on how to use this beast! But this is my first recording of my own music (that I actually finished) and tbh it's all thanks to the GT-10 xD I used an acoustic patch I made myself which I used for my Hotel California coursework (which if I find a way how I may show as well, since I used the GT-10 for every guitar part, hehe ^^;) and I used a custom patch using the Tube Lead amp.

I know it's out of time in places, but I did it in a day, but I'd like to hear your thoughts and also how I could improve that harmoniser sound at the end, I think I may have set it up badly, it's in the right key and using 3rds, but it sounds sort of noisy, don't know if there's any way to solve that? I would have just played the harmony myself but I don't have enough frets ^^;

Thanks for the time if you listened =)

EDIT: Just so you know it's the only song we have on there atm, it's called The Water's Edge (Instrumental) and also I will happily take constructive critisicm on how to make this better! thanks guys! =)

Very nice. What I enjoy most about your playing is that your sense of rhythm and timing is really tight. You don't meander in and out of tempo. Good recording and very tasteful.

Not bad at all!!! I liked the harmonies at the end.
Nice sounding acoustic part and good tempo. Cool lead part too.
Keep it up.

Thanks loads guys!

@mboss77 I thought I slipped out of time a lot in the first few phrases ^^; got too worked up in getting them perfect just wanted to get them out the way in the end, oh well.

So can anyone address that harmony issue? or am I the only one who notices it sounds kinda bad?

[Mastora]

I don't think you have a harmony issue. To me it sounds good. :rocker:

You harmony sounds noisy because your distortion is noisy.
Where in the chain is the harmoniser?
Are you using any eq/compression etc?

[Hot Jam Sushi]

The harmoniser was right at the end of the chain just infront of the digital out, I did have eq on the patch but I don't think I used compression. If specifics to do with where the eq is and what it's like are important I can find that out for you if it helps.

Generally I've found having the harmoniser at the end has been less noisy for me, but I haven't really had the time to experiment deeper into getting a cleaner sound.

Thanks!
