This is the best songI've heard of yours to date, Mike. I'm glad you've been encouraged to take up the vocals - you really have no reason to worry about them at all. Perhaps the parts of your voice you dont like are the parts the rest of us see as character and flavour :-).
Although I liked Come Alive and Tillatoba a lot, Flowchart or me is way ahead of these - and not just because I'm a fan of David Holloway's kit either. Its got that fresh 'just recorded straight' sound and the lyrics are way better too. Flowchart-go-kart - inspired!
A simple cheery unpretentious song with something to say and bags of personality.
Keep it up!

I find that, when I'm going for a simple, straight ahead, live sound, David Holloway's kit fits the bill perfectly.
It took me a while to figure out how to work with the boomy kick sound. I found that I need to follow a routine: Export the audio, open in Peak for pre-processing, apply a little eq and limiting to maximize the volume without peaking out, then save. That saved file is what I import into Cubase and build upon.
This is my second attempt at vocals. I was pushed into singing by some positive influences by my friends at the Fender Discussion Page. I'm still not entirely comfortable with my voice, but I guess it's better than waiting for my unreliable singer friend to show up.

What I don't like about my voice is that it seems "nasal" and "thin" to me. I suppose I can hole a tune, but the tone of my voice isn't one that I would normally enjoy listening to.
Thanks for your positive feedback, though.

If you heard my voice, I think you'd agree that 'hole' is the right word!

I think your right about seeming nasal - but that's not a bad thing. Mine is also basically nasal and If I'm honest I'm not to happy about that either - but I think its different when its not your own voice you'r listening to. Your voice wouldn't be suitable for sone songs perhaps, but miles better than an ordinary 'pure' voice in many others. Excellent or straightup songs from the heart - Bob Dylan being an extreme example.
Cheers
