I want your guys' feedback, please!

Jeff....

Remember, you asked for feedback, right? I've got to be honest with you. If I weren't, my comments would be worthless. Please take this is the way that it is offered....as constructive criticism.

I didn't understand a single word you sang until you got to the very end and sang the words "deprivation blues". Now, that could be due to any number of things, including....

- The uke was louder than the vocals on your recording

- You may need to ennunciate more clearly

- You may need to project more, vocally

That said, I think you should consider giving it another try! Get a better volume balance between the uke and the vocal, speak (sing) clearly, and belt out the vocal a bit more. I'd like to actually hear what your song has to say....

That makes sense, thanks dude.

Some editing software might help, audacity or some such thing. Recording seperate tracks for instrument/voice and combining them later allows you to tweak the the volume of one or the other. But your playing is solid, and you wrote that? Very nice. I think you'll make it to the next round. Paula, what did you think?

I'm going to Bollywood!

I can't find good ways to sync up the two tracks then with the audio and whatnot. Anyone have any tips?
