Want some feedback on my songs.

I just recorded these two songs this month. The first is Satch Boogie by Joe Satriani and was just my lead guitar played over a backing track. I went direct with a Toneworks AX100G into a 2-input micro-mixer. Ghetto, I know, but I'm broke.

I would have used my 57, but I live in a dorm and there were just too many damn annoying noises during my tracking (people knocking on the door, drunk idiots screaming in the background, etc.). Also, I had a deadline so I couldn't waste time trying to get the mic perfect.

The second is Voice of the Soul by Death and is all me. I used an acoustic/electric that was recorded both direct, and mic-ed with an SM57. I had to mix the two signals together on my micro mixer and record to one track cuz my set-up is very limited. The electric guitars are direct, actually the same patch as the first song.

I edited them with Cool Edit Pro on my PC.

So, give me all the constructive criticism you can. This is one of my first full song recording projects, and I want to know how to do it better.

You should be able to use that server, you just need to edit your homepage to include links to the tunes you're sharing.

I think.

I like the layered guitars. Great mood. Sounds like you got something off your chest. I would have enjoyed more separation - it's virtually mono. which, while it contributes to the pleasant layering sounds, felt flat to me, but that's nitpicking. I dug it.
