Re: Really need your help with my track and vocals
Listening over my crappy 'puter speakers, it seems like a little mid dip on the guitar would allow the vocal a bit more space. As for the vocal, it could benefit from AutuTune or Melodyne to solve the slight pitch issues. Sounds like the drums are some simple loops(like ezdrummer?) so maybe go thru the midi(piano roll) and add a little variation here and there(ghost notes on snare and maybe make the kick pattern a little more varied). I would also pull the crash cymbals back a few clicks. If your drums are able to be split out to separate tracks(maybe they are already), then I would add a touch of low end to the kick drum. Is the bass a single DI track? If yes, I would AUX send it to a mono AUX track and insert an amp sim to give it some girth(without making it much louder). Amplitube SVX works great, Amplitube2 or 3(or any amp sim) can work fine by choosing a simple tube preamp and tube power amp combo. Or you can do it with SamsAmp if that's all you have(just to give the bass some "attitude").
Overall, its really not that far off(and I tune vocals that are way worse all the time). I would like to hear a little more emotion in the vocal delivery, but that's between you and your lyrics(and maybe you delivered it exactly the way you like, so don't feel you MUST do anything that I or anyone else suggests).

Re: Really need your help with my track and vocals
Verse sections are definitely out of tune and slightly off beat in a few parts, but when the chorus/bridge comes in and the drums drop out at the 1:00 mark, sounds great. Almost sounds like a totally different vocalist. Not really my genre of expertise, so I can't be of much more help than that. Vocal quality sounds good, a little lite though.

Re: Really need your help with my track and vocals
@Stig thanks for the advice. I Think the problem unfortunately lies more in my techniques and missing ability to hit the pitch.
One person told mé, that my basic singing is off, and my singing dosent Sound good. BUT another told mé that its just my pitch.. Witch is it? Can you tell mé.? I need to know what im doing wrong to work ón it |

Re: Really need your help with my track and vocals
A couple examples from the first line:
Guess I never thought it'd come to this If I was producing that song, those words would bother me. They're both consistently sharp, and that doesn't sound good to me.
