He's a Pirate
At 0:10 and 1:01 Finger movements causes screeching in the recording. To fix this I would record this part again till there is no screeching from the guitar, or use a noise gate to cute off the low frequencies to prevent the screeching from coming through.
The beginning notes and ending notes sound different. Recorded at different times possibly. I would have either recorded it again till it sounded the same or have taken the beginning recording and placed it at the end if i could not get the recording to sound the same. The beginning notes seem to include more of the high frequencies. Where as the ending notes are much more bassy and has more low frequencies in the recording.
Clicks happen due to glitches, might be from too much information going through at once. I would use a better computer or use better data cables such as USB 3.0.
Apologize
Beginning at 0:00 wasn't cut and you can hear performers moving/talking and instruments being touched, the metronome also can be heard at the beginning far off in the distance. The metronome is a very high frequency making it easy to hear. I would have cut out those parts which means it sounds more professional and the song starts at the beginning when you press play rather than waiting a few seconds.
Piano sounds like it was recorded far away. Too much reverb, recorded using a condenser, this is because you can hear everything else in the room. I would either lower the gain of the condenser so it wouldn't pick up any other audio in the room or use a dynamic microphone. I would have also reduced the reverb by placing foam in the room to absorb it. I would have placed the microphone in a better position and close to the part that emits the sound this would also mean it wouldn't pick up anything else as there is a shorter distance between the microphone and noise being recorded.
Gaps in between vocals aren't cut out, meaning you can hear movement and swallowing, i would fix this by going through the song and lowering the gain using automation at parts of the song where the performer isn't singing so you can't hear anything else happening such as swallowing from the performer or them shuffling.
Microphone gain isn't set right she becomes too loud at 1:14, when compared to the other parts of the song such as the beginning it is very different in volume, I could also change the automation of the gain during the track to make sure the volume does not peak. I would either record it again or use a compressor. If i recorded it again i would make sure the performer doesn't move around whilst recording.
No pop shield this created popping in the vocals. One pop can be heard at 0:46. I would record the song again and use a pop shield or try my best to reduce the pops by lowering the gain using automation when there is pops.
Didn't cut the microphone audio at the end, can hear her taking off her headphones, i would cut this out and it would make it sound more professional.
Beneath your beautiful
Bass is out of time. I would record it again till it is in time. 0:46 is an example of where this can be heard.
Drums are too fast compared to the piano. 1:36 is an example of this. This was probably because of them not being recorded first. I would restart the whole project again and record the drums first or record everything else till it is in time with the drums.
Drums are recorded with one condenser microphone. Makes the drum kit sound whole, doesn't separate the different parts of the drum and single them out. This makes it harder to emphasise the specific parts of the drum kit such as the snare, bass and hi hat. Using separate microphones means it is possible to use EQ on the separate instruments which would make the overall sound of the drum kit sound better.
Mic positioning on the piano is wrong sounds too airy and feels far away from the microphone. I would record the piano again making the microphone closer to the piano.
No metronome was used this is evident because the other instruments are not in time. Possibly because the drum wasn't recorded first. I would use metronome and record the drum kit first which would ensure the whole song stays in time and sounds professional.
Piano hit the wrong notes. I would record this again until it was perfect, or if necessary use a new performer who is more experienced. 2:02 is an example of when the performer makes a mistake on the piano.
Didn't cut the song at the end. I would cut this as it would make the song sound more professional.
The vocalist's microphone is too loud at some parts and too quiet at others. This is possible due to the performer moving further away and closer to the microphone. Or that other instruments just over power the vocals. 3:05 is an example is where the performer is very quiet compared to the other instruments.
