You don't have to stick to original always (although I prefer these versions of covers) but as I mentioned before add a little feeling to it (just not too much).

Yeah I'm trying to come up with an alternative, that's why it's not been finished yet. Hopefully soon though

Might do A Message in the meantime.

The Champion · 11-10-2011, 04:48 PM

Oh, A Message is very sweet.

fooby · 11-10-2011, 05:13 PM

Just got it recorded, actually think it suits my voice quite good, need to rig a new mic setup though, even in the chorus when it's real loud my mic picks it up quite quietly, as it's pointed at the guitar.

Good. Good cover, but my advice is that you should maybe sing more firmly? Do you know what I mean? And I think that it would sound better if you'd sung it lower, but this one also does the work. And great guitar playing.

fooby · 11-10-2011, 07:19 PM

Cheers, by firmly do you mean like less wobbly? That's definitely something not having the guitar seems to help with.

The Champion · 11-10-2011, 07:40 PM

Yeah it sure helpes. Well by firmly I meant hmm... something like harden your accent.

PianoRocker · 14-10-2011, 02:34 PM

Not bad, I do completely agree with The Champion here.
Also another tip, first record the guitars(make sure it's not as mono as it is right now!) and than record your vocals seperated on it's own track.
Next make sure your vocals come to the front of your guitar and put up the recording here!

I say this because this recording is pretty hard to judge as it is.

Cheers, I'll try and record it over the weekend, its pretty hard to get a decent quality though as I don't have any sort of pre-amp to boost the signal of the mic, it's already boosted 500% in post for the videos.

The Champion · 15-10-2011, 10:09 AM

But seriously? I recorded some songs with just a skype microphone and the audacity and it sounded good. I mean, not me

Definitely not. But the quality was good, really good if you do seperate tracks.

fooby · 15-10-2011, 10:26 AM

It should be exactly the same as the microphone being used is the same as the vids, just you have that advantage of being able to have multiple guitar tracks and stuff so it sounds fuller. I really need to get myself a pre-amp to get rid of the stupid amount of noise caused by boosting the mic, it actually sounds quite decent when it isn't. Anyway I'll try and get that LIT2 recording finished today.

Also when I use that guitar I think I need to change the mic setup, as on my Takamine I have a feedback buster (rubber block in sound hole) to stop feedback from monitors when I'm playing live, but it also quietens the guitar down quite allot, so you can't here the vocals properly without it.

fooby · 17-10-2011, 05:28 PM

Yet again didn't get LIT2 done, Had to record it elsewhere as the hammer dulcimer belongs to my grandad and it's quite valuable so he doesn't want me taking it anywhere. Working on Charlie Brown now, just worked out the guitar part after finally working out what tuning it is. Eb A D G Bb D for anyone wondering, never even seen it before.

Here's Charlie Brown, it's a multi tracked recording

Pretty pleased with this, actually managed to get a pretty good guitar tone! Please excuse my dodgey mixing.
