Life In Technicolor - My recording attempt!

[simoncooldude]

Hey guys

 

Just spent a while recording this, and wanted to know what you guys thought! Farily mental recording involving drums, synths, guitars, basses, vocals, you name it.... I know the drums are completely different (i've just done it with tom-toms here, but that's all that my piano can handle!)

 

So here it is... if you love it, post below, or even if you hate it too, just tell me what you think! Cheers guys, much appreciated

Thats very nice. :o:)

 

How did u get that Dulcimer sound?

Or do you have one?

I was almost expecting "Cemeteries of London" to start at the end, it was that close-sounding. Nicely done!

nice, sound on the acoustic guitar sounds a little chunky and cymbal crashes would've been nice. But everything's there and the timing is excellent, good job :) .

Thanks very much for the comments guys, much appreciated, keep them coming haha!

 

Stephan: No I don't have a dulcimer hehe, wouldn't mind one though! I've got a MIDI Module (Roland JV1010) which gives me loads of voices for the digital piano, and spent an absolute age flicking through to find the perfect voice... it doesn't have the reverb that the real recording has but it comes close

 

Trispieler: Thanks a lot mate. I know, I can't seem to get the acoustic to sound any smoother, it's just a cheapy pick-up I've rammed into the guitar, it's not a proper electro-acoustic... and it's only an £80 guitar :P Any ideas how I could mix it smoother? I'll see what I can do about the cymbal crashes, it's so annoying I can't seem to get a kit on this piano (something about MIDI channels... all very complicated!). Thanks very much for your comments!

Hi! I was thinking about doing a cover of it as well. I'd really like to hear your cover to get a reference, but the link has expired. Could you please re-up it?? Thanx!
