My Violet Hill Cover

Featured Replies

Hey, it's a fan-cover by someone who can actually sing! :P

 

Really good, though your voice is sometimes hard to hear. And I wish it had the bit at the end...that's my favorite part of the song. :cry:

that's a fantastic cover! :nice: really really well done, I'm impressed.

 

the only thing I wish is that it was more your take, and less Coldplay's (after all, isn't that what's great about covers?)

 

not that it matters - its pretty brilliant (:

Great point!

 

you'll find that advice for every youtube cover.

 

you outta try and take another shot at it. you've already nailed it once, see if you can do something better and more interesting.

Haha thanks folks!

 

Thats actually the first full cover I've put together using adobe audition. The thing I have trouble with is the drums. I can't actually play the drums and I don't own a drum kit, so I have to add drums by switching the keyboard to drum effects and pressing individual keys and it can be really hard.

 

In terms of making it my own I guess in some ways I don't think I could their songs justice by messing around, the only other thing I may be able to do would be to add some little guitar licks here or there.

 

I've also done a cover of GPASUYF which isn't brilliant but it's ok I guess. I actually recorded this 3 years ago but only added vocals yesterday lol. If you'd like to listen here it is http://www.mediafire.com/?omxpzmwojhf

 

Thanks for all the nice comments and positive feedback.

 

Peace

 

Tony :)

Just to clarify, I think your cover sounds really fantastic. I meant no harm by the 'make it your own' comment. Just in case it sounded offensive :uneasy:

 

Its really hard with drums too, I've much the same problem.. I can play the drums alright, but I live in an apartment, and well, those two things don't normally go well together. And I usually run out of patience when it comes to trying to do them from a keyboard, so even more kudos :P

No no I didn't find it offensive at all! :) I'm just grateful that people have taken the time to listen to it. I actually edited it a bit different since I put it on youtube, I added in a guitar bit that I missed out on the 2nd verse and also re-did some of the background bendy string bits haha. If people want I could upload? It's nothing major but they're subtle changes which I like.
