I'm not saying it's very bad but I'm saying that it could be improved very well. If you put the volume loud it will hurt your ears, there the mixing problems starts. Cuting the over the top highs will solve that problem. If these problems didn't appear than he didn't need the bump in the thread :) I'm sure that many people listened but clicked it away pretty fast because of their ears.

With some more rehearsing and changes it could be a much better recording. This wasn't as bad as I expected, tho it's not even close to good. Let me start about the big picture of the cover. What happened with your guitars? I mean, did you tune them tons of octaves higher? What for microphone are you using and where do you place it? I'm asking you this because in your recording it seems like you cut all of the low frequentions from the guitars and boosted the highs. The vocals don't fit on the guitar recordings. It seems like they are completely different recordings, different place, different mics, big quality difference(too big). The vocals are slightly off-tune all over the cover and some parts even way off. This will be solved by recording the guitar, mix it in a right way(in case this sound came from lack of quality and lack of mixing care) boost the lows and mids and cut some highs from the guitars. If you don't know how, PM me with a clean recording of the guitars(I'll only help you with that if you have tried.) Record the lead vocal while listening to the guitar track in your earphones. Put on the monitor in your headphones for the vocals so you can hear the guitars and vocals together(tip: pan the guitars slightly to the left and vocals slightly to the right to be able to hear easier in case it gets off tune). Do NOT mix the vocals and guitars together in one track, create a complete project off it in your recording software(wich are you using?) If some places the vocals still are slightly off tune, let it there.. software can do the trick but only if it's slightly out of tune and not the whole song. Record your vocals 3 to 5 times and pick the best recording, in case all of them have places where it is slightly out of tune, mix the recordings till all wrong parts are covered! When everything is recorded and mixed the way you want it, make a render of the project, and listen to it on your cd player, this can make mistakes more clear. When you are happy with the results, post it again. If you followed up everything I've explained in this post, it will improve very well. I'm saying all of this because your voice has something, it's not just an out-of-the-box voice. It could be much and much better with more care for the song. Plus, take care with the reverb. All over the song there is a lack of reverb untill where the bridge starts. The vocals has it's overused reverb but the guitar still sounds as dry and cranky as all over the song. Here comes another tip: NEVER put the much reverb, most beginners think that more reverb is better. But it is NOT better. Also while making the mix, don't make it loud.. just make the mix. This means, put the instruments on it's right place, right amount of reverb, give each instrument their right EQ settings. The mixing is NOT mastering. This also means, don't put any effects to the master track. So this total project will end up as this pattern: 1. Rhythm guitar 2. Lead guitar 3. Backing vocals low 4. Backing vocals high 5. Lead vocals I hope this will help you and you won't have questions like: what is all of this? To make it all sound right and how it suppose to be you need experience, it will take lots of time, good ears and learning. Like myself. I wrote tons of songs, 3 albums ONLY for learning, practice and experience in studio work. It took me years to learn as much as I could. And now I'm working on my first album with the experience of all processes that a album takes. From writing to making a complete album master.

I've slowed it down and there is nothing going on with the piano, it's a afterwards added effect of what I believe inverted strings. If u slow it down you can actually hear the piano making a fast strum downwards. And you can hear that the effect is something else. It can be a reverst VSTi instrument or actual recording of an guitar or anything else. It shouldn't be hard to recreate the sound.

aahhhh there Clocks is :)

NO CLOCKS BTW? :O
