    In the past I've just Google image searched words associated with the song and picked one. This time I did the same but with an AI image generator

    Just emailed mine in. Tried to be artsy and record this half tempo but realized after doing one verse this would make it 6 minutes long. Not wanting to subject anyone to that I panicked and recorded a solo and chorus at full tempo and ending up with a Frankensteinian mish mash.

    I've sent one in.  I decided to replace talent with fuzz, phasing and backwards guitars.

    @flying_pie - Hi, I've sent an entry for this.

    It's a cover of Haitian Divorce by Steely Dan though with a somewhat different and acoustic feel than the original.
    Royal Scam is one of my top all time favourite albums so this was a lot of fun.
    Cheers

    Have sent in my cover of Hard to Handle. Worked on a few new things for this entry.

    Everything apart from Bass stem was played by me (ran out of time to do basslines).
    Live drums recorded in my music room took some time to work out how to post-process and mix.
    Solos were recorded in phrases and best takes used (a technique Ive not used before).
    Vocals were done in four takes - keeping best phrases from each take.

    I enjoyed doing this one!
    Would appreciate any feedback on areas to work on and improve.

    Karma......

    Have finished tinkering with the glitter and sent in my second cover.

    Dirty Honeys Heartbreaker.

    I struggled with the vocal as it was a bit too high for me to do justice (but Id started the project so carried on), had to learn how to use Melodyne properly to correct my straining voice. Will hope to re-record the vocal in the future with more vocal practice, and add my own drums.

    Drums were Superior Drummer 3 playing a converted GuitarPro song tab MIDI file
    Bass was EZBass playing a converted GuitarPro song tab MIDI file
    Rest was me.

    As before any feedback on ways to improve the recording, mixing, audio etc greatly appreciated.
