I'm assuming everyone's really busy because this is a letter where were spoiled for choice
And remind me next time NOT to pick a song that needs a C5 in the harmony ... please.
1) You CAN change the key from the original, don't be a bellend
2) You cannot really get rid of nasal vocals by quadruple tracking
Hey ho
And a reminder that entries close next Friday
EDIT - didn't realise it had saved as hours and minutes! WTAF??!? Better sort that out then when I get home. And that explains the massive file size... I assumed somehow I'd changed things to an astronomically huge sample rate or something
It's In Brooklyn by Al Stewart, off one of his folk-rock albums that he practically disowned after Year of the Cat. I was reminded of it when my 7 year old was baffled by something being in Fahrenheit and I remembered a similar feeling as a child wondering how it could be "80 degrees in Brooklyn" without everyone exploding. Found it and wanted to work out some of the lead licks. Splitting the track up revealed interesting drum and bass parts and I ended up doing the whole thing.
Anyway, a fairly faithful cover, got the Gretsch out for the electric parts. Any feedback is welcome - I'm new to recording and mixing is a bit of a mystery to me.
I'll admit now that my entry owes a lot (ahem) to the Jeff Buckley cover but I've tried to do a few bits n bobs different including harmonising with myself for the first time ever.
Please forgive the mic pops - as I'm trying to get ready to move house I've got stuff stashed all over the place and I couldn't find a mic stand with the right attachment or a pop filter, so the vocals are me sat at the kitchen table holding a cheap ass SM57 copy.
Edit: somebody here before mentioned I seem to have a lisp when singing and now I cannot unhear it - especially with this one. Arghhhh. I Thall be Releathed
