Nice jam. Guitars sound great, vocals are clear, all very well recorded. Good job

The cymbal/hats distortion is likely coming from the room mic that I smashed through a fast 1176 style compressor. I can easily unblend that, maybe keep it for a special occasion. Good tip!

Thanks Rob, great post! "...every element fails my own personal quality threshold" :love: I never had the pleasure of working on old gear that engineers of the 50s 60s and 70s struggled to maintain, the sound quality deteriorating as time went by. Now those old valve compressors and 2 inch...

The vocals are great. The drums need to be more solid so they propel the song along. I think a tighter groove would really lift this. Composition is cool. Guitars sound good.

Yeah it's got a live groove to it. I never heard the original, rockin track. It's well recorded with good energy. Nice job strat, it's a lot of fun doing covers occasionally

I've always loved distortion. Been experimenting recently adding different types of distortion at different stages of the recording. Too much? You be the judge :D

Only 7 tracks, I applaud your minimalist approach. :D Sounds great here. Guitar riffs are very cool. What are you using for drums? Mix is well balanced and clear. No suggestions from me, you must be pretty happy with this one

Cheers Trip. Yeah after @Manslick gave me grief about the underwater vocal I removed a delay and a reverb instance, seems to sit better now. I've put an effect envelope on the drums too, give the vocal some room

I like that warm bass sound, it underpins the other instruments nicely. Pretty funky almost Steely Danesque at times. Cool jam

Mix is not bad. When mixing synths it can helpful to EQ out frequencies that are clashing with other instruments like guitars or the kick. You can also safely hi pass the synth and recover headroom that way

Thanks for the feedback guys, good stuff. I admit I got pretty slap happy with the delays etc. but the original is pretty well drowned as well. You think it's just the choice of delay/reverb I'm using? Normally I mix everything dry as a bone so I don't know what the hell I'm doing with reverb...

Thanks for the spins guys. Normally I end up murdering any cover I attempt but this one turned out ok

LOL yeah personal hygiene is quite underrated. I guess it's like a 50 year old on tinder. All the good ones were snapped up 30 years ago. It's a fun tune. Good luck...the search continues

Thanks Eric. Something about that mix bugged me but I think it's sorted now

Ha. Your version provided the impetus for this one. It's such a classic track and so weird at the same time

Damned with faint praise. But I'll take it! :D It's like the Hippocratic oath: Firstly do no harm. I've had 2nd thought about the drums, they were a bit too bombastic so they've been stripped back. Balance is better now methinks

The guitar could maybe be pushed back and the vocals pulled forward a little, not a lot in it. Are they the virtual backing lady singers you've engaged?

Ha! Good version. I didn't sense anything untoward with the snare choice. Let's hear you do a version of Slip Kid :)

Been mulling over trying a cover version of the David Essex classic Rock On and Lazerbeakshiek's thread got me motivated. The track is so weirdly cool. For a start how can you have a song called Rock On with no drums or guitars? Anyway I tried to stay close to the original ethos, within the...

That's not bad! Was thinking of trying a version of this one myself. Just googled & Def Leppard & Pumpkins have covered it. Who knew?
