Hey everyone, here's another cover, this one of Beach Boys - God Only Knows. Feel free to criticize anything about it - the performance, the recording, the mixing, etc. Just wanting to get feedback in general.
Couple of things:
a) I wanted to have a strange-sounding intro - kind of a reharmonization of the original intro. Other than that, the harmonies/melodies for the rest of the song are pretty much true to the original. I did want to change up the instrumentation though, especially because it'd be impossible to recreate the lush instrumentation of Pet Sounds.
b) Towards the end of the song, in the right speaker, I'm getting some plosives on the mic. I was using a pop filter so I'm not sure what happened...I need to rerecord that part.
c) At the very end there's some creaking noises. It's not your chair, it's a squeaky vibraphone pedal Unfortunately that was my favorite take on the vibes, so I decided to just keep it even with the creaking.
Thanks for listening!
