Carrie Underwood - Blown Away Cover

I uploaded this a while back, only with instrumentals. For whatever reason, it isn't letting me edit that post. Here it is again, only with vocals this time! Let me know what you think of it!



Thanks a lot!

I really like this. The vocal is perfect, so work around that. I feel the bass is eq'd way too high and lacks balls. I also think the piano is often frenetic and pointless. I think this can be pared back quite a lot and become an even more powerful song.

The vocal to my ear requires some de essing, I like your performance of the vocal but there is a shrill noise coming off s sounds and a few others. Through my monitors the bass sounded fairly tight, but much of the other sounds seemed bordering on harsh by a small amount.
Good stuff.

Thanks to both of you for your input and suggestions. I played around with the EQ on the bass track to (hopefully) give it some more balls. It's kind of hard for me to mix bass well, as I lack proper monitors. I mix only on my cans, and then play it on my 5.1 surround to act as "monitors". I also pulled back the keys and strings quite a bit during the chorus'. I did some major de-essing on the vocals. Let me know what you think of the changes! Again, thanks a ton!

If you are at all interested in seeing this MP3 with the video to go along with it... Here's the link. I'm the drummer/guitarist, the vocalist is my cousin-in-law.
