Cover of a Cars tune

[Simman]

In light of the "New" Cars, here's a cover of the old tune, Candy-O.

 

[Dogman]

That's pretty wild...I really like it. I haven't heard that one in a while, but this is very cool.

ThanKs man!

Quick list of some of the gear

Ghost 32ch mixer; Alesis HD-24 (I gotta get another one of these ); Focusrite VoiceMaster on vocals, Vocal mic was a very modified Apex 460; Octopre on drums; Effects are a combination of Lexicon (MPX 200, MPX110) and TC electronics. Compressors; none on main vocal, VLA on bass, combination of Symtrex & DBX on drums.

All Guitars were track from a V-Amp pro . All keyboards were vintage Korg stuff from the 80s

I'd love to hear'ya do some old Ringo songs!

(based on your voice/tone).....................

Something tells me that whatever cover you chose to produce, it would sound just awesome. Keep rolling stuff out like that & I have all the time in the world to listen!

Btw,...

I like the Cars and Candy O is probably my most favorite Cars' song.

I think you nailed it.

 

[queepy]

Candy-O is also my fav from The Cars!Always wanted to do this one....Man , you nail it on the vocals...love all the freaky synth noises, great guitar solo...just like the original !This rocks man...Great job!!!!!

 

[Simman]

Variaxman, thanks for the kind words. The song went together fairly fast (except my partner said the arpeggiator was a b@$ch ). The keyboards were stuff we had from back in the eighties so; those sounds are pretty much canned.

 

[Monkey Allen]

That sounds good. Nice equipment list too

Hi

Your cover of Candy-O is very well done. I was a big Cars fan and it was nice to hear that song again.

Nice work.

Thanks, it was a fun song to do.

Wow, you nailed all the parts so well! Guitar solo was right on-all the parts. Cool 80's synthe parts sure brought to mind some of those old video game effects sounds too!

 

[Rick Shepherd]

Wow Simman, you nailed that one just right, love that! I still dig The Cars! Nice job!

I have to give my partner an the kudos for the guitar & synth parts; he did a hell of a job.

I would like to thank everyone that took the time to listen and comment. I really do appreciate it. Thanks.
