performance doesn't equal tone oh young skywalker :)

I know that Darth ( :confused: )

The tone is bad, and the performance is bad aswell

Although, when he's retracking with a better tone, it'll be a different performance, unless he's re-amping.

The lead sounds messy, VERY amateurish.
 
dear oh dear...well he can play ten times better than me so Ill leave it at that...
 
No offense man, but this is horrible. The sound of EVERYTHING is really bad. The guitar playing is choppy and amateurish, the singing is un-inspired. I guess it's mixed well, but does it really matter if the sounds you're mixing are that bad?

Is there perhaps a medical reason you're not hearing this as well as you otherwise might?

I've mentioned that before to 60's Guy. It was a legitimate question at the time, and it still is now.
 
I have read the responses, something I usually don't do..but I did..so that said..

This is why covers can be such a bitch..sometimes you can do them up just as the original artist..sometimes you can take 'em and make 'em your own..sometimes ya can't.

I've heard a lot worse..from myself firstly..:D




I think what Llarion said, sums it all up best, so no need to add.

"Factory Towns and a Tired Heart" I know this isnt the song you asked about, but it was on your soundclick page, and I love this song. Agree with everything already said about your mix. Good song though.

Thanks for the compliment. Factory Towns and a Tired Heart is a recording of my nephew Jameson on guitar and vocal and myself on bass guitar that I recorded here a few years ago. I added some harp to it. Thank God I mixed it together before my ears went to shit!:D

In Randy's defense, he is very much an amateur, at everything. :D

I used to be a professionial long before you were born, but now I'm just old........really old. ;)

I should have known better but I really screwed up when I mixed this mess with HEADPHONES.

I know. It seems like a cop out excuse, but it's the truth. The overall mix sucks beacuse I mixed and monitored with headphones.

The lead guitar tone, however, sucked, because it sucked originally.

I fucked up. :o

Shit happens.

Rami,

You're right. No offense taken about my guitar playing but are you suggesting that I re sing it also? It's a ballad. Should I sing it with some of pissed off attitude? I didn't hear that within Gary Moore's voice. Maybe I missed it. :confused:

I refuse to believe that I can't record a cover tune and somehow make it my own. I am Hell bent and determined to record my own version of "Still Got The Blues" with a bit a bit of help from the MP3 Clinic and approval from Greg_L. ;)
 
I rather like the vocals Randy! Don't take this the wrong way, but they sorta remind me of the way Cash delivers on the Rick Rubin stuff. Nothing fancy, no over-singing, very genuine. From a mix perspective, I'd be inclined to nudge them back a bit or cut the reverb back a little...just my 0.2c.

What guitar did you play the lead on? Tis very brittle alright, especially at the turn-around. I think you can nail these tones by thowing a LP in the neck position and rolling the tone way back. On the other hand the clean guitar sounds good, as do those string samples! What are they as a matter of interest?

Think the drum samples are lacking a little in dynamic range.

Hey Tele!

How are you doing these days? Long time no see from.

I tried recording the lead guitar with a couple of different guitars. The latest lead guitar recording (that you listend to) was recorded with a Washburn WI-66PROG which is Washburn's verison of a Les Paul with P90 pickups and and the Buzz Fieten system.

It's a great guitar, but the pups suck.

There's no doubt in my mind that that I never should have given my LP to my daughter.

I used that LP on a few other recordings and I can HEAR the difference.

:mad::(

This song needs an LP with EMGs perhaps?

I dont know what you were going for with the guitar tone at the start of the song, but personally i would have gone with something less drastically eq'd and a little warmer and creamier. It just sounds kind of razor thin.
