I remember this song well.  I like the way you captured the sound and feel of his vocals so well.  The tone sounds a little thin to me, but it sounds appropriate.  As usual, your choice of songs is fantastic!

This was like a truly magical time in my young life - discovering what great songs the AM radio was playing...rebelling against old folks, which I guess I am now 🙂 - still rebelling though, I just don't know against what anymore LOLOL.

Love that guitar.  And the vocal harmonies are really interesting.  Great song.

This song released in 1965 - here's my cover version. @kiwichrys from Bandlab on the high harmony.

Wow, your website version seems to have more dynamic range and punch to it.  A good song is even better!  Evidently Drooble is like many other online music services that run uploaded songs through a compressor.

I very much enjoyed reading your story on your Drooble webpage.  I also like your musical taste.

Hey thanks Jim - appreciate the feedback.

I had the pleasure of seeing the tribute band, 1964, in the early eighties.  The performance was in a college student center nightclub that held perhaps 200 people so the performance was up close and personal.  The visuals were spot on and the sound perfect.  During intermission the audience was invited to come up to look at the equipment and chat with the mates! I have been a big fan of the band ever since.

The Analogues is a Dutch tribute band.  I've watched YouTube videos of their Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road and White Album performances.  They set a high bar performing studio albums live.  Hopefully they will bring their show to the southern part of the US.  I'd love to see the act.  YouTube has a wonderful 60 minute documentary of the Analogues recreating Magical Mystery Tour.  You can see it here:  https://youtu.be/B5aD87iJikg

 

I recently was turned on to the Analogues because of their White Album video on You Tube.  Stellar, top notch.

Great job.  Good rhythm, tight.  Love the song.  Melodyne 5 is worth the upgrade.

Very nice rendition.   You followed the original arrangement pretty close but still managed to put your imprint on the song.  I liked the song so much I downloaded it.  I was surprised to discover the file format is MP4 instead of MP3.  May I ask why?

Thanks a bunch Jim!

That is strange.  It's the first time I linked through Drooble - they must do some sort of conversion.  I uploaded a WAV.  I usually link to my website, but I guess this link was in my cache at the time.  Here is the link to the website version.  https://baselines.com/?p=5613

Steve, you have a way of making these songs fresh!  You capture the feel of the original and give it your own twist.  Carry on!!!

Thanks a lot Lynn!

WOW.

You even nailed the vocal EQ to capture that 60's U47 tone with just a touch of tube grit. Please consider tackling some of the lesser-covered tracks from that album, such as You Won't See Me or Wait.

Thanks man - I really try to get as many of the parts as I can correct.  I put a touch of Waves REEL ADT on the background vocals.  You just have to be careful not to overuse that one, but for the Beatles vocals it sometimes helps.

Steve you just keep you nailing these covers - another great job. You are a brave man taking on Beatles stuff - hat's off to you fella - well done. Andy

Hey thanks Andy!  I really appreciate the feedback.  I'm a Beatles fan from the beginning.  

Here's a cover of the great old Beatles song Girl, from Rubber Soul in 1965.

Whatever suits you best mate.

Great - I just sent you an invite.  I put up all the BUSS outputs.  I muted the MASTER and ALLVOX.  ALLVOX gets fed VOX1 and VOX2.

Thank a lot - can't wait to hear what you do.

HI Steve.
I would love to have a go at mixing the tracks.
Its great for learning curve and different styles.

Cool - if I put the tracks in a Bandlab project and send an invite, can you get them?  Or is there a better way?

Nice track with good vocals.

We all paint different pictures...  but to me it sounds very dull  (middle)
I am sure a lot more depth could be found in this track and bring out the dynamics more.

Well done.

Thanks for the suggestion Gary - I'm gonna have to go back and listen again.  When I mixed and Mastered, it looked good in Tonal Balance Control.  But maybe it deserves another try!  Appreciate all types of feedback, so keep it coming!   If you are at all interesting in giving it a shot, I'm more than happy to share the tracks.

🙂

Good job on this cover - I always liked this song. I thought the mix sounded pretty good to my ears.

Thanks for the comment Douglas.  Kiwichrys is a great vocalist.

Bandlabs @kiwichrys sings and @the_m_project on guitars.  I play the other stuff and produced.

This is a song written by Cocobark on Bandlab - She sings and provided acoustic guitar and a beat.  I added keys and bass and drums and produced.

Check out Coco - she's cool and from Houston.
