Ross Smithe Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) What started as my keyboard/vocal cover has evolved into this full band reproduction of this classic song! Amazing additions by my friends over on Bandlab... Fabian Bono (@fabass2020) on bass, Ross Manariti (@ross_man) on guitar, and Craig Clontz (@craigclontz) on drums. I recorded my parts in Cakewalk, they posted their stuff through BandLab, and I brought it into CW to mix and master. Enjoy!

Martin Bannet Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Woah! Great song to cover and a great cover of the song! Pretty solid mix - I hear everything! Busy and interesting but in a great way! Super voice to do the piece too! Not much I could suggest to change at all! A mix (especially mine) could always be better, but I've spent years not getting one project finished due to lack of objectivity. That's my problem. I'd not touch this unless it's going to a pro studio/producer for eval. Just splendid! Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have really been enjoying doing more collaboration lately. Definitely a challenge though mixing parts that were tracked in a variety of ways and means. So glad if everything was clear and balanced!

steve@baselines.com Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 You got some of the good ones from Bandlab there. Nice work. I like how that guitar comes in at the end and mixes in with the synth. Good work by all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
