Im outta time again this morning but I will finish Iistening shortly. Really digging the vibe and the guitar work. I like imagining these tunes sung an octave higher and with a bit of a Zeppelin feel to the vocals. It's something that happens anytime I hear music like this. I would love to be able to sing a version if the music were available. ?

Well, this here is the real backing track for The Battle of Evermore . There are some songs you can get this way. I didn't actually listen to the Floyd side by side but I thought it was a pretty good track. B+? I guess that's pretty good for a Caraoke, but I believe you are being too kind! ? I'm thinking actually I may have been a little flat on the start of the chorus parts. ? Thanks for listening brother, and for giving your feedback!
-
Thanks pal. Yeah I thought that at 3 min it sounded better also. I will try to check out your tunes and give some comments. I literally have almost no free time lately (hence the car recordings. Lol) I'm doing this partially to keep my sanity right now
-
Sorry about that. Maybe I should do "Silent Lucidity" next. Would that make it better? (Just kiddin dude. It's amazing the power songs can have!)
-
Also I mixed this on headphones which is a no no but I had no other option at the time. It was very spontaneous and done mostly for a laugh but I find it interesting that I would be flat as I have sung this many times. Which words do you think we're flat?
-
Actually I can sing a lot higher than this. It's the singing while sitting that gives me the trouble!
-
This once again was recorded in the car via the Bandlab mobile app. Comfortably Numb And this actually might be the original backing track to the song, which I found via YouTube!
-
Thanks Douglas. Yeah the timing and groove on this one are really important. I once sang this at karaoke back when I was an alcoholic and I'm sure I didn't find the groove.

Hey thanks man! Very interesting feedback. I usually tend to imitate too much on covers and on this I was trying not to! Also the Tyler version actually came on the radio just as I was about to park and sing this, which was of course rather trippy, as I had just turned on the radio one song before that.

I did this recording on my Android (top of the line) so I had no need of cables. I wish I had investigated it sooner! I used the Bandlab mobile app. I had to dick around with it a little bit but it is fairly user friendly. You might want to give it a try just for fun! The app has lots of great effects on it.

I did this recording here on my Android (has a nice mic in it) which allows me to see the lyrics up close as I sing. I once tried stuffing a microphone in a small box and surrounded it with socks but it sounded like sht. It is fun to experiment with for sure. Wasn't there something Lennon did with the vocals and a speaker? I don't quite remember what it was.

Wow dude super old school. I never got to use those but I did have the opportunity to use an Amiga for a bit. Nice little machine for it's time.

This time thing is only temporary. In the Bible it mentions that "in heaven there is no reckoning of time" I really enjoyed this track. A lot of great work in there. I feel the chorus/refrain part could use a bit more energy, possibly sung higher. I was wondering how the whole thing would sound if some or all of it we're sung in another octave or with some higher harmonies. I think it is a fun and interesting blues song with a nice warm vibe to it.

Frickin awesome! Also awesome that you seized the day that you had in order to do this, esp after 10 years! ?
-
Dude I'll have to try that soon! Thanks!
-
I love this! Beautiful song and well produced for a first song especially. Good voice also. The lyrics seem to be very positive but I'll have to listen again to catch them all
-
Thanks for your feedback and for the welcome! To record this I sat in the back seat of a Corolla with the windows all rolled up and stretched a blanket across the front seats to block out the front windshield reflections. I once used a folded up mini mattress back there and i think it was better because it completely surrounded my head, but I don't have access to it anymore. I don't like to sing sitting down really, but for anyone who doesnt always have a place where they can record, it's wonderful.

Dude I used to use Cakewalk when it was a sequencer back in 1989! I am hoping to get my actual home studio set up again soon. I just moved to another state and not totally settled in yet!

I used a karaoke YouTube file that I extracted the audio from. Is that ok to post that here?
-
Come Together I recorded this in my car (1 take) with the Bandlab mobile app! The isolation of the vocal seemed to be better than in some rooms I've used
