Blades Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) The last cover I did was "Spaceman". Even though this one is not made with Cakewalk like the last one was, it is in the same "space" theme, so I hope you might take a minute (or 4) to take a listen to this. This is a cover tune from a band called "The Tories" called "Spaceships in the Sky". I did a brief writeup on my blog along with the audio as well. I hope you'll give it a listen:https://blades.technology/music/songs/spaceships-in-the-sky Edited February 9, 2021 by Blades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blades Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 I redid a bunch of stuff on this one that was just not sounding right. I added a center guitar, brought the hard panned guitars in for most of the song and automated a few spots to send them back farther left/right, brought the background vocals closer to the center and spread them across the left to right spectrum more rather than them all being in the same spot, cut a little more low on the bass guitar and added a little bit of Red Light Distortion, and cut a little more bottom out of the kick drum. Finally, I changed the export to not dither because it seemed like it was making the overall mix sound different. If you listened before, I'd appreciate another one, but if not, well, hopefully this sounds better than last night's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blades Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 @jack c. - thanks for the listen and the comment. Not sure what the George Michael comment is - but I'll take any comment with his name in it when it's about a song I did and hope for it to have been a compliment! @timboalogo Glad to hear that you liked this and thanks for the comment. The original song by The Tories along with the rest of that album was one of the early 90s gems. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebz Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Great voice, I like your timber. Really nice guitar tones. I did not understand everything (but 85% of it) in the lyrics (maybe you could write them down for non-English speakers), but overall, it sounds pretty good.

Blades Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 @Grebz I did a quick Google and didn't find them, so here you go: Verse 1 Spaceships in the sky Does anyone know if they're real or just a lie I swear just the other night when I walked the dogs what I thought was just a shooting star could have been aliens from a million miles awayVerse 2 Frisbees or pie shells We've seen Trick photography TV shows that sell the the subject of historyVerse 2b for the phenomenon that nobody's sure about The broadcasting news all flying to the bank Bridge Little Green with oversized heads Are they real or make believe?

DeeringAmps Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Enjoyed this a bunch. Nicely performed and mixed, so kudos there. I'm holding back the ?'s though. On 2/6/2021 at 8:46 PM, Blades said: not made with Cakewalk ? t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
