Rain Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 (edited) I needed something to test the new Apollo so I dug this old demo and re-did the vocals real quick... It's a tiny bit of a fun cover of The Beatles’ Baby’s In Black. Despite their version being on the country side, I've always felt that the lyrics made it kind of goth - a lament for a grieving girl who can’t get over her lost love and dresses in black… So I gothified it, in kind of a theatrical way. It's not mixed and not really properly recorded but I wanted to play around with the Apollo and to test the workflow. (Also, the piano is awful and rigid and over-quantized so my apologies for that.) I never thought something as basic as an audio interface could make such an extraordinary difference but I am absolutely blown away (regardless of the quality of the recording above, which is just a quick test). I regret no getting one of these before. Edited December 16, 2024 by Rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 I figure with the spicy guitars you can do along with your low, Goth voice it might be fun! Of course, it would be a lot better if you had a cute bassist like he did! 😁 Example: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some day I'll dig some of it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 Never heard of the original version so I'm happy to accept this as the way it's meant to sound.😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
