Recording Challenge #TEN - Video Game Cover

[JD01]

I'm gonna do one of the pieces of music from Cannon Fodder.

[WhiskeyJack]

Though I imagine it’s all for good enjoyable reasons as well!

I work al day then i go play peek a boo with my kid and hang out with him and then i work some more. I guess it's enjoyable but i wouldn't file it under fun or me time.

[Greg_L]

Is anyone else participating in this?

Absolutely but I still gotta finish my pre-60 cover.

Is anyone else participating in this?

I'd like to, but I think I just won't have enough time. If I don't have something by the first week in July, I'm probably missing this one.

I'm still trying to get my pre-60s recording to not suck!

I'm gonna be full-bore on recording after August when I go back to Fri and Sat gigging ...... right now I barely have time to do anything plus my pre-60s cover sucks and I want it to not.

I seriously doubt your pre-60's cover sucks and I sorely wish I had jumped on that bandwagon but. . . snooze you lose. Video games are definitely not my thing, wouldn't even know where to start. Right now, I'm on a bit of a recording (really anything musical) hiatus while we try to get our house ready to sell. There's a ton of work to do and I can't possibly hide in my studio while hubby and friend work their buns off in the blistering heat so. . . hopefully, I'll rejoin everything when the work is done. . .sigh!

I'll be lurking from time to time though

These things aren't time-limited. You can still record an old challenge if you want.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! Once our house is listed, I may have some time.

I've still got your....#4 challenge maybe? It's about 25% finished.

Dang! i don't even remember what that challenge was! Gotta go review that one

Where are you moving to?

Hopefully, moving from Las Cruces to Tehachapi Ca, to be closer to our family there (our new grandson, probably the only grandchild we will have). It's a bit stressful as we have been in this current house for 27 years!! Tehachapi is what we can afford and is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from our son & family. Just want to be a major part of his life.

[JD01]

Is that another desert? Good luck though, I hate moving house.

Okay here's my video game cover......from one of the Tony Hawk Skateboarding games. I think #4.

The memories of playing that game came rushing back immediately lol. Nicely done.

Haha thanks.

I feel like I cheated though. I don't play the video game and have known how to play the song for 35 years.

Ah yes! The eternal conundrum of "do I listen to the in-game music (which is great) or the 8 or 10 Asbestos Records samplers that I've loaded onto the x-box?"

Cheated... maybe. Doesn't matter. Sounds great!

What effect have you got on the vocal during the verse on this? Quiet double track with lots of verb? a long delay. Its cool anyway.

Thanks. I did some unusual (for me) vocal shit for this just for kicks.

It's double tracked, I added a a lot of pre-delay reverb, and then compressed it hard so it squashed the weird reverb into the vocals. Then I added some tape saturation and regular reverb. I thought it sounded fairly interesting so I rolled with it.

Cool - it immediately caught my attention. You know sometimes when you hear songs that have a sung vocal but also like a whispered vocal double tracking over the top. its kind of like that, but sung. Anyway, song sounds great. I still haven't worked out pre-delay.
