Recording challenge #2 (Theme Song Cover)

[Bubba]

As for my own submission, it's going to be a couple of months before I can get to it. I dismantled most of my studio yesterday in preparation to have open houses next weekend. So I'm going to be guitarless/bassless/MIDIless/micless until I get set up in the new house. I already miss all of my gear, and it's only been a day.

What the hell? You LITERALLY only just moved house! Is the CIA after you?

They'll never take me alive!!!

Yeah, as of today we've been in this house just a few days over 2 years. This move has been a whirlwind. It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing. My wife is very unhappy with her commute to work (she changed jobs since we moved into this house) and the new house's location cuts her commute in half. 2 weeks ago we weren't even looking to move, but she found this place and by the end of that week we were under contract, pre-approved for a loan, and making preparations to sell our current place. Kinda makes my head spin!

Happy Wife happy life they say. My Mrs Has put the heat on me for an ETA to get out of Alberta. She wants to move home to be closer to family so i need to start considering all that. It is also making my head spin.

Congrats on the new house though Tad.

LOL good one, Turtle

Thanks. Hope all goes well, moving(the physical act of it) can be drag.

Cool man, especially the vocals!!! Definitely a classic funny movie too...Good job!!!

Thanks Miner!

Just got around to listening to this properly at home.
Its a really excellent recording - great vocal.

Not familiar with the film or the song - but it sounds good.

Thanks JD, you should check out the movie some time. It is hilarious and a classic.

Alright, here is mine.

This was pretty fun finding sounds for this. I ended up using my midi keyboard for the piano sounds but I couldnt get it to work like a regular keyboard, like the note definition was weird, so ended up comping the fuck out of it, which I typically dont like to do. The string/synth sounding line that accompanies it is a guitar. I even busted out my bell kit(mini xylophone thing)

I intended to learn the "solo" melody part for the bridge, but as it turns out I'm not a good enough guitar player to learn by ear, ao I played something else. I even found a video of a dude doing a metal version but I still couldnt figure out wtf he was playing

It took for fucking ever to track to main guitar lick, its pretty easy actually but playing it a million times in a row is deceptively hard. My wife said she thought I was playing some creepy shit and I told her she was totally right!

I used the original as my guide track to play the drums to then built it all from there. 6 guitar tracks, 1 keyboard track, 1 bells track and 7 drum tracks. I had to do a lot of copying of tracks to add the effects to the drums and fucking around with eq and shit, like the intor is two different parts cut and pasted in in reverse.

Anyways, this was really fun.

Man that's great liver! I'd forgotten all about that show and it's a good job on a cool choice to cover. Well done.

Thanks man! I spent way too much time mixing it, trying to get the sound of the reverb on the drums just right. There are like 3 different reverb types on different tracks haha. I got close enough.

[liv_rong]

I had to put this one on the YouTube

That. Is. Awesome. Bravo man. I can't even start to pick it apart mix wise because all the pieces combined for an end result to be that song impresses me to no end. Good job man. That was freaking enjoyable.
