cover of Goodbye (Beatles-McCartney)

Post by cfMC » Fri Nov 12, 2004 2:11 pm

here's my cover of the Paul McCartney circa White Album outtake "Goodbye":

http://cfmceroz.com/audio0002/goodbye.html

did this on MBox. I tried a new live-recording mic combo (audio technica condensor on vocals, Oktava 319 on guitar), then used protools EQ & compressor plugins on each track. it's probably my best live acoustic recording yet so I think I will run with this combo for a while. it took me like 3 days to approximate this fingerpicking. living room recording is a constant challenge--between street noise, my wife doing stuff, tryin to remeber the song I just learned, and also watching the mac since the #2 channel on my mbox has this tendency to just crap out right in the middle of a take... sometimes I say the hell with it and end up with stuff that has the microwave or telephone going in the background,but this time I got lucky

Sounds good, I never heard this song. Hmm... I need to find the outtake of it somewhere.

holy crap dude - your voice! you could make a living out of playing elliot smith covers. you should cover "twilight" off his last record they just put out. that would be just haunting.

great recording too!

I really enjoyed that song. Nice touch you put on it. Let's hear some more.

Cheers,

OK here's a cover of Twilight

I'm doing covers just now to practice recording/playing the $199 chinese drum kit I got at the guitar center grand re-opening sale in SF. after 20 years of guitars and whatnot it is a lot of fun to play the drums, even though I suck

Any kick on the Elliot Smith track? Try the 319 on it. I've used one a few times and it sounds cool

actually for this I used the same 2 mics, the AT4033 between the snare & the hi hat, and the MK319 between the crash and the mounted tom. plus I used another couple of oktavas, the MK1201 on the floor tom and an MK219 on the kick.

space is a premium in my living room so I have stuffed the whole kit face first into a corner, which I'm sure doesn't help the sound but does let me get setup and not have to tear down every time. plus the kit is surrounded by our couch on one side and my stack of stereo and amps on the other, which kind of baffles the kick. I dunno. I'm tryin to strike a lazy balance between sounds that satisfy me, and not pissing my neighbors off

I draped the MK219 off the mounted tom and taped it to the wall in front of the kick, and taped the MK1201 to a leg of the floor tom and angled it back up at the bottom of it. I mixed in a behringer eurorack802A to tweak gains, EQ and pan everything for the two inputs on the MBox.
