woz70 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Got a little bored the other day, so I kept myself busy for a few hours with this cover version of Royal Orleans. Drums are programmed, everything else is me! No vocals.... can't do everything. Enjoy...http://snd.sc/1giEVeF Quote
Matjaz1 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It's really good, the sound of the guitars is really close too! And it's nice that you know how to programme drums well, even if at certain places they are not exactly like in the original! Bonzo was tricky! This songs on Presence are really complex, although I always considered this more of a jam, than a song! The vocals are the weakest of all the songs on the album and Robert said it's the weakest album vocally, of them all! So you not singing vocals is not that important! Quote
Ugra Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Fantastic tone! Great playing as well. I love presence. Its my fav album. Well done. Quote
woz70 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks guys. There are a few tricks to the tone.... there's far less distortion than you think, and he's rarely got the volume on his guitar up full - it's usually at about 7 or 8 - just loud enough to push the distortion on the amp. If you watch him playing he's constantly fiddling with the volume knob. Any requests for a follow-up ? Quote
Matjaz1 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It's quite obvious he doesn't have that much distortion, although less obvious sometimes, like in Communication breakdown! I don't know how often he uses the volume knob, but he looks cool even doing that! Requests? How about Since I've been loving you? Or perhaps The Rover, as I might be disappointed with programmed drums on SIBLY, I think rarely someone can do them right!! Quote
Glyn Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Awesome cover. What do you use to program the drums? I'd like to put together some covers but I can't do the drums. Quote
Ugra Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Would love to hear you cover achilles last stand. But as matjaz said automated drums would kinda not give the same feel. But the drums in this one did sound great. But that tone of yours is absolutely fantasic! Quote
woz70 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Awesome cover. What do you use to program the drums? I'd like to put together some covers but I can't do the drums. Thank you! It was all done on logic X, with BFD 2.0. Ludwig kit (of course ) Would love to hear you cover achilles last stand. But as matjaz said automated drums would kinda not give the same feel. But the drums in this one did sound great. But that tone of yours is absolutely fantasic! Achilles is a bit on the long side (I chose Orleans because it's nice and short, and I only had a few hours to spare), and I'd also need an 8-string bass to really do it justice. And... that bass line is a killer to play. If I'd spent a little more time and effort on the drums, (and not told you they'd been programmed!) I think you'd have had a hard time knowing they weren't real. Thanks for the props on the tone.... the guitar's a '69 or '70 Gibson Les Paul deluxe, the one with the mini-humbuckers. Quote
jabe Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Great work, woz70! My request is "Candy Store Rock". Quote
