This is the product of another Harmony Central coverfest - a 70s one :) The vocals, bass, mixing and mastering were done by a user on Guitar Jam called Prages, awesome singer and he knows his way around cubase it would seem!
Guitar was my usual setup of Epi LP Custom into a Keeley Rat set for a light boost, then GH50L, G12H cab and SM57. Sounds quite good considering I'm still using onboard soundcard :) For the rhythms, one track is bridge pickup, the other is middle with the neck volume slightly rolled off. First solo is bridge, then the main one is neck. Made a few bum notes on the main solo but I'm quite pleased with it overall.
Oh yeah and the drums were programmed in Reaper with EZDrummer plugin - took bloody ages to do it all from scratch!
edit - mix has been updated with less reverb and more backing vocals at the end.

ARRRGGHHHH I hate that song ......
The guitar playing does sounds really good though - great fingers and superb tone :D
-
haha its really grown on me, its such a good pop-rock song, really catchy :)
-
Rockin'! I actually love this song. But it does happen to be the only song I know by the Knack. One hit wonder is still a wonder.
-
Great tone on this tom and also nice playing.
Did you do the drums yourself?
you got a very good sound there.

They had another catchy song called Good Girls Dont. Other than that I dont know any of their stuff.
Transcend yeah I did the drums myself, programmed in Reaper and used EZDrummer as the vst instrument.

one of your best clip ever! well done!!
-
Arrrgggggghhhhh, damn you for getting that song in my head!!!!!
Great job by the way!! :lol:
-
Nice one Tom I love this song you did really well man, rock on dude!
-
Arrrgggggghhhhh, damn you for getting that song in my head!!!!!
Great job by the way!! :lol:
haha thanks, it is annoyingly catchy! I'm doing another Harmony Central coverfest soon, 80s this time so expect something cheesy like Bon Jovi or some Michael Jackson :P
-
COOL :D
Great soloing dude!! damn.
-
That sounds like a really pro cover to me.
-
Thanks :) I made a few little mistakes in the solo which annoyed me but I'm too lazy and inconsistent to re-record :P
-
Great stuff Tom, very well played! :D
-
sounds great, makes me wanna get a keeley RAT now, it's always been my favourite overdirve/distortion pedal, it sounds so raw. Nice tone there Tom!
-
I keep meaning to congratulate you on this clip when you get online, but I keep forgetting!
Awesome stuff. You've improved a lot since i 'met' you, which is more than can be said for me.

Link gone??

Its still there as an attachment in the first post. Well it is for me anyway.
-
Nice one tom, backing is awesome too.
What is your recording set up though? I know you have a mic into your sound card, is that it? Wondering if it was that simple.
-
Yeah it is :lol: SM57 with an XLR-1/4" jack into the onboard sound on my motherboard! I keep saying I'll get a good interface but never get round to it. I have a job now so I might actually be able to afford one soon.. I dont have a mic stand yet either :D
-
Sounds good though, might invest in a mic. I'm sick of coming up with a cool riff or song on my electrics, but having to set up garageband and grab my acoustic to record and send to bandmates. Tis a plan forming, yes!
