Really? Aw thanks man. That's a surprise...usually they're the weak link. Dude on the original has the highest male singing voice I've heard shy of Michael Jackson, so this was arguably a stupid choice for me.musicturtle wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 9:45 pm @heatmiser really nice.
Your vocals sound great. Really like the effects you have on the vocals.
Ha, I am not familiar with this song or group for that matter. I will have to look it up.heatmiser wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 10:04 pmReally? Aw thanks man.

- Double tracked, lows rolled off, heavily compressed, lots of reverb with a longish predelay and a light phaser. Thanks again.
Really good dude. Love that bass sound. Well done man and good to hear something from you again.heatmiser wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 7:14 pm Ok, so here's my attempt.
To heighten the challenge I chose a behringer C-2 SDC (one half of a $60 matched pair of overheads lol).
I haven't used this mic in years - back when I had a drum kit, and I don't think I've ever used it for anything else.
I decided to do a cover since I didn't feel like writing a song (hope that's ok). This is "Yes, I'm Changing" by Tame Impala.
Results are mixed, but it was super fun to do, and I'm glad that this challenge got me motivated to try some new things.
Haha! Thanks. It was kinda fun starting from scratch and adjusting the amount of pennies and stuff. I put more time into that than I care to admit. Works ok for a simple beat like this I think, but wouldn't really hold up where a bigger sound is required...although...if I used two mics...?
Yeah I said earlier in this thread, I spent hours in my garage finding the right sounds for my "drums"heatmiser wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 3:49 pm @Greg_L Thanks Greg! Glad you think it sounds good. Maybe SDC's are better for bass guitar than I thought?
@CrowsofFritz Thank you Crows!

That's right! You set the bar pretty high there. That was kind of inspiring.musicturtle wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 4:40 pmYeah I said earlier in this thread, I spent hours in my garage finding the right sounds for my "drums"
All good man. I am not a big fan of carbon copy covers as it is. I like when people throw their own flavor into something and i think you did it some some solid work.heatmiser wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 4:19 pmThat's right! You set the bar pretty high there.

@WhiskeyJack Thank you! I think I agree about the acoustic guitars. I don't even think there are any guitars in the original, so not sure why I felt compelled to add them here. I think I was just trying to throw as many instruments as possible at this mic.
I seem to have the gobs if I can devote who knows how long to adding and removing pennies from atop an empty paint can.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 5:32 pmI may have to chuck a cover at this little challenge i don't have the gobs of free time i probably should for times like this. We shall see.
Just got around to listening to this and I think its brilliant. As others have said, I love the bass sound, its really unique and suits what you've done here.heatmiser wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 7:14 pm Ok, so here's my attempt.

Everything sits well. Nice job!JD01 wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 8:43 am OK, here's my attempt at the one mic recording challenge.
My mic is an AKG C1000S, so its a half decent condenser.
Reason for this mic choice is that I like the sound of it on my acoustic guitar so that meant I had to make it work on my electric guitar and bass too.
I'm guessing the mic was about 30 - 50cm off the front of my cab - I didn't really spend any time considering placement.
I just left the mic where it was an plugged my bass straight into my guitar amp to record the bass - I didn't bother fiddling with any settings.
Hand percussion is a shaky egg and tambourine from a child's percussion set.
Haven't written any lyrics, maybe I will at some point.
