Another Nirvana Cover
Another Nirvana Cover
Don't get much time to record, so I record songs I know how to play well! Transposed this down to Gm and put the bass in Drop D.

Pretty good James.
I like the original & I like your version.
No complaints or nits from me.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
Cheers, Ray. In Utero is probably my favourite album ever, I'll probably end up covering the whole thing.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
I can hear the click before the choruses when you kick the overdrive on. Is that an edit point or the actual pedal switching over?
Mix overall sounds good.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
That's the channel switch on the amp, or might be a pedal if its on the ES135 side of the mix, one side is a LP Jr into my clean/crunch channel. The other side is an ES135, but cos its lower gain the "clean" sound is on the crunch channel and the distortion is with a Klon on top. Or it might be that the Klon is the clean sound and then I switch to the overdrive channel. Can't remember.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 11:23 am I can hear the click before the choruses when you kick the overdrive on. Is that an edit point or the actual pedal switching over?

I might redo the bassline - there's a little more to it than that my version. But I only had two hours to record and mix it. Like all of these early 90s mixes the bass is doing quite a lot melodically but you can barely fucking decipher it in the mix. I've mixed the bass way louder.
Re: Another Nirvana Cover
All sounds good to me - I've heard the song, but not a fave of their canon.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
right on man. not a bad sounding mix and arrangement. I am hearing wat VHS is hearing. It is pretty obvious something is switching gears. At that point. I don't think i have any nits on the mix at this point and i better not comment as i do have one hell of a ringing in my ears from who knows what.
Which side if your new guitar on?
Hearing this makes me realize how far away in my historic timeline i actually listened to this record last.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
Good sounds @JD01
This song fits your voice well. Not familiar with the original, but I like this.

Cheers though Shan, this is probably one of the few albums that I've not stopped listening to.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
The original is actually a bit on the high side, the high note in the chorus is now a D# which I hit relatively comfortably.musicturtle wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 8:58 pm Good sounds @JD01

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
Right on. If it is the one on the right you did a good job capturing that. I find sometimes hollow bodies have a very distinct tone and i feel i can pick them out straight away but this was a bit of a challenge. it doesn't have that hollow body overtone out front and obvious.

I might give the Nirvana Library a spin today it has been a good long while and my other good buddy from high school was on me to see if our Nirvana graffiti was still visible in our home time while i was on holidays.
It was not.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
This sounds great, JD. For me, I think I would enjoy your originals more if they were perhaps less complex and more stripped-down, like this. Good stuff.

Re: Another Nirvana Cover
Just finally having a chance to catch up on some music here. This is really well done! Nirvana really suits your voice and I really like your drum treatment. . . I'm working on a cello quartet version of Heart Shaped Box and have added drums, I need to emulate the eq you have on your drums. Hmm, guess I'll get back to it!
Good job, I enjoyed listening to this!
