Another Nirvana Cover

[JD01]

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.

[JD01]

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

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.

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.

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.

[Armistice]

All sounds good to me - I've heard the song, but not a fave of their canon.

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.

Good sounds @JD01

This song fits your voice well. Not familiar with the original, but I like this.

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

Cheers @Armistice

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.

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. Good stuff james.

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.

[Bubba]

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.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind.

Think I'll end up covering all of the In Utero album eventually.

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!
