The Raven - a cover version.
Hi everybody. another cover version from me. Better than not recording anything at all, maybe?
I played all the instruments and sang on this.
Recording details:
Drums: Slate drums
Bass guitar: 1978 Fender precision recorded through a Marshall JVM 100w head
Lead guitars: 1996 Fender USA standard Telecaster recorded through Marshall JVM and Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120
Hammond Organ: HANONB70 (free VSTI by LostIn70s)
Main Synths: Oberheim OB-Xa emulation OB-Xd (free VSTI by Disco DSP) on "Rubber Clav" patch, and an edited version of the "Saw Lead" patch.
Recording software: Reaper, by Cockos industries
Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 18i20
Cheers, hope you enjoy.
Bubba

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
nice .... mix is tidy ..... like all the sounds and I really like all the synths.
Not familiar with the original but this is pretty damned cool

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
Been wondering when you'd get yer sorry arse back here with this one...
Great work - I'm getting a new appreciation for The Stranglers from these covers. What's next? You're going to have to do the whole album now...

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
I've long enjoyed the melody on this one and it hasn't changed with this version.
There are just a couple of sibilant bits that jump out.
Nice groove to the bass playing.
The keyboard emulations sound great the way you've played them.
COOL>
Oh, my grand niece is named Raven...three years old an loves black.

Nice, I really like the mix here. The synth outro is very cool.
Re: The Raven - a cover version.
Just listening to this again now, sounds great - particularly the bass.
Also, I'd not heard the original before - yours is better. Its just got more balls.

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
You did another one from this album a while back, right?
Mix-wise, I think the left synth and right guitar could come up a bit, especially during the intro.

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
I don't know that i ever listened to Stranglers ever. Here i was thinking it was the band that did the song called Stranded, but that was The Saints. I don't think I'll go nose diving into the original and just enjoy a Bubba recording as it is. I like the guitar work over there on the right. Kinda surfy sounding. Quite like that.
I don't think i have anything to commit to nit picking really. Good Show Bubbs.

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
I'm sort of amazed that the Stranglers didn't gain a foothold over in north America, apparently.
Obviously they're English but they had a few hits over here as well, and there's nobody who doesn't know Golden Brown.

Re: The Raven - a cover version.
Cheers for the listen, Shan. They were regularly in the charts over here for 15 years or so, and had a huge dedicated and fanatical following at the time. They are largely forgotten, now. Odd, really.WhiskeyJack wrote: βWed Aug 09, 2023 12:47 am I don't know that i ever listened to Stranglers ever.
