FTFD Cover

[LeoBurgg]

Hey guys, here's my attempt at Strange Faces by FTFD.
Everything is performed and mixed by myself. Keep in mind, I'm not a vocalist in anyway. This is my first real attempt at singing haha.
Guitars are Podfarm, Bass is Studio Devil blended with a distorted signal.
Drums are S2.0 with samples on the kick and snare.
Vox were recorded with an SM57, and they are processed a good bit.
I also mastered it using the loudness maximizer in Ozone and Gclip. Tell me what you think. Thanks!

Not bad man!

The only problems were the kick and guitar. The kick sounds too programmed, and not punchy-ish. It sounds kinda like a tick-clack. Maybe layer it with a thud sounding kick.

The guitar tone kinda sounds a bit too digital on some points.

Other than that. I really like it.

 

[sockerbeat]

I think this is very good job man!
And yes the kick was a little bit to ticky sound so make it just a little bit more punchy and rounded.
The guitar did i like very much, what are u using on the guitar more than Pod farm?

The song was very good done, could be funny sometimes with the vocal ;D

Peace!

Chill your shit dude.


That was a pretty modest comment, if you ask me. If it hurts is ears, then it does.

 

[shredder10]

oh come on! it's a cool attempt dudes

 

[NSGUITAR]

I agree! I think it sounds fine, but I hate when people try to pick fights on a forum...

 

[shredder10]

thing is, that this cover has a weird robot-like sound to it.
It's so unnatural! But it's a good starting point for the overall tone imho.

 

[Tommy Gun]

I agree. I left this forum for about a year until recently, because of shit like that. We're all here to help one another. Neither of those comments were polite or productive.

To the OP: +1 to the above suggestions on the kick. But, regardless, great job so far.

I think this is an awesome job man. Few of us have the balls to post covers with vocals too. Post them stems and let me and the boys have fun with it?!

FTFD ? Franklin Township Fire Department?

Fuck off, dude.

As if I didn't see this golden egg, seems people aren't allowed opinions these days haha,

Jeez what a dick

LeoBurgg it sounds pretty good IMO except the snare. It really hurts my ears.

By the way what guitar you used?

 

[kernelxsanders]

sounds pretty good but im not feelin the kick/snare. i like the lower vocals though. sounds like old BYD, which is my style. keep it up and nice job for your first attempt at vox \m/

 

[sk8ersick666]

not bad at all, the drums sound too "tiny" for my taste though, especially for music like this. Maybe play around with some reverbs or parallel compression?

sounds good though
