Hello guys & gals,

This is my first post to Andy Sneap forum. I'm an amateur home musician practicing and learning about mixing and mastering. I usually make cover songs to practice m & m but i also have my own songs as well. In a few years, i plan to build my own commercial studio but i still need improvements on my talents, so i keep practicing and practicing :)

I recorded a cover version of "The Dreamreader" from Nightingale. This is the outcome --> http://rapidshare.com/files/264135882/Burak_-_The_Dreamreader__Nightingale_cover_.mp3

I hope you guys like it !

Please make comments about the cover, the mix and the mastering, so i can improve the quality of the song and my capabilities of mixing & mastering. Looking forward to your feedback :)

All vocals & guitars by me, and the rest is some time-consuming MIDI work. I tabbed the whole song by listening, so there may be some little differences with the original "The Dreamreader"

This is the equipment list :

Epiphone Les Paul Custom tuned in Db standart with 0,10 strings
Pod XT Live for the amp simulation
keFIR vst for the impulse to simulate cabs
MXL v67i condenser mic
Presonus Audiobox USB soundcard
ESI nEar06 monitors

Cubase SX3
Broomstick Bass vst Fender Jazz Bass samples
EZ Drummer vst
lots of vst compressor and EQ plugins

my mastering chain :

EQ
Multiband Compressor
Multiband Harmonic Exciter
Multiband Stereo Imager
Limiter
