Pain of Salvation coversong

I like it, great job!! I really do need to check out PoS now I think!!

Wow, good job for a home mix. That's one of my favorite POS songs, so it was cool to here it a bit differently. I think your voice is fine - some parts could've been a bit stronger - but it works.

Vocals are very subjective - for example, Dream Theater. Lots think his voice works with it, lots think he's a horrible vocalist.

Great job!

 

[Skaldir]

That's a pretty fantastic home-mix dude. Your voice has good timbre and I think with a bit of work on pitch and delivery, you'll have a very powerful thing going.

Lowest point of the song to me is the solo. I may just be nitpicking because I'm getting to be neurotic as a guitarist, but I think it's important to work on pitch when it comes to those bends and vibratos and just the phrasing of the solo in general.

But overall man, it's very nice. Good job.

I'm really happy you guys like it that much!!

I know, the solo sucks. I actually haven't really composed it and that is hearable. I made loop and recorded some improvising 8 times. Then I deleted everything that was out of scale or otherwise fucked up, and glued the ok parts together.
I know you are a pretty good guitarist, so do you want to do a solo? I'd send you the part without solo.

Couldn't hurt. Go for it

 

[Nebulous]

HAHA, ive got to hear this \m/

 

[Skaldir]

So, it's done.
Moonlapse played the orinigal solo with a lot of feeling and I added some reverb on the snare and did a few more choirs here and there.

Would like to hear it again with a (new) solo.. but thing is, it buffers at a really slow rate.. 2% now, and it took me 3 minutes to get there..

 

[Skaldir]

I'm uploading it to yousendit now. I'll post the link when it's there.

Edit:
there you go.

Cool Unicorn!

Still loving the vocals.. with that european vibe to it.. keep that up no matter what they say! it IS so damn hard being german and speaking english let alone sing it.. yet you did..
The vocals in the end, they still give me goosebumps when i hear them.. great voice!!

Solo... yeah Ermin!! good job man.. really compliments the song and tops it off! great control on the guitar as well...

 

[Ermz]

I was kind of doubting the Hellraiser's potential to get a convincing overdriven sound, but I was proven wrong. Guess a guitar bred for metal isn't really a one-trick-pony, haha.

 

[Nebulous]

Fuck you Ermin, just fuck you and your skills

 

[cobhc]

snare seems to stand out a little too much imo, but otherwise sounds fucking awesome dude

 

[Ermz]

I'm wondering Unicorn, are you ever gonna fill up the track with all those warm vocal melodies that are in the original? I can't help but feel the original has a lot more happening, track-wise.

@Nebulous: I give guitar lessons, baby

The opening piano part reminds me of Journey.

Yes, it has. I know mine is like a light version of the song, but it's a lot of work to track the backing vocals exact as he does.

Is Journey a band or a song?

 

[Ermz]

The opening piano part reminds me of Journey.

The opening part actually reminds me of M.A.S.H.
