Practice Time - Katatonia - Saw you drown

My reference Mix:

https://soundcloud.com/deadlightstudio/katatonia-saw-you-drown-cover

Slate Drums, Reamping with Marshall JVM (SM57 + T.bone SC300), Gibson Les Paul Studio with JH Set,
Cheap active Harley Benton Bass guitar. Vocals with AKG D7 + Art TPS II tube preamp. All with Focusrite Saffire Pro 40.

i tried to mix the clean guitars with a lo-fi sound to come close to Katatonias Original version

Here the Di´s and Raw files:

awesome dude! thanx for this! fett alter! :headbang:
 
Nice job! gonna give this a shot in a bit and post the results.

Just a head's up - the wav file for Guitar 3 DI is just a mono mixdown of the whole mix.
 
Yeah Terminus is right, don't wanna sound ungrateful because this is great work and I am enjoying doing this but is gtr DI 2 just silence? it's just there are some clean parts in the bridge that are missing from your version.

But, as I said, I am not ungrateful and I thank you for doing this, just a heads up.

Great cover by the way, the vocals are note worthy in that the takes on display here are nailed on.
 
Here's a mix from today. I went ahead and did the backing vocals for it and tried to tune some parts of the vocals that were slightly off (just cut the parts out that needed tweaking and used ReaPitch to get them there). Also took out the raw "echoes" of "drown" and made them like the original.

I'll keep messing with it when I'm not busy. Good track man!
 
Heres my go at it! may have went a lil overboard with the reverb haha but I couldn't resist with this song! haha. Great cover dude!

Here's my take on the song:



I went a little crazy with the room mic, but I think it fits the vibe of the song really well.

Great job on the vocals. You really nailed the style.
