vocal vocal?

I tried to get similar to the album in the more rounded guitar tones that it has, while retaining a 'full' mix.

Oh also, I'm kinda proud I just used a dry kit from superior and processed that like it was a natural drum kit with no added sample layering.

Think it turned out okay.

Here's my attempt!



Sorry for that. I'm still mixing the song.

 

[Daybreak]

Here, have my WAT.

 

[Daybreak]

I can't stop laughing. Damn you. ):

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I've never heard the song. I might go do da vocals though (minus and growls cause I fucking suck at those). Not sure if I want to do an entire mix so I can post up the raws if you guys want.

 

[Daybreak]

Loren: Many guys here have showed interest in vocals, so it would be rad if you recorded some! : D

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Learning it now. Might have something for you dudes in an hour.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

No auto tune. Completely raw and dumb sounding.

Also: I know I don't sing this thing with the same emphasis BB singer does, I'm good with it since I just learned this bitch an hour ago.

EDIT: Updated to a newer version

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Gat dang I sang that bitch rough.

Mixes sound cool, I might give this a go if I can find a day.

 

[TLTD]

No man it really needed the vocals, had to use a few more plugins & automation and spent more time on the vocals than I thought but I like the Ozzy kinda vocal sound that happened from all the effects and things I had going on multiple busses.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Here is mine. It needs work but I have no time so this is probably how it will stay.

 

[GuitarHack]

Did a final version without vocals.
