Classical Guitar version of Sister Christian(less verb version up now)

hi well, i`m here already with another one, luckily all i did to this was add the vocals and the heavy verb, i found the classical guitar done by stephen anthony and wanted to do something radical with it so here it is Sister Christian

New mix less verb up now

LOL, I have not heard this song in a long time.

I found the vocals a bit too much there, but I may be sensitive to certain frequencies tonight, because I notice that a guitar was in the same range as your voice in another song posted here this evening and I found it too much too. So, it may be me.

I just had to chuckle when I heard this song. Interesting interpretation, but I liked it. I swear I'm hearing odd things tonight on my system, but it sounds like most of the reverb is coming from the right side and the singing is coming from the left. My ears find that strange. It's like the stage is to my left and the hall is to my right, and I'm looking straight ahead instead at the singer (the source of the sound).

Very cool indeed! Sounds like you're in Shea Stadium!

Thanks mose , well yes i can clear that up for you, in the center is the classical guitar as i got it of soundclick, i then ran a send to a buss with Amplitube Metal, Triple delay fun clean Preset panned right and a send to another buss with another instance of Amplitube Metal, Cleanup Preset panned left and then to make the vox feel like they were in the same place i had sends to the 2 amplitube metal busses but panned opposite to the guitars so that the triple delay on the vox was on the left and the triple delay on the guitar was on the right to give it that amplitheater sound , it sounds fine hear on my bx5 a`s and my z-10`s but sounds more wicked when i sit on the other side of the room. I tried it with the vox the same as the guitar but the delays got lost in each other.

Thanks Janet, ok the verb might not be working for you, but did it sound like the vox and the guitar were in the same room? What i was going for was a large amplitheatre verb.

Hey Shad, Thanks i think, not quite sure how to take what you said, are you saying my vox sit around the 200hz area?

I dunno, I didn't measure it. Seat of the pants gauge. I was wondering more if I was finding certain ranges to be "piercing" (due to fatigue in other areas maybe?). Your vox and the guitar in another song seemed to hit my ear the same way tonight, and when things seem to follow a trend I begin to question my objectivity before the mix.

Cheers
Shad

OK i got ya now.

It's a beautiful song :-) And you did a nice version, but those are keys right?

Nope that`s a real classical guitar done by stephen anthony elegant guitar, i just did some treatment to it.

ORIGINAL: robby

Really :-) Well I'm impressed! And depressed "simultaneously". It's difficult, but I can pull it off...

here`s the original before i did my thing to it http://soundclick.com/share?songid=2523321

I listened to both... to be honest, I like the original guitar track better, the treatment is distracting with the heavy stadium reverb and the bouncing delayed guitars.... The vox sounded very strained and stiff..... like a classical singer might sing it.. "properly"...

My advice... you have a nice song here...you just gotta uncover it. Back the verb & delays off.... don't loose them entirely.... and loosen up on the singing.....make it sound natural...not proper.

This was the the hot song on the radio the week of my HS graduation.

I always thought the song was much too big for that drummer/singer. It actually works better with your voice, to be honest.

That guitar echo/reverb needs to be tamed, though, It is distracting.

I had to listen as I do remember this song and always liked it. A bit much on the delay/verb on the instrument as it clashes with your vox (you have a good voice too) back off on the 'wetness' and keep it subtle. Thanks for bringin' back memories!

thanks herb, if i do another take i`ll keep those points in mind.
