Strawberry Fields and Because

Over on my site I have finally published my cover versions of Strawberry Fields and Because that I did for my masters degree last year http://www.aaudiomystiks.com/mystik_music Yes Strawberry Fields is a little crap but the winner is Because.  On this track, I recorded it too fast.  I have then used the Audio Snap palate included with Sonar to stretch the song, in fact I stretched it so much I added almost a minute to the whole track.  You will find two versions of Becuase, the original and the time stretched version. 
 
Also you will find links to to the finished report http://aaudiomystiks.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/MTEC6710-MA2-PHILLIPS.183181536.doc appendix one http://aaudiomystiks.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Appendix_One.183183426.doc appendix two http://aaudiomystiks.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Appendix_Two.183184148.doc these appendixs detail all the experiments and the mixing and mastering.
 
Finally there are two videos detailing the experiments and mixing and mastering http://www.aaudiomystiks.com/mystik_movies 
You know the drill, if anyone is listening.

These tunes must be some of the hardest to make covers of. I think you fairly well catch the athmosphere of both masterpieces but the timing of the vocal in Strawberry Fields is sometimes wrong and also the left synth in Because plays some unfamiliar notes to me. I am impressed though by you attempts, I wouldn't dare. Also, I can't avoid saying that you even look a lot like John Lennon.  :-)

Hi Ben,

Just saw your post here ...

I listened to both your covers and watched both of your videos. A lot of work must have gone in to those. There were a couple of notes that weren't the same as the originals but overall both were really good. I did my own interpretation of Because many many years ago and I used Campbells Harpsichord SF2. It was a tough song to do. Unfortunately I lost the project and master wav otherwise I would post it for you to hear.

I remember way back when you were asking about Harpsichord samples ;). That Campbell guy put out some excellent samples, especially the stereo ones, didn't he?

The flutes in the beginning of Strawberry Fields Forever ... the melody isn't quite the same as the original but the sound is dead accurate.

You put a ton of work in to this and it shows! Really good stuff!

Thanks again guys, for listening.  It warms the cockles of my heart to hear such positive things about the work one does esp if you do put a fair amount of effort into the music.

Peace

nice... finally had the time to come and set a spell
