Breakin the Law - Cover

Here is a cover of Breakin the Law originally by Judas Priest.
 
The Vocals are sung by Jim Miller. The guitars and bass are me. The drums are Addictive Drums 2.
 
Enjoy!

    Robert,
     
    Nice work, guitars sound awesome.  Always liked this song and you definitely did it justice.   I like the vocalist too, he did a good job capturing Halford's style.

    This was very good to listen. Pretty authentic I think. Great guitar and bass work and singing was very good too. I waited for a guitar solo but there was none in the original either. This band has many good songs.

    dig it.
    it's got just enough attitude to make it engaging....
    nice tight performances, vocalist was dialed into the sneery side of the song...
    smooth mix..
    you could almost bring up the 750hz and 2khz areas just a bit to make it a bit more abrasive,
    like the original mix.
    but no matter, great cover!

    Oh hell yes!
    Nice to see someone else posting some rock/metal stuff on here.
     
    Overall, I'd say you guys did a good job. If I was going to offer some constructive criticism, I'd say the following...
    Although the singers voice was pretty much perfect for judas priest covers, there were times when he was off-key (not including the intentional times right before the chorus) and off-time. The guitars sounded kind of...scrawny, is the word that comes to mind. I know you were most likely trying to get the guitars as close to the original as possible, but bumping up the lower frequencies just a touch, and using more than one guitar track would've really improved the sound.
     
    As far as the playing goes, you were spot on. Very good job. It was a cool touch to hear the sirens in there.
    8/10 imo

    Great job Robert!! I like the 70's rock vibe that this has to it. I might dial in the bass with a little more bottom and a little more bump in the mid high. Might not be what you want...I would probably try it to see if it add some more kick to the mix.. The guitars are sitting out front pretty well and well played I might add. I like the variety we have here. Nice to hear a rocker from you!

    Glad I dropped in to have a listen.  NICE tone.... What is the signal path and amps on the guitars? 
     
    I love that fat sounding chording....

    Thanks for the kind words everyone! I appreciate it.
     
    GH - My signal path is a Blackstar HT-5 into my Octa-Capture. On the tracks I use the channel compressor. I compress it to about -8db of gain reduction, get the level right between on and off and then move the mix knob to around 40% so more of the original comes through. The attack is longer and the release is shorter. I usually put my Ibanez on the left and my Les Paul on the right and send each to one bus. I use the buss compressor the same as the channel compressors again leaving more clean sound VS. the compressed sound. I then use a IK LA-2A EMU with only -.5 db of gain reduction with the switch on compress. It reads like I'm using a lot of compression but I'm only using very little. It's more of an effect. Ever since I started doing it this way, I've been getting a chunkier sound. When I add reverb, I solo the guitar tracks and start/stop until till it's there but not overdone. I wish the IK plugs had mix knobs because they sound better but the PC modules work.
     
    Thanks again!!!

    Hey, Robert,
     
    FANTASTIC job on this killer Priest cover, one of my all time favorites!
     
    Excellent work on the guitars, bass and drums, and your buddy Jim did a real bangup job covering Halford's vocals!
     
    Rockin' stuff, Robert, nice work!
    Bob

    Aside from a little boost on the bottom end, the mix works for me.    Listening made me smile.

    Terrific cover, great guitar tones. I thought the drums sounded a little muted, but otherwise it's a blast. Well done.
