Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds(Cover)

Here's a cover I just finished with Platinum. I tried to use only what is available in Sonar(Outside of my guitar).
I've been forcing myself to dig deeper and learn automation and whatnot. I would love some input of any sort. Thanks.

I've had Sonar about 5 months and today was the first time I used Melodyne. Just as pitch correct.
I plan on using it more. It was a lot easier to use than I thought it would be.

I always enjoy hearing people cover the Beatles.  This song is not particularly easy, but you got the progression and other elements right.  Unfortunately, the reverb swamps the vocals for me, so if you were to dial it back somewhat, the vocal would stand out more and be more clear.  That being said, congratulations on taking a risk!

Takes a lot of guts to cover this tune. You were able to preserve the theme and feel of the original yet simplify and still pay homage.....good job. nice melodic bass line..... I like the guitar parts. Just a bit less verb on the vox(a couple of small pitch spots) and reach in there and kick up the drums..........the song has such interesting rhythm changes, I think the drums need to play a bigger role leading through.....Very ambitious and a big thumbs up from me...............Ron 

Very nice cover.  As others have said, gutsy song to choose.  I think your vocal choices regarding the melody worked well.  Did most of your inspiration come from the Beatles' original or the Elton John cover?
