REMOVED

Hey Ognis,
this is difficult to judge because i know the song so well but i feel you should have added some of "you" into this to make up for the lack of vocals.
There needs to be some lead instrumentation holding the interest of the listener, as it is it sounds like a backing track running with the singer out to lunch.
A couple of the sounds lacked a fast enough attack, the bass sound suffered from this and messed with the timing ever so slightly.
Otherwise everything was present and correct but i reckon you should have spent the time on another "Project."

HI, Ognis--I'd say this was a really good "test." I don't know why you say "poor sounding synths." Maybe they weren't exactly what you'd wanted to use, but it's not as if these are "bad" sounds.

I do want to say that 3 days isn't very long to work on a project. You don't want to work on a piece for weeks? Well, it usually takes weeks or longer to get something together, so I say, relax, go with the flow, and enjoy the trip. You're doing interesting stuff--Have patience.

rbowser, hey thanks! BUT, you only like it because you don't know the orignal. If you heard the NIN version (the real song), you'd think I was a gooy idiot for even tring

But, I do Apericate your comments, because I know this isn't your genere. So, I do look foward to your feedback.

I don't know if people actually realize though, how hard it is to do a cover of an electronic based song. Sure, an old analog rock song you can duplicate, as long as you know the chords... This.. I knew all the chords, yet it came out all feked up.. Why ? because I didn't have Trent saying, I used so and so synths, with so and so effect...

I know Trent R4eznor uses Battery exclusivly, so, the drums were done in Battery, and pertty much matched the real song (minus effects). But the rest ??? I know it sounded cheezy, but... I just didn't want to spend the time on a cover.

However... To those that downed it, I'd like to see how well you can do a cover of an electronica / indrustrual song

Trust me, it's not as easy as it looks.. You can know the chords all day long, but that means nothing

Ognis,

I am not familiar with the original song, so I can't offer any comparison or critique of how well "covered" the song is, but your piece is listenable and has a nice groove and vibe to it.

mistake, oops

Hi Ognis,I too haven't heard the original.But what you made sounded good to my ears.It was like some experimental music.The sound quality was good.I know how difficult it is to get the exact tones of the original stuff.I did an instrumental of a Korean song recently.I really suffered to get a synth sound and it took 3 days to finish.The musical content is very easy to copy.Not the exact tones.

Hey Ognis, I'm a big NIN fan- and this was one of the songs that sold me on them when I was on the fence.

You picked a difficult song to pull off, especially one to do without the lyrics (the emotion makes it I think). Considering you did this in three days, and as a "feeler" project to get to know the program, I think you did a really good job. Congrats man!
