Nice - pretty close to the original - well done.


I agree with markus.  Really great rendition.

Thanks guys...I've actually finished my cover of When Every Song Is Sung...a George Harrison song and that's even better.

First off, you are to be commended for such an ambitious project.  As a whole it works well, but it feels like the strings are just swamping the vocals sometimes... most times to my ears.

Thanks guys.  Yes it was ambitious, but it was also about learning stuff.  Understanding how to recreate Beatle sonic arts techniques is important.  They took the proto-creative arts research of the historical avant gardes and help popularize these techniques.  We need to do the same IMO, and as The Beatles did, create new ones.  The Beatles or their engineers created ADT and Flanging.  
 
In fact on my newest cover of When Every Song Is Song, I've used Melyodyne as a doubler effect on guitar.  First to fix a few inconsistencies, and to create a thicker tone, and I was surprised at how close to a full 60's guitar tone I got.  Of course I used Guitar Rig, EQ and compressed before going into Guitar Rig, but still...a lot of guitar was double and even triple tracked in the 70s, and by blending a slighty imperfect guitar line with a 'fixed' one...you get closer to the idea of what was being done in regards to double tracking guitar in the 70s.

Hi Ben, 
You did really good on this. I really enjoyed your vocals. You delivered it with the right emotion. This is my favorite work from you. 
All the best.

Good cover Ben, have agree with the strings swamping the vocal a little.  Look forward to the next one.

Thanks Jimmy and John and for anyone else who listens.  I will sign off on this post now.  So I can post When Every Song Is Sung in a week or two.

I must admit much to my embarrassment that the song name did not ring any bells but the second you started singing(with a pleasant voice) I recognized it. You did a great job imo here too. Mix was pleasant in my ears.

I love the vocal! Sounds like the original. I agree that the strings/brass/accordion patch seems a bit loud and harsh, but otherwise very good!!!
