very cool - it sounds a bit as if Radiohead would cover the Beatles. I know it's always tricky to cover such a classic huge song, becuase - how good can it be compared to the nearly-godlike original? But you did pretty well!

This is totally true.  When I was first learning Sonar, I used to do covers all the time and try to make them as close to the original as possible.  Never sounded nearly as good of course, but I learned a ton about sound creation and mixing.  You can learn so much trying to match guitar tones, synth sounds, vocal effects ect.  With this one, I wasn't even going to try to match it.  It is just too good and too unique.  I figured I would try a different approach.  

I like the uniqueness of this version as well Sven. You persuaded me to pick up the Indie pack because of this song. Did you start with a particular preset for this song. The drums sound really nice.

Thanks.  I did use a preset to start (although I have no idea which one).  I also used the AD saturation and compression to dirty it up, then just blended in the room mics.  That indie pak is just great.  

The drums work well.  The tone is vintage but still modern.  Everything else is well done.  Nice cover while still making it your own.
 
My only criticism is the song has about 2 minutes of silence at the end.  Mistake in rendering or an artistic statement.
