A few friends and I covered a song - The Beach by Dr. Dog - General

Recording quality isn't great, but it got the job done. Tell me what you think! [media]https://soundcloud.com/tetramputechture/dr-dog-the-beach-full-band-cover[/media] I'm on drums, one friend is on bass, and another is playing guitar and singing (He recorded a separate vocal track).

Did he use some kind of vocal effect there? Sounds like a chorus to make up for the lack of grit in his singing. Kinda takes away from the "live band" feel you have there. Maybe a slight touch of fuzz would do it better instead. Other than that, pretty good! Might wanna try posting this over to the Musician's Gig Room in GD if you haven't already.

Thank you! I'll check out there!

I can tell you're a drummer. 2:25 That one moment every drummer waits for in a slower song. Good job on that, I agree with Water-Marine on the vocal effects thing though, kinda takes away from it.

I did that fill during one take (as kind of a jokey thing that didn't really fit in) and my friends were like "OH SHIT THAT SOUNDED SO FUCKING COOL DO IT AGAIN" "I didn't know you had a double bass pedal" (I don't so that made me feel good) Without any sort of effect, it sounds really dry; recording in a rock band mic makes it sound like you're hearing it through a cheap mic you use for game voice chat (if that makes any sense).

If that's all you had on ya then I can understand jazzing it up a bit lol. It's always better to go for subtle though. Whatever you think sounds good, tone it down slightly lower. I'm giving you guys a follow regardless though

That's all I have, it's what I use for my drum covers too (oddly enough, instruments sound better on it than actual vocals). Alright, I'll keep that in mind next time! Thank you! I really appreciate that!
