guitarheaven Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here's my take on a classic Death Cab song. What do you guys think? https://www.box.com/s/42580e5c62258fdae4af Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Finally got a chance to listen. I thought you did a decent job, pitch was good etc. But maybe it was the recording, I don't know. There was something thin about it. And this is a good song for acoustic guitar which I didn't really hear in your version. So again it may have been the recording...the guitar didn't stand out enough. But like I said, while the vocals were good they lacked the emotion of the original. A little too bright. The original is softer and a bit lonely feeling. It's that feeling which drew me into the original. His vocals were more soft around the edges. I'm not suggesting an exact copy of the original Just a closer look at the feel of the song. Overall, good job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarheaven Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for the feedback . Yeah, my microphone isn't great. It's a cheap headset mic from Walmart. I'm also not very knowledgeable about mic positions when recording (I recorded it in one take), so I placed the mic closer to my mouth than my guitar. I think I took away something different from you from the original. I felt that it was a song more filled with hope, with a underlying feeling of sorrow that surfaced here and there. But I was a bit bright. I was experimenting with getting a forward sound (maybe twang? I'm not sure) without smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I try my best not to compare to the original singer. Others do it to me. Sometimes, I do it to myself. To stop that comparison to other people, stick with your originals, which are good in their own right. Death who? Are you sure you didn't write this? Seriously, you sang this in your voice, with your equipment. Don't change. Keep doing the song this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
