Wow @TNKA36 … That bass has a fat sound! I listened to that at 1am and had to quickly kill my sub or the whole family would have woken up and kicked my arse!! Very nice Brian.

OK !

Redeye Caravan - Banshee

Redeye Caravan is a greek band and this song is from their last album, Nostrum Remedium, released in January 2020. A few songs are interesing in a dark country perspective but I like especially this one, with its very warm and organic vocal line. That said, the original bass line is not interesting at all, very flat. So, I replaced it entirely by mine, and hopefully it sounds more lively but still in a pure dark country flavor.

Greenie in EADG, with the country-foam-block, plugged straight into the Bass POD Pro.

Great song! I like it and great playing. I don’t know what the original bass line was, but yours seems to fit perfectly.

Greenie’s tone was perfect for that song.

Very nice rolling bassline, perfect and subtle, supporting. Nice work.

Also perfect hat for the song :slight_smile:

Another one by New Order, with my bestie on guitar and me getting my Hooky on. Our cover of Temptation, one of their best songs, and one with a lot of personal meaning for me.

Only my second try at vocals - still terrified by them :slight_smile:

Bass: Yamaha TRBX604FM
Synth: Kilohearts Phase Plant
Guitar: Gretsch 5120
Drums: Steven Slate Drums SSD-5
Mic: Shure PGA-58
Backup “oohs” vocals: Synthesizer V (Eleanor Forte Lite version)
Plugins: many

Tracked and mixed in Reaper.

Thank you all so much, really appreciate it :blush:

It’s been a lot of fun working on these with my friend. He’s basically single-handedly kept our band alive since college. Love his guitar work in this one, especially the ending.

@PamPurrs - That was so kind of a comment, thank you. There’s a lot of post-production software helping my voice there :slight_smile:

However I do feel like I am getting more comfortable with it. The reason Melodyne works well with it is my voice is not too far off in those takes. But I am still naturally singing about a half semitone flat, and with a lot of variance. Something to work on over time :slight_smile:

Vocals are humbling. At least for me. I can’t imagine doing them live - I never sang in gigs at all.

But at least you’re taking the bull by the horns and nailing it.
I have always mimed since school days after my voice broke. Even in the crowds at concerts when no one hear you :joy:
