Awesome job! I love this song too! I post a cover of this as well. 
But when I get half way through the song my anxiety kills me and my hands get tired. 
Keep up the good job!

Awesome @JerryP perfect tone in the mix. It’s such an iconic song that I heard 100 times. I just didn’t know that it’s called green onion, 
Love the thumbnail.

Got some better photos to illustrate what I was talking about yesterday. Seems the mic is a bit further away from the cloth than i thought. Also I’d say the angle to ground is less than 45 degrees. This is what I’ve been using for the past several covers.
The flash somewhat helps see the ring of the speaker and the capsule in the mic in this next photo.
…and one more from an angle.
Seems I need to do some dusting…

Thanks @cheeze_pizza , that’s interesting. When I mic an amp, I use a Sennheiser e906 and I move it in front on the speaker until it sounds balanced and kinda realistic when recorded … it’s an empirical science somewhat 
I might try with the SVT

Here’s my mid-week offering…
Goin’ Down by Melanie C.
Easily, the most talented of the former Spice Girls, Melanie C. rocks hard in this fantastic song which is off her first solo album.
Perhaps my favourite female vocalist, her work is well worth a listen, and will
likely become a reoccurring cover theme for me!
Dingwall Combustion into GarageBand via the Ampero One for a bit of overdrive.

Yeah man, digging your thumbnails. Nice design! I liked the vibe of the designs on that Mayer Hawthorne song. Or was it three songs? Hard to tell.
I was just chatting with @TheMadBassist about thumbnails. My process goes through a few steps, and is very iterative.
I start with AI. I’ve fine-tuned an AI model on pictures of myself, so now I can generate pics of myself in all kinds of different attire and situations. I have a general idea of what I want, sketch that out or use a reference pic, and then feed it through Stable Diffusion. I’ll iterate on that, sometimes feeding an output I like back through as an input, until I get pretty close. Then I’ll fire up Photoshop and manually fix any details that AI couldn’t quite get right, add text, etc.
This past cover of Crazy, I was going for an homage to the album cover:
I dunno, I get a kick out of it. Scratches a creative itch.

That’s fantastic information! I really like the finished product. I believe a good amount of that is beyond my technical capabilities with graphical design, but I might have to investigate it anyways!

Nothing special with mine. I get an image that I like from the interweb and add the text using an app called FastStone Image viewer.
