I’m not a big fan of the studio version of this song, but luckily there are a ton of very different live versions. I love this minimal one, recorded at the OurVinyl Sessions. There is only a guitar on the original record, so I added a bass line, greatly inspired by the upright line played on another live record.
Sound-wise it’s my “standard” Americana tone, with the Ampeg SVT-VR model on the Bass POD Pro set to a limit just after the “pure clean” tone, in the “just a little bit dirty if I’m heavy on the attacks” zone. The difference with my previous covers is that I didn’t use the DOD FX84, it’s Greenie directly into the Bass POD Pro. the compression comes only from the LA-2A model on the POD, the foam block and a very subtle studio compression during the production phase.
This song was not easy to mix because of the problem I have with my monitors. I hope it sounds good enough, at this point I can’t be sure.
Very nice @terb Laurent… Laid back style with a great tone from Greenie… Love the bass line and how it plays into the mood of the song. Thought the production was great, and the mix sounded quite well.
Nice tone and very smooth Laurent @terb,
Enjoyed the layed back Style, very easy to listen to😎
Cheers Brian
Nice
Really nice @terb Laurent. I was a bit stressed coming back from work but that song mellowed me back to sanity. Thanks!
Very nice. Well played.
Wow you are really going down the Dark Country path!
Greenie had amazing tone as always. I really like the mixing you did here, it fit very well in the mix, no need to worry about it. If anything you could have mixed it a little louder but it’s just about perfect.
So nicely played @terb Laurent. It would have been so easy to over play that song but you nailed it. Really nice tone from the green stick too.
thank you all for your kind words

This is my cover of Gary Numan’s “Down In The Park”. Me on bass. Also me on everything else, I made it from scratch
Drums: Steven Slate Drums 5
Synths: Me playing through Kilohearts Phase Plant. The pad and outro bells are stock patches, I made the synth lead sound from scratch.
Voice: Synthesizer V, Eleanor Forte vocaloid, with a phaser on it. The song is from the perspective of a dystopian future machine-person, so I thought a vocaloid would work well, and the phaser gives a cool She-Threepio kind of effect.
Everything is tracked up and mixed down in Reaper.
Being self-critical, I have lots of comments about it, but I’ll wait to hear others before I make them
I’ll jump in first here with a disclaimer - I don’t know the original by Gary Numan. But this is so damn cooool!!!
I’m way down with this full synth robo-tron goodness.
Bravo, and do more, I say.
Thanks!
The original is an electronic music classic, it was the B-side to “Are Friends Electric?”, his first single.
Okay I’m officially blown away ! @howard
The bass is just right in all aspects but to have then recorded everything else is just something else,next level .
If that was me I’d be shouting it from the rooftops.
Fabulous! Love it. The keys in particular seem right on point to my ears. Well done.
