Review Our #41 Cover

[Jonla12]

Over winter break me and my friend recorded this cover at my house. He's on guitar and vocals and i'm on a mallet synthesizer with a piano sound. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

not bad at all...i really like the piano, vocals are good, but is the guitarist using an electiric?

edit:some more work could be done with vocals...seems like he has trouble with hitting those high notes

[Jonla12]

Thanks for the input! He was using a fender 12 string plugged into a Roland AC-60 amp. Keep em coming people:)

Advice: Drop the 12 string and play it with a 6. Yes i know 12 strings are cool, but it doesn't sound very good in this particular song. And must be acoustic...but thats obvious

**how long have you been playing piano, your pretty damn good

I started playing piano when I was six but i kind of dropped it when i started playing percussion in middle school. Then i combined the percussion and piano together to become a mallet player. Now i'm a freshmen in college. I recorded this on a malletkat(see attatched pic) which is more or less an electronic xylophone. I used a kurzweil PC2R sound module instead of the internal soundcard and used a piano patch on it. Thanks for all of the input!

Thanks for your kind words!

lovethe malletkat thingi!! and the guitaring is good... but don't care for the voice much, it needs some work.

not bad... id considder re-recording it with a 6 string, and maybe using the 12 to play some accent chords or maybe a subtle lead in there... the mallet jammy was awesome, definatley the best part of the recording. voice isnt bad, has potential for sure but i think its a matter of learning to manage your breathing a little better... overall nice work
