Prague Cover.

Calum · 01-05-2007, 04:10 PM

I finished tweaking up my cover of Prague this morning, i hope it's ok. There might be my 1st take of a 9 Crimes cover (it's a bit rough) on there too, i can't remember. If it isn't there, i'll put it up soon. But there's one of my own songs there too if you're interested.

I see what you're going for... it suffers in just being restricted to guitar though, having one tone over itself three or four times doesn't give the sound a wide range.

I know what you mean, but i didn't want to stray too far from the original in terms of guitar tone, because i wanted to retain the feeling of it. Unfortunately, my acoustic hasn't arrived yet, i would have recorded it acoustically. With what i had to work with, i tried my best to simulate an acoustic sound using my les paul.

Anyway, that's a good point, i might try putting a phasing effect on the guitar in the interlude or something.

Cheers.

nice job on the distorted vocals...could i have a mp3 copy of this song?

i like this cover because you don't take too many liberties...

but i don't think that the second crescendo (beginning at about 3:06) is dramatic enough...in damien's version it builds to a cinematic intensity...like an orgasm of sound, and some other stuff thrown in there too!

the "i could wait for you..." part needs more emotional intensity!

stop bemoaning having a les paul...

Cheers! Yeah, just give me an email address to send to; if i remember rightly, it won't allow me to attach mp3s here.

Some good advice there, thanks, i'll do more experimenting.

=P It's hard to do emotional intensity when you have to sing that low! I tried singing it higher, put i couldn't get any power behind it; i'll keep trying.

Nah, i love my les paul to bits, it's just trying to get the right acousticy sound.

Ta, for your input.

Yeah, it could work. But you'd probably be making things hard for yourself, it's definitely a different tone with effects on. But if you really want to play the melodies and counter-melodies off one another to their best advantage the logical thing to do would be to use more then one instrument.

Good ideas. Thanks for your suggestions.
