This could be down to your mastering software, or the soft synth itself Are you playing a real guitar, or is this done through MIDI? Due to the synthy nature of the Roland VG-8 used (?) this could be played accurately on a synth and not sound too different if you have the right sound. When I have time I'm going to try to see if I can recreate this sound, as Mike uses it very often throughout his Warner albums Just a few points to make if I can - the initial piano figure is in a different key to the rest of the parts. Don't know if this is intentional, but the original version is at a fourth up from what yours is. Also, the glockenspiel part could have been a bit more resonant All in all, it's a good mix. If you did that five or six years ago, you might have got a place on one of Mike's singles! Back to top

I thought it's not really...cuz it's done in just about 3-5 hours including playing and mastering... actually I thought of it more as the novation demo than a "real cover" but hey what's a real cover? about the guitar...I am gonna keep it my secret -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

The only problem I have is some of the instruments seem like the they're playing the TB theme on a different scale or something, but I suppose it's ok it gives a unique feel....but the only problem with THAT is that they sound out of tune, too . That's my only nit-pick. Otherwise, that's pretty awesome, dude! I love the flute sound in there doing stuff. And the guitar isn't have bad there, either! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 21 2004, 09:15 Just listened to it. Hey, if you did that in 3-5 hours, I wonder what you could do if you took more time! Judging by those sounds, you could make something really crazy and exciting there. It sounds very fresh and original, even, and that's coming from someone who strongly dislikes "The Source Of Secrets". Perhaps the piece didn't need to go up to a full 5 minutes, and yes, the main line is played in a wrong key (E minor, if my mind does not fail me, while the rest of the song is A minor). But still, that's a great showcase. I really liked it. It's very good to listen to the song without having to cope with Amar's whinings, and the cue of "Far Above The Clouds" at the end worked well. Great ending, too! Faintly reminds me of the slowing down at ELP's "Knife Edge". Man, you almost have a psychedelic masterpiece in there! No, really! Plus, thank you again for your "something"! -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.
