On to the next one chaps..
Recorded for the latest Cover Challenge. I Put A Spell On You from Dirty Snake Mouth.
https://soundcloud.com/dirtysnakemouth/i-put-a-spell-on-you-dirty-snake-mouth This is about getting a good mix from what is available, so no "re-recording parts" but feel free to use or not use all of the tracks available... feel free to use drum replacement etc....
Just a small tip... You may or may not have to flip the phase on some of the mics
If you want to join the fun,
send me a DM and I will provide you with a link to the raw tracks.
Differing from the previous comps... this time bounce your track as a WAV and use WETRANSFER to send it to mix@thefretboard.co.uk
I will create a playlist where the WAV files can be downloaded for comparison...
Voting will start soon after the submission deadline of 11th Dec 2020 with each voter selecting 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.
First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point
The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.
As people submit their entries, I'll post them in a playlist below. Hopefully we can share tips and tricks on how the mix was achieved.
*****UPDATE***** MASTER YOUR TRACK TO AS CLOSE TO -14 LUFS... That way we can all listen to everything at roughly the same volume
Comments
we can save the mastering for another challenge...
hopefully this time round, when I make the wavs available everyone can do similar and judge the un soundclouded files...
the loudness aspect should be null and void this time...
The vocals are great, the solo is like Jo Bo when he was still good and that’s cracking dynamic mix. To all involved (whomsoever you may be) that’s some top work!!
@dainty did the face melting stuff
molly did the wurds
charlie did the bass banjo
I did the remainder... guitars, drums and samples!...
sending you the tracks now
edit... it’s a straight cover of the Annie Lenox version but hey, “if it ain’t broke add more guitar”
*****UPDATE***** MASTER YOUR TRACK TO AS CLOSE TO -14 LUFS integrated... That way we can all listen to everything at roughly the same volume

Bosh
In case anyone's never heard it, here's an equally amazing version:
I could've spent a lot longer on this getting things "just so" but it didn't seem to fit the vibe. Have deliberately not gone super-wide on this one. Aimed for clean and classic, probably missed the mark massively

You should be able to download the WAV files from soundcloud
The original mix is hotter than the -14lufs but its not to be included in the vote so it matters not
I'm half way through the mix, so I don't think I will let it influence me anyway, great track.

should be 58bpm... the original mix is correct, dainty had the same Dropbox link as yourself...
Does anyone else have an issue?
