Title: All I Wanna Do cover
Post by: swinkhouse on May 05, 2017, 06:33:20 PM
Hi all! I've Been lurking on this forum for a couple of years now but never posted anything. I recorded a cover of "All I Wanna Do" and would love some feedback on it! Not the most fantastic singer, but I think it turned out alright. Let me know what you think.

It sounds like it should be about a half step slower, but otherwise I like it!

I love this! Nice arrangement--the piano has a really dream sound. I don't think you have to bury your vocals so low in the mix; they sound great. Are you familiar with Animal Collective at all? You could totally pull off their vocal style.

Thanks! I got the piano recently for free and it's a little detuned, about -26 cents, but I absolutely love its sound - reminds me of Brian's Chickering piano sound in the late 60s (obviously not AS good though). And yeah I listen to Animal Collective, I really like their sound! "No More Runnin" is one of my favorite songs

Half of the talent in vocals is getting a good sounding recording, and what i can hear here is very well balanced! Turn them up and let them shine!!

Your take on the sound is interesting, I like how it retains the aesthetic of the original but you made it your own too. Nice production but the vocals could be a bit louder, I'm notorious for making my vocals lower in a mix because I don't like my own voice maybe you're doing the same haha
