After all your positive feedback in this thread, BTW, I'm so grateful for your words, guys, thank you so much, I've decided to post the whole The Dark Side of the Moon cover album. I want to dedicate this to the beautiful AS and AZ communities, undoubtedly great places for all musicians.

In case you don't have time to listen to the whole album, I can understand that, I'll post a playlist with separate songs as well, so you could choose whichever you'd like to listen to. Thank you for taking your time.

Very good!!!
No bias here. I genuinely enjoyed hearing this.

Now create something new in the same style to call your own and go for awesome!

 

Thank you very much, Voo! Thanks a lot!

No, I'd rather not rip off Floyd and make similar sounding music while calling it my own. It's theirs, period. Though I can make a cover song and pay them a tribute with it, hopefully, but no "original music" in the key of Pink from me. I've heard a few bands ripping off Floyd and they sound rather... well, let's not get too judgemental here.

 

Good job!

Take a look at this, see if it's interesting to you. https://audiosex.pro/threads/audiosex-metal-album-official.24290/

Despite the word "metal", it starts at rock and goes through prog.

 

Good job man!
One of my favorite Floyd covers....

 

long time Floydian sez... do the rest of the album


(bonus track: echoes cover )

mix comment: bass sounds a bit edgy and prominent, maybe some more blending ? eq ?

Herr Durr In fact, I wanted bass to be prominent in this track, but maybe I went too far. My ears fail me sometimes and so do the tools I work with.

Thanks so much, guys, for all the responses.

 

great cover..
maybe you could crunch up the drums a bit.
But overall great job..

 

Amazing cover my man, only thing I'd make the drums a bit more intense, but other than that is great.
Would be great to hear some stuff made by you instead of a cover.

 

good job!!!

 

If you are singing the vocals I'll be a monkey's uncle.

 

very very good!

 

No it's not a decent one: it's really great! I've tryied time ago something similar with ABITW pt2 but the results were nothing close to what you've done! Fantastic. I think it could be interesting know how you've done this... equip, hw, sw, plugins used, etc

 

superliquidsunshine I guess, don't be so prejudicial about people you don't even know.

dt68 honestly, it's embarrassing for me to tell my tools, so please, I really hope you won't laugh. it's a celeron cpu with 1,5gb of ram, lots of frozen/rendered tracks of course, Squier into Toneport, ASIO4ALL to reduce latency, some Peavey mic laying around, Acorn Masterkey, the rest is done in Reaper. I mix on some Genius PC speakers, though recently I bought myself a pair of Superlux HD 681 headphones. finally! I know it's wrong to mix in headphones and cans give me a bit wrong picture, but just trust me on this, it's so much better than the goddamn Genius speakers. my ears literally thanked me for the cans.

Yeah, I know it's all crap tools, but I believe what matters in the end is the result, not the tools. Though, on a stronger PC and other things, the result would be much better, obviously.

So you, guys, are telling me the drums are too laid back. I guess, I so much wanted soft, subtle drums in this track that I went too far and left them behind a little bit. My bad. But thanks for the tip, I'll look into that.

 

@Wurlie Rocker superliquid was possibly making a compliment,
you do sound as tho you borrowed gilmore's vocal chords
for a bit... nice job on the vocals

drums were fine for me...

people have made great music with crappier tools, all your effects are through the
toneport? nice phaser on the guitar too

 

Herr Durr I felt different about his words. No, nothing was borrowed/stolen from the original recording. If you want to know who's on the vocals, it's my bud Greg. I was just a little bit offended by the guy's remark like if I couldn't sing like that no way. But maybe you're right and he didn't mean it. My bad, then.

I can sing, though I chose Greg's vocal track, because he sounds more lush and more suitable for the song. In the end, it's all for the sake of the song, the music, not about who's ego's bigger.

Effects are Amplitube. Univibe, phaser and leslie speaker emulation. I wish there was Yamaha RA-200 emulation, though, to give that lush rotary sound, but oh well, you gotta work with what you have.

Amazing stuff! I mean, you completely nailed the "Dark Side of the Moon"-era Floyd sound, and given what you listed for gear/software, you should be EXTREMELY proud of this (and consider using it as a calling card for some sort of professional engineering/producing work). Which is why I really hate to say anything critical about your tracks, even though they'd be easy fixes: 1) as someone else remarked on here already, the bass guitar is a little too prominent. It probably needs to be knocked back about a dB or so -- you want it at around the same level as your kick. There's enough upper range stuff happening that you'd still be able to hear it just fine. Either that, or, if you have a compressor on it, back the threshold off a bit. 2) The drums. They sound perfect -- again, you nailed the Floyd sound! -- but the actual drumming needs a bit of work. Nick Mason's not the world's greatest drummer, but they always made sure his beats and fills were tight. It almost sounds like you cut and pasted various MIDI tracks (beats, fills, etc.) together to make the drum tracks or, if you did all the drumming yourself, that you were having issues playing at that speed, playing those particular beats, needed to rehearse a few more times before recording. If it's a MIDI track, it's an easy fix: just go through and work on the fills a bit to make them flow more naturally. If it's live drumming, you may want to consider enlisting a drummer friend (preferably somebody versed in a wide range of music, especially older rock covers) to redo them.

 

nailed the guitars! vox has nice tone but the harmonies need to be tightened up. it gets pitchy in a bad way but i know you can do it correctly with a few more takes. bass and drums might be better not trying to mimic the sound and just do something new? idlk but they both need to be redone. i dig covers that expand and pay tribute like this one

cheers mate, thanks for sharing, and nice job!
