    Billy Idol-Eyes without a face, instrumental cover.
    Sounds f-ing amazing.
    He did it in cubase 6 elements, sounds so close to the original.

    His description;
    An instrumental cover of a classic 80's song by Billy Idol. I used Cubase 6 Elements. For the drums I used Linn Drum samples in Groove Agent. The soft synths used are Prophet V, Jupiter 8V, FM7, Trillian for the bass, and Music Lab Realguitar for the acoustic strumming. I also used some distorted guitar samples I have with Kontakt for the bridge.


    And the original.

    I would take the 80s over these crazy psychotic times any time man.
    Movies dont even have scores any more, just fucking drones and ryzers, from the beginning to the end.

    does anyone feel cgi is overused? There's just something so flat.. and unreal looking about it.. especially when the screen
    is just saturated with it... oh well.. my take.. :dunno:

    yeah and the scores suck too ! :wink:

    Impressive but I wonder if he is using commercial karaoke tracks ???

    He does it all from scratch, sometimes he uses a guitar or a drum hit from the karaoke track, but 98% is his work.
    He shows all his vst instruments in the videos as well.

    Guys, let's discuss it. Why present music are so shitty compared to 80's-early 90's? For me it's one of the biggest problem which day by day fuck my brain. I want, no, I need to speak with someone about it. Maybe with psychotherapist [no]. I want to find the answer.

    Yes nice only my only criticism on this is the guitar is really bad sounding. Especially the distorted one.
    He should have hit me up I could have add the real thing.

    I hope you are good Von
