Heroes - Killick

Description : A cover of Bowie's heroes, ala King Crimson. Although the arrangement was derived from a number of sources. Special thanks to guitarjock for his awesome drum loops.

It ain't perfect by any means, but it's my current skill level. Constructive criticism is most welcome.

Hey Cam, i love this restaging. It’s faithful enough to the original that i sang along without missing a beat, and the krimsonesque instrumentation kept me really engaged with sinuous fuzzy swimmy bliss.
This song has powerful connotations for me, it has soothed me in troubled times. And here it does it again, and it’s delivered by a friend.

You have a good voice, though you may want to EQ out some to the lows and mids, add compression, then wet up the highs with reverb or delay (just a hint). Also, consider more compression on the master, to smash the channels together to give it more "liveness" (not to much though, quiet dynamics are better than a "brick").

You may want to consider adding so midrange to that lead guitar, and moving from a fuzz to more of a tube screamer tone (kinda blues it up).

Put YouLean or some similar tool on the master, then get the LUFS of the master around -10 to -14, without clipping, and you will get a much clearer louder master.

Just some food for thought, you asked for feedback.

Nice work. BTW, if you like to count, cover Catfood.

Thanks man, I like to think I've come a long way since I did this track but I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for the one I'm finishing up right now.

Really nice work. You have a quality to your vocals that reminds me a bit of Meatloaf...that big powerful rock opera voice. I absolutely enjoyed this one. I've always loved this song and you did it justice. Well done! I hope all is well.

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
