Description : I re-uploaded the song after making several changes to the VU levels. OOPS, Like I said my first recording. Also converted the file from MP3Pro to MP3. A big thanks to Barry Morgan for the bass track.

If someone would like to contribute some kind of hook as it was suggested in a review we'd appreciate that also.

If for some reason it doesn't play or you like this cover, then please me know.

    eh..... did you re-upload recently?????

    i am kinda irked..

    i just wanted to point on production first... which i don't mean to be a dick.. i went from knowing this stuff, to screwing this stuff up BIG time, and then re-learning it..

    production wise.. with your mastering... i understand that it's an acoustic track, and that the peaks and valleys should flow accordingly (as opposed to a hip-hop/rap/rock track)
    but you peaked at like... -15.4 dbs... where as... you normalized??? at -16??? ...

    I don't mean to be mean.. but .... ok... Louder is better in my opinion... like.. if i clip.. i know how to fix that, but NEVER CLIP.. but.. you should ... honestly.. ALWAYS try and hit that sweet spot between clipping and it being too loud for the listener... (JUST MY OPINION!!! ok!)

    NOW!

    To the talent, after I boost the track by 16 dbs.

    wow.. I really... couldn't tell the difference between Jewel and you?? Nice effects... beautiful work.. but the panning was weird with headphones, but I bet it sounds epic with stereo speakers...
    There's a beautiful release and response with your overdubs...

    lol.. for some reason when you or some girl sang ladddiddda it gave me chills... (wtf? lol)

    SOooo...

    I really like it!

    just be aware of how your system sounds on your comp, as opposed to like... a car or cd player.... or an ipod/mp3player....

    really cool
    GREAT cover!

    thanks for your review, after this song was recorded it literally took me 10 attempts to upload the song properly. we had clipped all over the place recording the vocals, so at first i figured i should bring the master down a bit to prevent the clipping on the master track.

    I had no idea how to record properly until spacestationwagon said i should study up on proper mic and eq usage.....so we did...and now i understand the principles a little better.

    i should re-record the song but i think im just gonna boost the master a the 16db since it is a cover.... this was good honest feedback, thanks

    Taking the swing out of it makes it feel like a whole different song. It takes courage to reinterpret a song this way instead of doing a completely straight cover. I was reading about your travails recording this thing. I don't know if anyone mentioned getting a compressor for vocal recording, but it's a good idea. Vocals can be TOO dynamic. They give everyone fits. Anyway, very cool cover.

    Reply by JensTonic

    this was our first cover and when i recorded it - it was clipping all over the map... and i didn't even realize it. I'm just learning who to use software compressors... but it's a learning process.....still loads of fun though....

    a good chord progression, nice vocals, with good changes! i can see where your coming from with this track. Only 1 problem- the bitrate! It sounds distorted beacuse you need to change the bitrate to over 160 kb! so just convert it to a higher bitrate and you should be fine!

    JensTonic
    Reply by JensTonic

    thanks for stoppin in. i had already increased the bitrate over 160. and changed it to best quality vbr. and it was still causing me problems. This latest upload i converted to mp3 from cd format. so i hope it works. cause if it doesn't im gonna have to leave this one alone for a while.
    thanks again

    For some reason your track didn't play 100 % right. (a bit like when the old casette used to slip) and I got a slight tremolo effect. I did mange to hear what you have put together and I think this is a big step in the right direction. For me, the song has to grab you and thats what your song does. Catchy addictive lyrics and tune. more !!!

    i agree with neil.good job,judt an idea,maybe use reverb on your vocals,and may be verse and chorus the songs ,on the instruments,.However saying that,i loved it.as a first recording its fantastic.Keep going,and a a big WELL DONE,good work,peace and much respect,kj,tribal crew...

    you asked for it so here it is. first recording nice job. your singing, lyrical content, playing and compsition are great.
    you have a few technical hickups but who doesn't for your first recording this is great!
    you should do some reading on vocal recording. how to use the mic properly for solid levels. also read up on mixing and eq this song doesn't need any bass that could be taken care of with some eq on the guitar and your final mix. if i were to do anything different would be a hook or solo with that 6 string guitar of yours. nice work and welcome to looperville!

    Thanks for the review, Im gonna look on line for some more advice on vocal recording and eq'ing. Too far seems too distant and too close it clips.
    Thanks i will check things out.

Used a Guild acoustic guitar mic'd with an AKG C214 and my trusty ol' Yamaha MOX8 for other instruments (excluding shaker - that was real ;). You can find the guitar loops to this song on my profile page. Maybe one of you looperpeeps can come up with something for words on this. Otherwise, enjoy le moosic :3

Description : This is an acoustic cover of the song "Come As You Are" by David Crowder. I recorded, mixed, and mastered this one in two days! Almost done burned me out haha! Hope you enjoy!

My older brother does the lead vocals and I do everything else, from instrumentation to harmonies. No vocal-editing whatsoever in this one. The guitars were all one-take recordings. Updated the audio - I added tambourine hits in the 2nd and 3rd choruses; just helps make for a more moving song.

I love it's encouraging and motivational lyrics and as always Richie's care in making EVERYTHING perfect! :-) Totally didn't know what genre to put it in. Enjoy.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : This is my attempt at the one-hour challenge for LM (finished at 57 min 48 sec). I had to mix/master on the go and this was the result. Some bad chords here and there that I did my best to conceal, one-takes on guitar and piano and used an awesome acapella from a1000times, who wrote the words that Dikaiko sang over. I really like her voice. Anyhoo yea, I like this one a lot so probably gonna come back to this in the near future. Comments welcome.

I got the acapella here: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/7656/marauder-feat-dikaiko-by-a1000times-132bpm-dance-acapella

Description : I put this under acoustic even though I did use a couple midi tracks. I felt they sounded acoustic enough to put the track in that category. Suppose it could be chill out as well, however you want to label it, do so. I used an Indian flute and an electric guitar sounding plugin with some tremolo added along with acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Nothing too complicated here and I felt it sounded good enough to upload so enjoy!

Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Had to thank once again the excellent loops to their owners - i think the result is one of my best tracks ever, plus have a slight spaghetti western like feeling which is cool ... Hope you will like it too. :)
