Wow only 30 friggin minutes. This is great for 30 minutes. I'd be still sitting here trying to find a million loops. Lol Sometimes it takes me hours to find and select ones I like and ones that work together. But I'm no producer either, so...there's that. Anyway, it's a very simple, short and artistic piece of work that I couldn't do in 30 days let alone 30 minutes. I'm jealous and hope to be as good as you some day Mahloo! I will keep working on it! :-) Great work!

This song is my favorite in all Fall Out Boy songs and you did a very good job here mate. Keep it up

Pretty good cover. I feel like this singer enunciates clearer than the original singer lol. I feel like the drum is a touch too weak, but the guitar tones sound awesome.

Yep. This is fallout boy all over the place. Pretty straightforward bar band kinda cover too. If some drunken dipshit was yelling "Play some Fallout Boy!,"for the bar on Saturday Night, the band could do this & it would well satisfy. Great cover.

I admit I don't know the original song, but this work is perfect, the voice is very similar to that of the FOB singer, the guitars have the right volume, maybe the drums would deserve more evidence, but overall it's a work of excellent quality, extremely clean and professional! My warmest congratulations!

It for me was a flashback to the 90's. enjoyed the quality of it. great job.

Yeah after another listen. I believe you. It is a cover. you can clearly hear that is not the original singer. IDK what I was smoking the other day. It's a great cover tho. The Dj Bean has a pretty close voice to the real vocalist.

Good cover, does the original justice, the mix sounds great!

Interesting to see the comments on how close it is to the orig.? I tend to try to bring my own feel to covers but who cares if this doesn't. You are showing your mixing skills while giving the band a little exposure here, everyone wins!

Good job all around, band sounds good and so does the song!

Cheers!

Hey Mahloo, yeah this is a real nice version. I like the clarity and maybe improved dynamics over the released version. I'm also hearing subtle differences like lack of double track vocals in spots etc.. A lot of the hard questions from the others really stem from Loopermans rules about posting copyrighted material. I doubt if they even know much about the song or even bothered to listen and compare. In any case my suggestion would be to be very careful though. I like doing covers myself and currently have 2 in my track list, one by KoRn and another by the Truckfighters. Mine are not nearly as close to the originals as this sounds but irrespective of that, I imagine Shan's not really concerned at how good we are at reproduction. He just doesn't want to get caught up in any legal issues. And it's important to understand that he is really the one at risk here. He hasn't said anything to me directly but he has issued a thread with warnings on this very subject. Not sure if you have seen it or not.

I'm not in any way judging you or attempting to play Policeman here. That would be very hypocritical on my part to say the least. Only wanting to give you the heads up bro.

Almost indistinguishable from the original artist's song and vocals

yeah after a second listen the instrumentals may be a cover but the singing is for sure Patrick Stump. Why would you even post this on looperman? If it isn't him then I want a reference for who it is

Are you sure this is a cover? I hope you are not lying...lol b/c it sounds just like the lead singer from the real band. This could be some demo you had or found before the song blew up. I know covers songs are supposed to be exactly the same but damn who ever that is singing sounds exactly like ol boy from FOB...sounds great btw.

Sounds gud to me. You seem to be well abreast of the whole mixing and mastering process. Nice work!

Metalcore Malu, yeah man this is absolutely brutal dude! I hadn't heard this song in like 10 years but this is a badass cover man. What gives, is this actually DWP or a cover band? Details? So funny but I would wager not many listening realizes DWP is a Christian band ! Anyhow props on the mix, sounds great. I severely punished my studio monitors reviewing this lol!! Hope they survived.

Malu Malu Malu!
It's great to be able to connect with some of the oldies but goodies around this place again. :-)
I have no idea why, but I didn't expect those vocals. Haha
They totally caught me off guard.
Course I'm not one for the technical stuff,
but in the right mood this song would totally bring out my wild side, or maybe my angry side. Hehe

Who the heck is singing this! WOW GREAT VOICE! And here I thought I was a singer!
Great job!

When I looked at that Wav. graph I knew I was in for a hard ride HaHa...I am reminded of some of the early tracks from Hugh Dillon`s Band (Headstones) that I needed to listen too since our Son is a buddy of High`s....The mosh pit would kill this ol boy now.....My ears don`t allow me to comment objectively of the production issues you note....but I can sure say with authority...This is one freeking good hard rocking song...can`t imagine fans of the genre not loving it.....cheers....Ed

woah woah woah

very cool production in every level...but we've been used to this from you...:-)
guitars are bloody fat and the drums are like tones of bricks...

...as it has to be...

pro work, hats off, Danke

Solid! This is really awesome bro! Sounding great for just 1 hour of mixing

I like this headbanger. And I, for one, would be interested in such a tutorial as you describe. I'll look for it. Thanks.

I love the vocal sound on this

It's really pleasing to hear something as "real" as this, especially in these times. There always seems to be something missing from a completely virtual composition/sound design effort, and it is something which is not missing in this song. You already mentioned the mp3 conversion, and really that is the only thing I hear which is bothersome in this. The song, while being a style which I don't listen to often, has a lot of artistic talent and effort put in on the part of the performers. Definitely a fun one to hear, and it sounds like they will have some success with this mix! Great work!

I agree with referencing everywhere. My best mixed track "Angel in Disguise" was referenced in a lot of different environments and that helped me work out the flaws in my mixing. I wasn't able to do that with this mix so the effects are obvious. :) thanks again for the thorough replies as they are much appreciated. Apologies for any mistakes, I'm using my phone at the moment.
