The Interferencer Cover Song Thread

[Jive Turkey]

All I've ever wanted was to make you happy and you throw it back in my face. I HATE YOU! *slams bedroom door*

 

[No spoken words]

I wish I sang or played an instrument. I act out due to jealousy.

 

[LemonMelon]

Really good, Jive. You lost the beat in the bridge, but otherwise awesome. You can't tell you're Canadian or anything!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That shit is dope, Jive. Really good. You've got a bit of the sinister vibe goin on with your vocal in the verses, and it really works.

Sparsity really works for this song, I almost wish you had gone entirely just you and the acoustic guitar for the entire thing. But, damn, this is solid. Our man Jive Turkey can sing, you motherfuckers! Who knew?

I guess I judge stuff like this, in a weird way, based on if I heard it at an open mic. I've been to way too many open mic nights in my life and if I heard someone play "Lucky" like that out of nowhere at an open mic I'd give 'em a standing clap and possibly a few "WHOOOS!"

Good shit.

It was very nice, Jive. Thank you for sharing that.

 

[No spoken words]

Agreed with the others, that was quite enjoyable. I'm glad this thread exists.

I'm possibly buying a microphone. In which case I'll have a cover posted in relatively short time.

I'm also trying to purchase and teach myself piano/keyboard soon. If only I had money.

 

[PhilsFan]

Just listened to Jive Turkey's jaunt. Great shit. Well mixed, too.

Thanks for the compliments, guys It can be a little embarrassing posting yourself singing, but it will be easier to post another now when the time comes.
Who's up next?
Glad to see Pfan and Gaf looking into some microphone action

I tried recording a cover of Brainy on my laptop, which is what made me realized my mic is just not going to cut it. I'm either going to get some like $20 desktop mic or a more expensive one (i.e. Snowball or something like that) that I could use for other things.

Because of my studies and intended line of work, it'll probably be worth it to have a good professional mic. I'm seriously thinking about the Blue Snowball USB mic.

 

[Jive Turkey]

When I play my guitar through the laptop mic, it always sounds sort of crappy too. If you use Garageband to put together your tracks, you can play around with the waveform a little to get a more natural, slightly less muffled sound

 

[PhilsFan]

Does Garageband function on PCs?

It's not even muffled, it's that no matter what I set in the input volume as, parts will be too loud that it ruins the sound, and other parts will be too quiet to be picked up.

Just looked into it and apparently not, but this is pretty much the pc equivalent

GarageBand for PC

I have bought a very good microphone, the sound is great. I'll be recording something in the coming days.

 

[Jive Turkey]

awesome

4a. To export the finished file in MP3 format, download LAME encoder; when it asks you for the file, you just click the one in the folder with .dll at the end, and it'll export it for you.

This is the part I'm stuck at. Whatever I downloaded isn't a .dll, so it's not properly exporting.

 

[LemonMelon]

This is the part I'm stuck at. Whatever I downloaded isn't a .dll, so it's not properly exporting.

The .dll file should be contained within the folder along with several other files. If you want me to run through it with pics as a walkthrough of sorts, I'd be happy to.

New cover here, Stockholm Syndrome by Yo La Tengo:

The quality is utter shit, but it kinda makes the solo more awesome in a way. Really happy to have some of my gear back.

If you haven't heard the original, it's a must:

There's a bunch of folders I extracted, one actually called "Dll" but it doesn't appear to actually have the .dll file in it.

 

[PhilsFan]

Also, agreed about that sound having a cool effect on the solo.

Here's a direct download of the .dll, see what happens:

Perfect. Thank you. I should have one up soon.

Both of those were really good. I haven't heard a lot of Yo La Tengo, that was pretty nice.



(also, there's a microphone somewhere in the house if that will help you )

Even though I've seen pictures of you, I still always imagine you look just like Mike Greenberg for some reason. This recording fucks with that image.

 

[PhilsFan]

Anything that can both separate Mike Greenberg and I AND fucks with the images in your head is a good thing.

Very nice Peef, especially the playing. When the song was in your range, you were spot on and sounded wonderful, you have a very nice voice. A few points where it dipped too low, but I'm sure you realize that.

I have a bone to pick about the "Very very frightening" lyric though

 

[Dalton]

When Peef's nuts drop that song is going to be perfect for his range. Well done.

ETA - I'm not kidding though, whenever I see Greenberg, I think of you. I have no idea why that is.

 

[corianderstem]

Nicely done!

 

[PhilsFan]

Thanks, gang.

Except you, Dalton. I'm reporting your post.
