After 1 year and a half away from music projects (after quitting Hazy Hamlet), I think it is time to train to recover the strength of my voice, so I can get back to recording and singing live with Coltan Skull in 2018.
Decided to start messing with some cover songs, recording my own version for them. Here is Die Young (Black Sabbath).

No profiting, no copyright infringement intended - just entertainment and training.

Die Young (Black Sabbath cover)

This is my mix version of IVO - "Let Her Know" done for the Mix With The Masters / Softube contest - which has hundreds, maybe thousands or participants from around the world.

IVO is a Swiss pop/folk singer/composer, and the song was originally mixed by multi-award winner Chris Lord-Alge.

My take tries to recall elements of 80s radio songs (in timbres and effects) but with a hi-fi quality. I try to keep the pop/folk elements, bringing a bit punchier/roomier drums, with a heavier snare drums, 80s style solo ambiance, focus on vocals and panning automation on whistle in the end. 

I may be an old-school rock and metal guy, but it was a real pleasure to mix such well recorded song with the challenge of working with 39 distinct tracks.
