Cover of one of my favourite tunes - Fragile. My only little take of the song. 
Still learning how to mix. Ahhh well. 

Gear used (misused)
Focusrite 2i2 into Cubase AI6
SE Electronics X1 mic
Ibanez Galvadore series classical
Spector Performer 5
CPK and LP egg shakers hahaha

Fragile - Sting (cover)

I was asked to put together a medley earlier in the year for the loss of a dearly loved one... This is the recorded version. Hope you'd approve Nick.

Medley for Nick

Few have seen me sing without a beer in hand at either a rowdy pub or a busy jam. 

Thought I would step it back a notch with this one. 

Guitar used is an Alvarez Baritone Acoustic which is tuned to B standard. The original song is in G, my version is in D - Two and a half tones down. 

This is also my first attempt at a semi decent recording having just purchased some new gear (Focusrite Scarlett Studio into Cubase AI6). So hey, what the hell! let's put it up for the world to see!

More to follow soon.

Blackbird Cover

Here's a tune by my good friends in Sydney based band -  Teal. Absolute awesome band, and I thought I'd have a crack at covering one of their tunes (which isn't easy, especially vocally seeing as Joe is a freak of nature!)

So my version is a little different but I tried  to capture some of the originals essence. 

I used an Alvarez Baritone Acoustic, Scarleet Studio CM25 mic into Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 into Cubase Ai 6. 

(You'll have to turn it up sorry, haven't quite gotten used to final mixdown output levels!)

GO AND CHECK OUT TEAL IF YOU HAVEN'T BEFORE!
