Hello everyone, this is me Kshitij (Stupidus) in this late night one shot cover series of a wonderful song by one of my favorite bands of the jurassic era.

I have made this song at one go for all; 
For guitars, two tracks of guitar panned 70% left and right, both recorded separately, a bit of reverb sprinkled, Pod Farm 2.5 Acoustic Patch and you have it, the background. Then a guitar, center panned, Pod Farm 2.5(I made the patch so no name) with a little delay and reverb.
And For Vocals, nothing but reverb and a little compressor.

Gears used are:

This song has been an ultimate memorial of the best days of my life, and how they passed by and I never knew. My friend Lennon introduced me to this song, and so I thought to relive our times. Of course, there are hell lot of mistakes but as I said this is one take, I swear, and the last line is supposed to be "He feels it from his soul." but I repeated the first chorus's lines, excuse and forgive me. This is my first recording ever with my interface and gears, no mastering/mixing kind of stuff done just pure raw signal moulded into a mp3.

So enjoy, give me feedback. 
I am new to all this so help me out to make it better, suggest something or anything you like. All comments will be appreciated.
Thank You for listening.

When A Blind Man Cries(Deep Purple Cover)

Hello everyone, this is me Kshitij (Stupidus) again, in this late night cover of a very romantic song by my all time favorite band Queen. 

I have made this song at one go for just all; 
For guitars, two tracks of guitar panned 100% left and right, both recorded separately, with little bit of reverb, Pod Farm 2.5 Acoustic Supreme Patch. And for vocals, a bit of Reverb and Compressor  and in the end a bit of Chorus too for the chorus.

This is a song I heard the last from Queen and never know it existed until Scorpions live album Acoustica. Someone very special requested me to cover this song as she wanted to hear this in my voice so here it is and dedicated to her. I sucked at vocals but to tell you the truth, this is the hardest of all songs that I have ever heard in my whole life and it is almost impossible to sing it right at one go and no one can do it perfectly other than Freddie himself. But I went quite terrible throughout the song, made huge mistakes in guitar too with the Adim chord not being placed right on tempo. 

This song also had no mixing or mastering done on it, made within half an hour. 

Excuse all the mistakes, but I have decided to upload it anyway so give it a listen and tell your opinion about how soon I should quit Nemophilis and how bad I suck.

Love Of My Life(Queen Cover)

Hello everyone, me again. This track is one of the best tracks by the legendary band called DEATH, and is also one of my personal favorite. The lyrics are very inspiring and depict the nature of Human(apparently the name of the album, hence imaginatively). Though I haven't layered vocals yet. This song is dedicated to one and only, Chuck Schuldiner and the integral way he inspires me in every aspect of being a human, may he rest in peace and will be remembered forever.

This track is without the vocals, if you wish the tracks to be laid vocals upon or either wish to lay vocals yourself then please do let me know, the download option is open. It's more of a karaoke track.

Thank You.

Lack Of Comprehension (Death Cover)

Hello everyone, this is me again with a melodic metal song this time.
This is the band that actually got me into melodic music, I started metal with bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide etc and by mistake downloaded their discography and somehow ended up being their huge fan. This is one of my favorite tracks by Bodom, there are just the two albums (ie. Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper) which I absolutely love till now and don't know what has gone wrong with them in the new years.

This track is full of mistake but yes I tried, I have done hell lot of improvisations and experiments too. So hear it anyway and let me know how good or bad is it.

Silent Night, Bodom Night(Children of Bodom cover)

Hello everyone again, I am back after quite a long time with a very cliche Black Sabbath (or in general, Metal) song. This is quite popular among a huge amount of crowd out here, and even though I never liked this track much, relatively to the other Black Sabbath tracks of course. I am covering it for all those who know this song. Excuse me for the excessive use of double bass and china cymbals but they worked fine in the track, and this is the first track I have used Metal Machine EZX pack, bass drum is Tama Starclassic Bubinga and snare drum is Ludwig Black Beauty. And also this is the first track featuring (harsh) vocals too, which are not laid on acoustic track.

Paranoid (Black Sabbath Cover)

The chorus went pretty bad as I can't figure out what is exactly Steven doing to make it sound so cushy and laid back, I gave the try to three vocals (left, center and right) separately recorded and made the chorus part. This song was introduced to me by my best friend ever, it was a cold winter night as I remember. We sat on the coldest bare slab we found of a closed shop, smoking and parting our ways for the night, and he asked me to hear this song. When I refused he flashed me the lyrics of this song and I was blown away by the silent rebellion against shitty music. So this song is for him and that wonderful night. I have done some improvisations and tell me if you like it, solo is one take and my own.

Sound Of Muzak (Porcupine Tree Cover)

Hello everyone, it's been long again that I have submitted some covers. So here is one, my favorite song by far from a band called Opeth. I have attempted to cover this beautiful track with limited resources and time, as being busy with other project. The vocals were done at one take. Guitar solo and some parts have been improvised, hear it through and tell me about it.

The Leper Affinity (Opeth Cover)

Hello everyone, back again soon with this track right here.
This is quite a favorite track of mine by Dream Theater and had a wish to cover it since the moment I heard it. I never thought I had it in me to do this mighty Dream Theater song but eventually I made up my mind and did it my way. I have improvised the solo and the outro melody with a harmony 40 left and 40 right. This song is also the demonstration of my vocal range so I really excited about the feedback. 
And this song is dedicated to my best friend Akarsh who has stayed with me since oblivion and through hell and fire, never doubted and believes in me forever with all his heart, this is to you.

The Spirit Carries On (Dream Theater Cover)

Hey everyone, I am back after a long time with a very new song by one of my greatest inspirations Sir Elton John.
I always wanted to cover Elton John in my own style and had so many options to choose from, I never heard Tiny Dancer until it accidentally dropped in my playlist one night and I heard it. Also heard it in the movie Almost Famous, but I loved it on the very first time itself.
This is one track in which the keyboard is done by me, I tried covering it in a new way but I hope you get the feel of how I wanted it to be and sound similar it is to what I had in mind. The mixing went a bit bad I guess with the piano being a little bit distorted, I tried to cover it but still it left a trail. This mixing is definitely not my best, could have done more but due to shortage of time and will, I have ended up with what you will hear.
Well, I hope you like it. And this song is dedicated to my lady who makes me what I am and to slam the cliche; 'I wouldn't be half the man I am without her'. Thank you for everything.

Open Your Heart (Europe Cover)

Hello everyone, back after a long time. This song I have already covered before but did it quite crappy and will soon remove it, I had recently bought my Scarlett back then and wanted to do my favorite song fast and as it was. This is my favorite ballad by Deep Purple and is also covered by my favorite band Opeth in their album Ghost Reveries so I wanted to try it my way. Video coming soon for this one. 

This song is dedicated to you know who, and you know who you are.

This is the first track ever that I have used a condenser mic on, and tried my hand a little over mixing and mastering skills. 

Please do suggest and guide me so that I may enhance my mixing and mastering skills.

Soldier Of Fortune (Deep Purple Cover)

Hello everyone, back after a very very long time now.

This song was recommended to me by some of my relatives a few months back and I had it in mind and then a guy who was a really good friend of mine, he wanted to record it for his girl and I said okay. I mixed the track immediately and decided that I should also give it a try so at night I tried singing it, I had throat infection for three months straight and I recorded this song in my infected and hoarse voice by drinking tons of warm water. 

Anyway, I don't have anyone to dedicated this song to but this song must be special to someone, somewhere, so this is for you.

I had this track recorded 4 or 5 months back from now but I got out of touch with music and my laptop has some issues with internet so I have decided to upload it now.

Please do suggest and guide me so that I may enhance my mixing and mastering skills.

Here Without You (3 Doors Down Cover)

Hey everyone, back after a really long time(on soundcloud).

I've been a lot more active on youtube these days and you can check out my channel over there, I've uploaded a video for this track too. This is one of the best songs written by Guns N' Roses and I hope that I justify the beauty of the track with my interpretation of the song.

Please do suggest and guide me so that I may enhance my mixing and mastering skills.
