You guys sound like twins you are so right ron, i went to bed just after i posted this last night, so didnt really have time to compare them, i thought i was doing something vastly different from hoop, what with messing with the effects etc. but after listening this morning to the songs side by side, its spooky how similar the voices are. |

I dunno, I don't get that.... You're the man with da muse, Mr. Higgins. When doing a cover, I think it's hard to not try to emulate the original. I like the way your rendition avoids that trap. And from an engineering viewpoint I like the way you got the stereo fx out of the mono input... a good trick to remember!
If you want to send me a mix (192 mp3) with just your stereo vox, panned hard R/L.... I'll get you a mix with the bgv's. Want to put it on Nevermet?

Well actually, Old Jim recorded and sent me a second take on his lead vocal for Cowgirl today... And it looks like he's also recorded and posted two other vocal collabs on the same day! Talk about power  Thanks for the good work, Jim. I think it really helps out the recording.

hi hoop, i think you should bring up the backing vox a bit and bring me down a bit in the mix, i think i prefer the version with mad effects on my voice but only coz it hides a lot of my faults on this version there is nothing to hide my weak vocal style behind lol. saying that, its the fragility in neil youngs voice that makes me love him so much in the first place.. |

great track hooper! i have 1 question.. do you use the inbuilt mic for your vocals? if so what effects do you use? im having trouble getting a good recording of my voice.. its often to quiet even on +8 db.. and i find im having to lower the levels of everything else. |

I believe that both the vocals that Jim (OldRottenHead) and I did on both versions of this song were done using the On-board mic and the ForNylon preset. From there I also like to EDT (edit) that preset and turn ON the ENH (enhancer)
Then you do need to work the mike pretty close... 6-8 inches. |

Awesome piece of work Hoop. I really should start writing stuff down as I bounce. Many times I have wound up searching through a MBR full of V tracks wondering where the hell I put that acoustic picked part! See ORH got in on the act again ... another great take on the vox there mate! |

Thanks, Steve and welcome to the forum.
2-3 months? Go ahead and get over that little learning curve at the beginning and start making recordings! Lots of fun and don't hesistate to get some good help from the friendly folks who hang around here.

Totally agree! 'Harvest' is one of favourite albums (and my favourite when I'm listening to it...!). You have that same quality of vulnerable honesty - and it's a damn good thing! Great work guys. And some superb guitar from Hooper. Just lovely. |

Hi guys. I love the stuff you are doing here. This is my first visit and it's just brilliant listening to what you have done.
I have a spreadsheet that I made for keeping track of where I was. Here is a copy. Modify and repost if you want.
