Don't let the sun catch you crying

Geir gets some outstanding recordings with his internal mics on the BR - Both Sides Now springs to mind. He's obviously got a different timbre to his vox and probably has a bigger car!

Sounds great, well done!! I don't know the original either, but I'll take this version as that!

Regarding your MBR batteries, sometimes they last, sometimes they don't! Get a couple pairs of rechargeables and recharge one set while you are using the other. I have a usb to ciggy lighter adapter for the car that works very well. It's not much money, about $15 US with the USB charger and you can recharge 100 times or better.

To be honest I wasn't expecting any interest with this one so it's a great surprise to receive all your lovely comments - thanks guys

Mark - what a great idea, why didn't I think of that (palm on forehead!)

[Hilary]

I have had people say they'd like me to post some of those raw demos...

I've got some Amy Winehouse demos with just her and a guitar (as you might have realised by now I've got a bit of a penchant for such versions) and she absolutely kills the vocals and then says 'was that alright'. I love them.

Haylie I loved this song, I have to agree with Andy about the guitar suiting the car more than you vocal, but still a lovely cover all the same. Personally I think all you car recording people are mad! Hook, Geir and now you! However I sympathise, I always have trouble with my vocal recordings, and after 8 months now I still end up unhappy half the time, so whatever works for you!

Thanks Andy but I don't think I'll be repeating the experiment! I've recorded another one today which I haven't got round to posting yet - Songbird - with the patented AndyR method of Rode positioning, I think it's much improved. You've got an awesome vox by the way and you sure can shred that guitar

"the patented AndyR method of Rode positioning"

!!!

I'm not sure it's mine... I think it's the way the "proper" people do it as well!

I actually decided to give it (close mic) a go after watching film of Agnetha Faltskog doing it in the studio.

Looking forward to hearing Songbird (which one? I'm toying with Barry Gibb's from the Bee Gee's Main Course album).
