So Dear Friends (Queen)

[IanR]

Hi there,

This is my voicefest contribution.

This was done in two takes.  One lead vocal and one overdub vocal.  It took about 10 minutes to record.  There are a couple of mistakes but overall I think its not too bad.

This is the song I'd like played at my funeral.

See what you think.

I'm not familiar with the original. Well done - sounds very "hymn"... Loved the harmonies and didn't hear any mistakes at all...

Nice clear crisp vocals here ,well done.

Thanks.  I bought an Audio Technica AT2020 mic a few months back.  Its a budget one but it got good reviews so I thought I would give it a go.  It does record very authentic sounds.

The only problem with it is when I record acoustic guitar it picks up my breathing as well.  I sound like a phone stalker.  The other problem is that it doesn't adjust my pitch when I sing out of tune.  

cheers,

Ian

Very nicely done brother!
Fest On!

Whoa, I missed this one! I don't know the original, but this turned out great...sounding especially anthemic when all your voices kick in at once.
