[FuzzFace]

What a great techno vibe you have created!  I wouldn't know where to begin making a song like this.  The whole thing sounds great, well put-together, sophisticated and light-hearted at the same time...

The Synthmeister strikes again!  Really well done Nick! Love all the synthy sounds, a cracking cover.

I'm listening with good ear-cans and this sounds fabulous ! Definitely an 80's sound but with a more modern vibe. Great post !

PS  I wonder what your neighbours thought when they heard those AH AH AH

[Hilary]

Oh another great cover Nick - you sound like to had a lot of fun recording this one

[64Guitars]

Love the synth sounds. What did you create them with?

[Bluesberry]

Thats a fab track.  Great cover.  It sounds so good and warm and synthy goodness. 

[ODH]

Thanks all.  Yes it was fun to put together.

Love the synth sounds. What did you create them with?

Mostly they're GarageBand synths; there's a lot of good capability in that thing. 

The reedy one under the vocal is from a softsynth called DXi, which is an FM synthesis modelling synth, like a Yamaha DX7.  I sampled that into GB and then programmed the melody.

The snare sound is sampled from another softsynth, Alchemy, which is an awsome tool.  The rest of the drums are GB.

I had to do that phrase six times in all!  As I say though, to indignity and beyond! The mix needs looking at; they're way too forward.
