Rain (Beatles cover with a little help from Ringo)

[BerryPatch]

I was snooping around a few days ago on YouTube and found the cleanest isolated drum track I've heard of the great Rain from the 2022 Remix of Revolver. It got me excited to use it as a basis for a cover so I turned it into an mp3, slowed the track down as it was the fast take they did, and put it over to garageband. I ended up pitching the guitars I recorded down from A to G like they did on the record for  a lark . Although its a cover, I recorded the guitars with my new SM57 mic I bought as well as used my new Strymon Deco I bought about a month ago (AMAZING pedal to get great tape saturation and double tracking). Makes me wish I had a real drum kit to get similar drum sounds with. Enjoy...

Wow! Absolutely stunning performance and attention to detail. You've nailed everything, but the bass part is incredible - as close to Macca as it could be. Very clever and skilled production too. In a word: sumptuous! 

Right up there with my favourite Beatles tracks, and I live very near where they made the video for it (and Paperback writer). Always gives me a kick being there.

What a fab cover as Greeny said sumptuous seems to cover it loving the mix

[Jean Pierre]

Formidable cover ! everything is incredibly well in place ...thank you for that ...I like the cover faithful to the original

[StephenM]

ya gotta be good to be this good...
this is not just good though

it's fantastic.

I love the bass work bunches... it is legit as is all the rest. 

[StephenM]

cool to see you using Bandlab too...

for a freeb it is an excellent site, especially if you don't want to get lost in too much technical stuff...

but you figured out that bass sound... this could be a lost Beatles track

[hooper]

Wow, Wow, Wow!

Just excellent in every way. Walking in the footsteps of the masters...
Big time congratulations and respect on a killer track.

Another stunner. I don't think anyone else has mentioned it yet, but in addition to the very faithful (and awesome) bass playing, you also nailed the guitar arpeggios that were on the original. Was there any special technique you used to also get the guitar tone just right? Definitely pegging the treble, like on the original.

And having Ringo for your drummer doesn't hurt, either! 

Well done, Keith!

[Zoltan]

Sweet beetle on a stick! I think my ears came.
Together like in a get together. This sounds so fine and those vocals. So fine. So fine.

Note to self. I need that Strymon.

[Blooby]

Just bloody amazing. Everything is great, but that bass and those vocals... Just wow.

Loved this to bits.
