"Whiter Shade of Pale" - cover by Ted and Kenny Mac

[Ted]

New mix and a fix.

I didn't sync up Kenny's vocals quite right in the original. Kenny noticed. I also added a little drama in the drums that wasn't in the original MIDI file I found on BitMidi.

this might be my favorite version of this song I ever heard...

I think I agree with you. When I was fixing the vocal sync, I listened to the original by Procol Harum to make sure I didn't screw up again, and... and... their version seemed kind of muddy mono after listening to our version a bunch of times.

Lovely collab chaps. The backing is perfect. It is great to be able to get those sounds from the SY-1, they are bang on. Kenny, what a vocal, sounds like you might have sung that before! Great stuff lads.

Today I listened to this on a car stereo. My Malagasy driver knew the song. He was whistling along. I don't think he had any idea he wasn't listening to the original.

Thanks again, Kenny. I'm really satisfied with this.

Meant to comment on this earlier - this is a faithful cover and also a massive collab! Amazing job using the bass to trigger the Hammond sounds (even if it was multi-tracked - it all sounds perfect), as well as prominently featuring some damned fine bass itself - bravo, Ted. And Kenny's vocals are the cherry on top.

Well done, gentlemen.

Fantastic cover. Great vocal by Kenny.
That SY-1 sounds awesome.

[AndyR]

This is a real tasty version.
I toyed with trying to get the organ sounds on this when I first got my Roland organ module... my playing's kind not up to it! Love the sounds you're getting here.
I hear what you're saying about several takes Most of my keyboard parts are multi-take, often left and right hand done separately.
And that's a cool vocal from Kenny.

I listened again to the versions of whiter shade of pale of Tedand Kenny Mac, AndyR,..and mine and it's really three beautiful versions, quite different from this great classic of the 60's
It's nice to have them together for a moment

Amazing job on this!  I am blown away that you were able to do the organ parts so well by playing a guitar into synth pedal.  That is really, really impressive, and must have taken a lot of work (and talent!).  And the pro vocals done on short order are equally impressive.  Great collab here!  I was interested to read that the organ part on this was inspired by Bach's ("Air on the G String").
