DaSilvaSings Jefferson's Airplane "White Rabbit"

[dasilvasings]

Dear all,

I finished this cover early this year, after struggling with the vocals. It starts with an intro on the microkorg, where I'm simply playing with filters and tempo. I admit this improv. was not intended for the song, but in the end I decided to add it as an intro.

The music is quite simple, with a bass playing around, and a cavaquinho strummed basically in the upbeat (cavaquinho is just like an ukulele, but tuned differently and with steel strings). A VST hammond in the end.

The vocals were a nightmare. Not only Grace Slick is more good looking than me, but she also sings a lot better. I recorded 2 takes, and I glued them to add some sense of chorus. I then re-used one of them also as different track, with and octaver. I like to think of that voice as the white rabbit himself! Then I hitted hard on the BR600 for pitch correction - especially in the end of the song. Not enough, apparently the pitch correction doesn't correct 1 whole tone   . That's unfair! Cheap Boss recorders! but who cares?

Nevermind the bollocks, here's DaSilvaSings
