Hello!
This song was recorded late last year, and was the first full-length song i
mixed/recorded. It's a pretty innovative (meaning not really similar to the
original) cover of El Perro Del Mars - Change of Heart.
All of the recording/mixing was made with Ardour and the Calf-git plugin
pack + some various plugins.
The video to the song was made with Cinelerra, ProjectM+glc and GIMP.

Youtube-link <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsJMAnnu-1Q>
MP3 <http://www.tentenmedia.nu/?page_id=5> **(availible on the page)
*
Both video and music is among the first things I've ever produced using
respective software, so bear with me for some minor errors ;).
Please let me know what you think! And if you like the song, please do
spread it! =)
Regards!

Hello Gabbe,
As I know El Perro Del Mars from my favorite music station this
immediately drew my attention. Great stuff! The guitars do sound
overdriven, is that intentional? It sounds a bit as if you either
recorded them at too high levels or that you used some kind of
compression on them. And the delay on the guitars sometimes wrench a bit
too. The guitar parts are wonderful and well played and timed though.
But then the vocals, OMG, I just love them! I adore those kind of female
vocals, no vibrato, a bit etherical, brilliant! And they blend in very
well. Again, great stuff! Thanks for this!
Best,
Jeremy

Hello Gabbe!
This is beautiful. so simple - where the arrangement is concerned - but very
powerful. And all the effects (pan, doubling) so VERY well used. amazing! And
I agree with Jeremy about the vocals, very sweet and clean, just as I love
them. :-)
And yes the acoustic guitar distorts slightly around the first chorus (we
will never stop...). Most notably after that chorus. But then it stops again.
Otherwise: A very beautiful piece, lovingly arranged and mixed. I fear to
imagine what you might do with a complete band. :-)
Thanks for sharing, warm regards
Julien

Nice everything.
Too bad the saturation at some points.
What mike & preamp (if any) do you have (for the voice)?
Maybe you don't remember, but what effects did you put
on the voice (compressor, eq, reverb, what reverb software,
and so on)?

First of, thank you very much all for your kind words!! =)
About the generally *bad* mixing: I actually mixed this on regular old
Creative-speakers. Some of the guitars especially are boosted so much in the
mid (to compensate for the speakers) that they probably will distort in some
speakers. I could go back and remix it since I now have real monitors, but I
feel as the song kind of represents the skill level and mindset I had at
that particular time. I like "glueing" a song to that specific time when it
was fabricated =).
The FX-chain for the vocals is:
Calf 12band EQ (just using the lowpass to eliminate unnecessary freqs under
100hz)
Calf De-esser
Calf Compressor
Calf 12band EQ (regular song eq-work)
Calf Vintage Delay
Fader
Calf Reverb
All plugins from the Calf-git LV2 pack =)

Hi Gabbe,
I've been listening to it a few times and listening to the original. Well
what can I say ! You're cover is truly and by far better than the original
to me !
I really like the way you singer sings, there's some kind of controlled
lazyness and I love the way she intentionnaly stumbles on the rhythm...
I also agree with Jeremy, no tremelo, no vibrato, just plain simple : good
choice !
The sound is really good even though on my Hi-Fi the voici is a bit too
strong and tends to shadow the guitars sometimes.
but it's an excellent job : I'm considering loading it on my mp3 player...
things i don't do often because i'm too lazy :)

Thank you very very much, you and all others for the kind words!!
She's very very talented, and I hope we can make some more tracks in the
future..!
Just having people listen to the song because they want to, more then to
evaluate, makes me extremely happy! You putting it on your Mp3 would make me
honored AND extremely happy, lol!

Outstanding performances and arrangement. Lovely vocals, I'm looking
forward to hearing more from her.
*Way* too much mids in the main guitar part. It's begging for some EQ.
Otherwise the recording is very good.
My compliments to all. Make more music. :)

Hey Gabbe,
I just want to say that I really like that song.
I first thought that I'm not completely happy about the singers style,
but it grew on me in a way (this was mostly about phrases she cut
short). So far it's definitely one of my favorites out of all of the
song I got to hear on this list, and I dare say that it's my favorite in
what I'd call the singer/songwriter category. Too bad it's a cover.. but
it's definitely better than the original. The video is not so special to
me, but it's not central imho. Anyway, thanks a lot, it's a really
enjoyable song.
7:01 p.m.
Thank you very very much! That's extremely nice words of you!
This really encouraged me, so I will shortly upload another song with
another singer and actually a rapper later on on this list! =) It's better
produced, but it's completely in Swedish so most probably won't understand
it though...
Anyways, I want to thank you all again for your feedback and kind words,
really makes me/us want to continue to evolve!
THANK YOU!
