General Music Chat

Hey everyone, Im back with more music for you. This time its a cover of Time Is Running Out by Muse I did with a friend. We have the original song as foundation and took the cover in a different, much heavier direction. I see it kind of as "when alt rock meets heavy metal".

I did the instrumental arrangements for this one, my friend did the vocals.

I wrote 2 guitar solos for this, one of them is fairly shreddy, and tried to explore a bit into alt-rock leads here.

Have a listen and let me know what you think!

BTW tried utilizing Cubase`s MIDI humanizer, so feedback on the now humanized drums is very welcomed. Its also my first time recording vocals, so Id love to hear tips on this too.

Good guitar playing as always. the drum track is a bit better on this one than your last attempts but cymbals are too loud in the mix. Vocals are somewhat muffled in tone - was this EQed, or just the recorded sound? If no EQ was applied then it might be your recording space is too 'dead'.

Vocals werent EQ`d and honestly I have no idea how to EQ them. The space being too "dead" is probably true, we just set up a mic in my room, and this too is something I have no idea how to improve.

If you can't record the vocals in another room that isn't so 'dead', then apply EQ in whatever audio DAW you are using. Lower the lows and mids (better to lower EQ than raise it), then raise the volume up, this will add some 'highs' to the tone.

Thanks Mike! We will be doing another cover soon, Ill give it a shot.
