This is one of the most challenging songs I've ever had the pleasure of annoying my neighbors with. Dan Tompkins is an absolute beast of a vocalist and the album this song is from, Guiding Lights, is probably my favourite album released in 2014. If this is your first time hearing this song, please check out the original and support this amazing band by buying their music @ www.skyharbormusic.com/albums/
My goal for my next couple videos is to push myself vocally as much as possible; this song seemed the best way to start. I've got my vocals pretty high in the mix since I don't have an instrumental to sing over. For this reason and in the interest of time, I've only recorded the main vocal parts, the harmonies I left to Dan. He does a swell job of it anyways.
For the curious, the audio for this cover was recorded using:
Reaper
Shure sm7b
Mackie Onyx 1620i
and a little help from my good friends: EQ, Compression and Reverb
The video was recorded using:
Panasonic Lumix GH3 with a 25mm 1.4 Prime Leica Lens
Edited on Power Director 12
If anyone has questions about vocal technique, if you'd like to hear my voice on your music, or anything at all, feel free to comment below and let me know.
Thanks again for checking it out.
