Yes, there was another user who posted a link to a Facebook posting of a totally different user. The posting party should have known better. The singer had little control over someone else linking to her cover posted on line. PG staff should have addressed that post for it's obvious copyright violation. Again, it's their rules, not mine. I do tend to point out cover/copyright to folks who are new or rarely come in here just so they are aware of the rules for future reference.

We do have at least one user here who records covers and does do it the correct way, getting the license and posting that information in his posts.

I commented on that cover post but my comments were sidebar at best and nothing related to the performance.

Perhaps now that PG staff are visiting the forums they can enforce the rules they made.

Anyway, I didn't intend to come off sounding like a forum cop.... it was intended to be a friendly FYI.

On to other things now.....


Pitch issues: Start at 1:24 thru 1:36 and again at 3:20 when this same part repeats. These pitch issues are not huge.... but subtle and there's also an "unsure quaver" in the held notes. Different from a natural vibrato. With Melodyne it's a quick, transparent fix for both issues. I mentioned the pitch issues only because this song is an otherwise flawless performance once you get the EQ and reverb issues on the vox resolved.

Even though it's a cover, I'd love to hear this with the vox track fixed.
