Modern metal sounds abound.
As a matter of taste I think the guitars are a little too fizzy. If they've been run through sims that would be the most likely cause. Actually, I did 0 eq, and 0 added anything beyond 1 run through a multi-band compressor. I had the intent of mixing it; then just decided not to and post it. I think the kit sounds pretty good though the kick drum isn't EQ genre specifically - the flicked aluminium Milo foil thing. I MUCH prefer a kick with more thud & thwack and less click as you've done it. I agree on the sound. I remember being in the studio a few times and having to tape quarters to both the beater AND the kick drum itself. THAT was different for me. Again, I didn't eq anything but do prefer more than a "click" from my kick.  If you're into arranging then you probably do have an inherent sense about EQ as that's, largely, what arrangement is about - fitting the sounds together. You just need tools that allow you to work intuitively. Reaper's parametric EQ is cool.
Big niose - well done. Yes, I very much try to think through orchestration's and arranging's play on EQ. Being I really am not into mixing or mastering I appreciate that art BIG TIME. It's just really not for me. Thank you so much for listening and commenting on the specifics. I love when people really give a listen and suggestions. The knowledge you and others have is always so helpful. Thank again!

HTL, It has been my experience (and a painful learning process) that with some of the real tracks that already have effects (the non DI ones) it is sometimes best to just leave them alone, or you can make them sound metallic or watery real fast. When I do my OWN parts I EQ them but have learned to be gentle. I thought the sound was great and had a wonderful dynamic range. Dynamic range is everything. I have a dynamic range meter going all the time when I am mixing (not even to master stage yet) and if I see a certain plug in on a certain track is squashing the dynamic range I take it the heck out. Perhaps some of the magic of your tune in the robustness of the mix may have something to do with the fact that you left well enough alone and DIDN'T fiddle too much. But heck, what do I know, I'm just an old peanut butter and banana sandwich eatin' country boy from Memphis with 1000 gold records, long sideburns, a beautiful wife and a Colonel. Peace out man. --The King  Yeah...me and fiddlin' has never worked out. Be it with EQ or and actual fiddle. I leave the fiddlin' to the fiddlers. If there is one intelligence I have it's that I know where I'm not intelligent. Suddenly I'm hungry for a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. lol Thanks as always for the listen, input, and laugh.

Jeez what a cool version of the song. I like to read all the comments before listening to the song. Got a chuckle out off Davids animated gif. Super backtrack and excellent vocal. It's funny you mention reading all of the comments. I'm always mixing up if I do or don't. Sometimes I like no expectations at all; other times it's nice to go in with a few ideas. I laughed at the .gif too. He's got a way with those. Thanks so much for the listen and comments! Always nice to read 'em. Joanne must be so pleased with all the different version of her lyrics... I sure hope she was. That's got to be a pretty great feeling!

This is what my version of the song wants to be when it grows up. I laughed when I read this. I love your version of the song! I know you were stepping out of your comfort zone and you knocked it out of the park. Well done! ...and I had no idea you were using a record spin effect either! They say great minds think alike. I guess ours do too Thanks for the listen and getting my sense of humor!

Just listened again because someone at FAWM is undertaking a similar challenge. Still love your version of these lyrics.

Knowing that you are going to interpret someone's work in a different way can be a bit nerve-racking when you KNOW you are going outside the box. FAWN fascinates me. I've always thought it would be fun to participate IF I was able to. I can't just yet, but in the future it will be fun to try.  Thanks again for listening another time and putting my mind at ease.

Very cool rock version of this song. The production is very well done and vocals sound amazing. Awesome! Sam, I so much appreciate you listening and commenting. I was VERY curious if you would give it a listen and comment. I totally love your work and what you do; so it's one of those comments I was really hoping would happen. So, a big thank you for doing this! Keep your songs coming my friend!

Oh YES, this really rocks! Great vocals and drumming!
…and when the cover version blows new life to the original, well,… then it's worth listening!!! ;-)
I'm so glad I didn't have the opportunity to hear the original. Knowing JC's previous works, I know I would have gotten what she did stuck in my head! This allowed me to envision various other artists singing the lyrics and how they might approach it. I much appreciate the listen and comments!

Wow - what a tune! Your rendition of this is spot on. It's incredibly unique to hear something like this on the showcase here. You really did an outstanding job. The vocal performance is great, the arrangement is great, the mixing is great - not a thing I'd change here. Fantastic job, and thanks so much for sharing I think it's so great that the employees are so involved with the forum community. I'm glad you found it to be unique. I did try to go a route I hadn't heard before. Thanks for taking the time to comment and listen.

I think I responded to all now. I am so sorry it took so long to do so. You all took the time to actually listen to something I've done AND express your thoughts on it. As a writer/musician that's a amazing feeling. So again, I say a "Thank You" to all of you that did. I truly meant a lot in a difficult time.
