How about this.... I will listen through the hot 20 and commit to creating my best attempt at a full up redo of the first 2 minutes of one of the songs.

Disclaimer: I do not use any PG products

Why 2 minutes only? Most pop tunes these days vary production and flavor elements so many times in a full song, 2 minutes will take a whole bunch of critical listening and note taking that will translate into a couple of weeks at least of music making time. I will only post in this thread to avoid confusion about the source.

I did this once before for the kvraudio.com monthly song contest and the exercise was eye opening. I covered Beck’s “The Golden Age”.

I would challenge everyone in the thread to try a cover like this.

I will also share my listening notes and production notes in the attempt to copy it
