Here is an indie-pop style cover of a light acoustic love song from Death Cab for Cutie's latest album. Please comment on the mix, production, arrangement, singing, anything :) Thanks for your help and time!

Jan 25, 2006 09:14 pm Listening now. Pretty interesting. You didnt stray to far from the original. I am a big DCfC fan. It is interesting to hear how others percieve music when they dover something. I must say you did a good job. The vocals only stray out a bit in the beggining and then you have it nailed pretty much the rest of the way. I like the interesting instruments you picked as well. Simple yet effective.
Jan 26, 2006 01:15 pm I'm also a DCFC fan.
A nice sound at the start though my preference does not like the fako drums.
Your voice is remarkably similar to me, I just can't sing like this which frustrates the heck out of me.
In summary: Your vocals were excellent, the music was mixed well, there was a touch of distortion somewhere - but the drums take the edge off for me.

Jan 26, 2006 04:44 pm I like it as well. It reminds me somewhat of the postal service. I like the work of the hihats and shaker(?) going back and forth on the speakers. Vocals sound nice. Way to go.
Jan 27, 2006 06:44 pm I'm not familiar with the tune, so I can't comment on how faithful it is to the original. I enjoyed it, and I like the electronic drums. Singer has a very nice voice, I like the effects you placed on the vocals too. Very clean recording. Enjoyed it.

Feb 03, 2006 06:16 pm Really enjoyed that. Don't know the song or the band. Drums don't sound good but production overall is great. Great voice as well.

Feb 03, 2006 11:53 pm Thanks for all of the comments, guys. I appreciate it. I kind of like the drums as being purely computer-made but I will look for better samples. Those are standard 808 retro samples.
Oh, and yes, that was a shaker :)
