have any sample of the rock cover ? just show some here as ref...

You guys definitely need a good audio engineer. As far as I can see, there is absolutely no problem with the audio tracks, it's just that you probably need to EQ the mix a little, probably make the tracks a little more uniform by using capable sound equipment at least, and try to bring out the tracks which sound muddy and under powered here.

But anyways, I'm part of a cover band too, and I was thinking of starting my own little cover project since we're waiting for music college to start and stuff. You interested? We already have quite a few capable people in our circle of band mates already and we're not averse to bringing our equipment to any willing collaborators house to record them personally.

Hey guys,
Here is the drum cover for the song in MP3 format.
It's abit fancy though and few noises., tell me what you guys think.

I'm using adobe audition and didnt realise that it can't save as DAW format.
im going to re-record it using Ableton 8 when i finish download it.

have decided on the song keys?i can start experiment a bit on the ori key first.will change once the final key is decided.anyway,m i still in for this 2nd project?just finished my final exam.haha.and what bpm is it again?

ps:rathead,later plz share with me drum only track.can just pm me for that.thanx  thats a nice drumming uve done by the way

I record this using an electronic XM-drum with the sound output to audition program and added some EQ effects.

There is hiss even before I start to record. will try to tweak some of the EQ to remove that.

I'm not sure of the BPM. have u find out?
will send you guys the drum track once i've record it using ableton.

He is using electric drums that's why its easier to record.

Hey rathead, good drum cover! I think your problem mostly lies with distortion. Make sure to adjust your drum levels so that it doesn't clip and distort! (The volume is too high for the computer to handle, causing distortion)

Good luck on the next cover guys! Sounds pretty good so far. I'll try to find some time to contribute in the near future.

yup. in the comfort of our room without annoying the neigbours 
Thanks bro, you are right it sounded noisy and hissy.
I've purposely bump up the EQ effects after recording it, if not the drums would sound "flat" as in it wouldn't blend into the song.

Will re-record it once I found out how to remove the hiss while recording it in a separate track.

Guys, the BPM is 83.

Guys, I wanna suggest this arrangement for the song.

BPM: 83
The song will start with a bang, not like the original song which starts which 2 bar measures of acoustic guitar. I suggest we do extra 4 bars of instrumental (all instruments) on top of the original song.

1. Intro(all) -4 bars
2. Verse 1 - acoustic
3. And I remember...[drum beats enter here]
4. Chorus...[all]
5. Verse 2..[all]
6. For the second 'All those crazy things'..[note to drummer, make the bass drum in quarter notes, the snare rolls in 16th notes in ascending volume]
7. Chorus
8. Bridge 1 - This is a violin solo
9. Bridge 2 - This is guitar riff
10. Chorus x 2.
11. End

Isit me or there are 8th notes crashes when chorus? Or was it open hi-hats...sounds so similar    (On your cover)

I do agree most of it,

For item:
1: doable, example intro something like paramore's - For A Pessmist I'm Pretty Optimistic.
2 - 5: agreed.
6: doable, i'll see what i can do to blend in.
7. is it all?
8 - 9: agreed. drum beat remain.
10: Chorus 1: All
10: Chorus 2: Maybe some guitar riff according to the drums beat
11: ok

hey guys,

here is the original + 1st draft-drum track
http://www.mediafire.com/?xr043ede4mh1nu0
open the Ableton live set file.

not really perfect, few mistakes because was in a hurry to record.
still haven't record the 4 measures intro. left a blank there.
Please experiment it with your own ideas to fill in some grooves.

and here is the MP3 drum-only track with added EQ from Adobe Audition.
