Title: Leathers Cover
Post by: afxwinter on Sep 24, 2012, 12:29 AM
Hey guys I've been really digging the new track and have been messing around with doing a possible full cover. The only issue is I can't sing anywhere close to Chino's style so I'm not sure if I should bother doing the whole thing in my own style.
Some feedback would be awesome!

I like your vox, keep running with it!  And awesome scream!  Guitar doesn't sound right during the verse - too punchy, not enough swing.

im diggin the instrumentation on the chorus, not so much the bridge (or pre.chorus). about the vocals, i  would just leave it instrumental, you're way low.

Yea I like your voice and screams but they just don't suit the song too low.

If that sounds more like Deftones then I don't want to listen to Deftones.  No offense, but I found those vocals pretty scary.

Chino's scream is better, but a good scream nonetheless.

Thank you!
Maybe I'm palm muting too hard and it needs to be a little looser.  I'll try to listen harder for what sort of rhythm he's got going on for that part next time I get a chance.

Thanks, yeah I was a bit worried the song would lose some energy an octave lower on the vocs.  I may give it another shot because I'm happy with the scream and parts of the vocs, just not everything as a whole.

Lol my fiance said the same thing about the scary vocals.  I find the lyrics are pretty dark so I may have taken it a bit too far there.

the scream was dope. i think it would be cool to hear chino sing the chorus lower like this

Id say if we were close by, you should let me record the vocals. I've been told by many that I can match Chino very well. And I mean, the dude taught me to sing, he's my favorite singer, and Deftones are my favorite band EVER.

So, I think we've established my vocs are mediocre at best.   ;)
How do you guys feel about the guitar and bass tone and drums, along with the mix in general?
I tried going for an ultra-thick bass heavy mix for this.

They are decent considering you most likely did everything yourself in a home studio setting.

I think the music is quite good.
