Cover of Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight"

[stingx]

Time to fire up the wayback machine to 2004 when I recorded this cover. I had to check a really old posting to verify the facts of the recording because it's been some time. I used my old Schecter Diamond Series PT guitar for the recording. I remember debating which guitar sounded better and somehow ended up using the PT. I had just updated my PodXT to the latest version that had come out at the time and tweaked a new patch for the tone. I remember I really liked the combination of the PT's neck humbucker (coil split) with this patch. Anyway, I have no idea where the backing track came from (or where it has since gone to) but I remember heavily modifying it in FL Studio to get the drums to sound to my liking. I believe I used Cubase at the time to record this with. I don't remember if any plugins were used on the guitar tracks but I recall using a VST plugin called Endorphin on the vocals with a bit 'o compression.

Thanks guys. Yes, I am singing on the track as well as playing. I'm not particularly fond of my voice which is why I tend to do more instrumentals unless I can get a friend to do the vocals for me. Glad you liked this one.

Very nice Stingx !, vocals to boot ! you have a nice voice, nothing wrong with that at all.

[stingx]

You guys are way too kind. I'd love to free up more time to do another tune but the little one demands too much attention at the moment.
