Empty Rooms - Gary Moore cover

[Spudman]

I've always loved this song and just started messing around with the backing track. I'm considering this a work in progress because it was basically a project so that I could get to know Cubase 4 a little better (daunting program to learn).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and have feedback for me.

Good recording Spud, awesome guitar sounds and playing overall...

I´m not too fond of the piano sound though... software?

[oldguy]

Good job, Spudman, I'm just now giving it a second listen, this time through the headphones instead of the computer speakers..............much better balance and sound.

[street music]

Great job Spud! It sounds very nice , I'm not into great deals of distrotion in my own playing but you have just enough in this to give a strong emotional feeling to the words of the song. Vocals -Yours?

[tot_Ou_tard]

Spud you've gotta write a prog-opera someday.

[duhvoodooman]

Very nice, Steve! You do a really great job on these--playing, singing & recording! :bravo: :beer: :bravo:

[M29]

Very nice Spud, I enjoyed that very much! Some good stuff going on there, very inspirational, nice recording:AOK:

Thanks. Yes I did the vocals and harmonies. The piano sounds are from the backing track. Guitars are all mine.

I really like it Spudley! As always, the guitar solo work is very melodic, yet you surprised me a time or two in your direction. Cool!

:master:



Thanks brother for putting some feeling for change and hope back in me today im filled with anxiety bad!

[Steve206]

I am happily surprised. Nicely played with just enough of whatever that was.

With the computer based software, how many tracks are available?

Thanks,,

Steve

[helliott]

Very nice tune. How many takes for the solos? They're very smooth and ballsy.

[Algonquin]

Sounds great Steve. I'd like to invest in some recording software this year and try to do a little more recording as well... but as you mentioned, it can be daunting indeed!

[sunvalleylaw]

Hey, I forgot to ask, which guitar? I think of Gary Moore as a LP player, and I am curious what you used.

[Spudman]

Very nice tune. How many takes for the solos? They're very smooth and ballsy.

Thanks. Guitars are all one take. I played partway through and then decided to add a rhythm guitar. 2 guitars is all.

Steve206 - there are more tracks available than I'll ever use. I really don't know how many. Many audio, tons of midi, VST...it goes on and on. I'm just getting to know the program now.

Steve T - it was done with the Ibanez RG520 QS. It's very Les Paul sounding with it's thick mahogany body and sapele top.

[Steffe1973]

This I really liked!! Nice feel and soft playing! I however just like a LOT of
effects such as chorus delay and reeeeeeeeeverb on my vocals (because I don´t have a great singingvoice).
Anyways, nice man!
