The Wind Cries Mary
This may be a bit boomy sounding but I like the sorta vintage sound that was captured. I get a little much on the "Mary" when singing too but it's how I like to sing it. I try not too but then it feels forced so I just figure "oh well". I also chose not to do a note for note solo and added by own improv to it.
What was used? Fender JV Strat into the Peavey C30. Mic'ed with a Shure Beta 57A and direct into the Zoom MRS-8 multitracker. Mastered in Cubase using Ozone 3.

Pretty cool job on this one. Your voice sounds great for the song. I've heard other people try to do it and they sounded like Robert Goulet. You don't. And I agree with not doing the solo note for note. What would be the point? It's already been done. It should be a time for freedom of expression.

Thank you for the very nice comments
Justaguy, I believe I used Ozone on the individual tracks for flavor. On vocals I think the preset used was vocal specific. After mixing down to one stereo track, I then import back into Cubase for mastering and here I use a little VST Vintage Warmer + Ozone (preset is commercial Vinyl - for an appropriate approximation of the era).

I love reading this stuff, it's like reading a chinese menu, really though It gives me something to look up and learn.
I think I would have a hard time posting a picture, let a lone posting a clip.
I applaud you all good job.

Very nice indeed stingx your voice fits very well and this is a tough one to do. The tone on your JV sounds sweet and the recording sounds nice and open.

Excellent Pete! I liked your vocals, liked your solo, and always like your rythym playing and tone of your JV. Well Done!

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Really has the 'feel' of the original without being a copy cat performance - well done!

Good stuff, Stingx! I like the 'boominess' of the track, too.
