Moving Closer ^_^

Ever since I've seen them perform live, I have been a huge fan of Never The Strangers. This local band made a lot of fans from their popular Close Up theme song, Moving Closer.  I was really amazed when I have seen this band played live. They have tons of really good songs. And Yes! I did have a copy of their album ^_^

For our first finished project for this year, my boyfriend and I did a cover of Moving Closer. Of course, it is not your typical cover song. We did a punk version of Moving Closer.

I admit it was indeed very hard for me, considering the fact that most punk songs have high-pitched voices. I did the vocal cover at his house since he has better equipment than me. I lost count on how many times I repeated the recording because I am not hitting the high range that he wanted. As for the guitars, my boyfriend made it sound heavier compared to the original in order to achieve the punk effect. Also, a guitar solo was added on the song outro. For the bass track, I recorded it at home using audacity and send him the file for him to mix and edit. He used Adobe Audition for recording, editing and mixing of the whole song. Just don't ask me what he used for the drums... I really do not know.. :D

To sum it all up, the combined output of our efforts really sound great in my opinion. And add the fact that we learned new stuffs about recording, mixing and editing. So here it is, uploaded via soundcloud. I'll update this blog once we're done processing the video :)




Thanks for listening. :D
