excellent. i don't know the original, so i'm not really sure what part is yours (singing apart, i mean)

a bit too lo-fi for my taste, tho.
I did everything...horn programming and all...compositionally, it's pretty close to the original.
I'm with Wopelka, this would sound better in full glory (16bit), but the effect is very...er....effective.
Way stylistic mate! Did you 'vinylize' it?
i haven't heard this forever, as others mention above sounds better than recall, and the sound totally authentic! wish i could do that.
Yeah, it's weird. I've never really used FX in the master section, aside from mastering compressors, (usually just ye venerable loudness maximizer), but I wanted the "vinyl" sound on this one. (It's a recording of a memeory, after all)

...but it's really interesting how it turned out. (I mainly used camelphat free and Grungelizer on it.)

Using the compression/distortion over the entire track really makes the track breathe, like on the vocals, where the delay/verb is really prevalent, but only when nothing else is going on. Everything steps forward to fill whatever space occurs...I've never really had that sort of interaction between sounds before, but it's pretty awesome...makes me wonder how I can get the same effect on non-lofi tracks...
er...is that actually you singing?!
Yup.

Wow!
If you said you actually went back in time to a `50`s production studio to do this...i`d find it difficult to to contest that!

Singing/arrangment/guitar/drums all first rate!
It`s a keeper!

Yeah, the singing is stunning... Really seems to have captured the urgent energy of the piece... :cool:
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.

superb... great vibe and great production.. amazing singing.

IMHO... To my taste it's slightly to much distortion / compression on the master bus.. and the bass is slightly too loud for the era ...

But screw all of that .. cause it still sounds excellant..:)

Kickass tune. Too much distortion. Singing fits it like a glove.

Impressed, I am :)
