DAngerer09 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I recorded an album and on it is a cover of Wilco's Misunderstood. I know a lot of you dislike it when people post links to their bands, but I thought since I have been posting on here for about a year and since it is semi-Wilco related, it could be acceptable. That said, I would say this is a fairly unique cover of the song. It is mostly piano based, with lots of keyboard sounds and such. It is not word for word, and some verses were left out. Should be the third song in the player: My Cover of Misunderstood Thanks for taking a listen. (The rest of the songs are all originals) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to hearing this ... I'll check it out when I get home from work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to wait until I get out of work to give it a listen. People should feel free to post music whether they've been here for years or a day. I think people only get pissed when it's apparent that someone created an account specifically to plug their band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 very different interpretation, but really cool!! i would call it an interpretation rather than a cover though, being as some lyrics were omitted and stuff... edit- did i just hear a bit of "joy to the world" in there? nice.

DAngerer09 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Haha, if you did hear a part of "joy to the world" in there, it wasn't really intentional. Most of the instrumental "interludes" consisted of me just improvising on the piano, then going back and added layers and stuff to it later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just curious Dangerer - you ever go to/play at Canal Street Tavern? I love that place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drazil Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 That doesn't even sound like the same song. I tried and tried to hear Wilco in there and couldn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 That doesn't even sound like the same song. I tried and tried to hear Wilco in there and couldn't. And...that's a bad thing? I really like it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks! A very heartfelt performance. Play any shows?My daughter just moved to the Dayton area last month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks for listening everyone, I appreciate the comments. Just curious Dangerer - you ever go to/play at Canal Street Tavern? I love that place!I've been there once to see a show. It is a very cool place. I don't really play any shows right now. I live in Athens while I go to OU, spend my 6 week Christmas break (stupid quarter system) and summers in Dayton. Maybe when I get enough confidence to play and sing in front of people I'll do like coffee hosue gig or something. That doesn't even sound like the same song. I tried and tried to hear Wilco in there and couldn't. Cool. I wanted it to sound totally different and put my own twist on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drazil Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Cool. I wanted it to sound totally different and put my own twist on it. I think your version is really cool - that's the way covers should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loldoctor Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 What did you use to record this? The ambient electric guitar with all the distortion about 1:30 seconds in sounded great. I do a bit of recording so I'm curious to learn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 yeah man, all the ambient stuff is wicked!how are you getting those noises? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 What did you use to record this? The ambient electric guitar with all the distortion about 1:30 seconds in sounded great. I do a bit of recording so I'm curious to learn. It was all done with GarageBand. We have a KORG Triton keyboard (that I only get to use when I'm home from college, which sucks), but I only used it as a controller for the sounds in GarageBand. You can really create some cool textures with some of the sounds and effects in GB. The distorted guitar line was me playing on my keyboard, but using a guitar sound in GB and adding some effects to it. I do play guitar, but this sounded ten times better than anything I could do. Also, vocals on that song and all the other songs were done with the built in mic on my iMac. I'm a cheap college student, so I have yet to invest in a mic for vox and acoustic guitar (could use a pickup too). So, that's where the sounds came from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loldoctor Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It sounded like an imac mic... haha. That's the first thing I thought when I heard the vocals. I used to use mine to record so I had an ear for it. I figured that was a keyboard, I wish my guitar had that kind of sustain! Good job for just using Garageband.

DAngerer09 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, I really need a mic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Shit, this is pretty nice. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loldoctor Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I bought an M Audio fasttrack and it works great. There's a better version of it for use with condensor mics that I wish I had bought, but whatever. It's also great because you can use digital guitar pedals and then route it out to an amp and basically save yourself thousands of dollars for pedals you only use once or twice.
