Rough Cuts #6 - my cover of "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons

Hello again, Hive, I hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday!

Today, I'd like to share with you another one of my rough recordings with the fancy mic setup I used in Rough Cuts #2. I was able to get the room mic up high enough that it was off-camera for this recording, and I think it did a better job of capturing the sound overall, but the vocals had a bit less pizazz in the midrange.

My little knock on the guitar, which I usually cut from the videos, is a trick I use to make it easy to synce the video with the audio. The knock makes a nice little peak at the beginning of the track, which makes them super easy to line up:

It seemed weird to cut the messed up beginning after leaving in the knock, and this song still comes in under 3:30 with the mistake left in, so...

Besides, these are supposed to be rough cuts, aren't they?

Hope you all enjoyed! I'm nearing the end of these early videos that I recorded, and can't wait to get to work on something even better to share!
