Just thought I'd post our 'band's' Myspace. It's a comedy band - we only have one mastered song - but please give it a listen. More will be coming soon. Cheers! Adam
I have been studying music technology for a few years now. One thing I really enjoy doing is recreating some of my favourite songs. Sometimes I like to get as close to the original as I can and sometimes I put my own thing in with it.
The other day I decided to try Imagine by Lennon. Now because it was recorded with modern gear, etc, it doesn't really sound anything like the original, but I wasn't aiming for that anyway. The drums on this version are way too loud and sharp. Unfortunately I deleted the multitrack so I can't do another mixdown! I also added a quite over-the-top choir section.
It is mainly to test myself and my ears. I think it sounds nice. But of course, it doesn't have the warmth the original does. Or vocals as I cannot sing!
Remember that MySpace reduces the sound quality to save on bandwidth or something, so if anyone wants a high-quality copy then just message me. I
'm not tooting my own horn, but I thought I'd find people here who'd appreciate this. I'd like if you could tell me what you think? Any mistakes, etc? It's 3rd from the top.
Be yourself, no matter what they say. Administrator

The piano arrangement is spot on! An acoustic guitar would sound good in this version too. Shame you can't drop the drums completely I think it detracts from the overall effect. Great effort though - do you have any other examples of famous tracks you have re-recorded?
