Well, I break this rule all of the time as I do covers as an engineering
exercise to see how close I can get to the original sound of whatever.
Learned a lot that way, but they're not intended for public consumption.
Keep them coming...
Best wishes.

Hi Tim.
Wow, thanks for that.
I actually have the same kind of view. If you're going to make a cover
the
same as the original almost note for note, just get a karioke backing
track
and add the vocal.
Cheers
Darren

Hi Darren,
Alice Cooper's rule for doing a cover is that it must add something to
the
original or you shouldn't bother. You certainly did that - works for me
big
time.
Best wishes.

Hi folks.
I've just uploaded the first draft demo of a track I've been working on.
It's a cover of the George Benson classic, On Broadway.
I'm sure he'd hate it, but I've had a lot of fun recording it so far.
http://soundcloud.com/the-karmistry-project/on-broadway-demo
I've used Stylus RMX, Trilian, Omnisphere and the VP-550 in this
recording.
Needs a little more variety in the drum track, but I'd say it's 90% done.
I'd love to hear your thoughts good or bad. It certainly won't be
everyone's cup of tea, Dawn, my partner hates it with a passion.
Cheers
Darren
