Yes, I like it.
But I think you should go a bit further and make a more impressive version as the Visage itself have done in 2014 with his "Orchestra and Synthesizer" version.
Any way, can you explain us a bit of the inner work? Software, Hardware and MakingOff ...
Hi, I went "further" where I wanted to go
Maybe not for all´s taste, but you know...
Okay, I´ll try to tell some tech things about the cover:
There are 3 different voices, recorded with a Shure SM58 Mic. The choir effect "fade to grey" was created by recording multiple tracks of two of the voices. I used Cubase 5 for this project on windows machines, running win7 64bits. Synthesizers used: physical Juno 106 (for the main sequence along the song), physical Kawai K3 for the "monophonic melody" sound (external delay and fx added). Choir voices are from Kontakt program (Symphony of Voices). Drum rhythm sound is from Halion, reinforced with a bass drum of the TR707 played with an Akai S3000XL, and some extra snare drum samples. It´s also used the Wavestation for some strings, as well as the Superwave VST synthesizer for more stringed sound. Chimes sound are from the Wavestation, and there are several layers of fretted and fretless electric guitars. The glissando bass sound comes from an electric upright bass the a friend of mine recorded in Germany. The mix was mainly done with a Behringer BCR2000 controlling volumes of the mixer in Cubase. The mix was done by recording lots of automations in volume changes, pan, mutes, etc. There were heavy use of soft limiters/compressors in the vst fx chains. Finally, after a bit of touch with Cool Edit Pro 2.0, I got an extra volume mastering the mix with Izotope Ozone.
And complete work took more than two years since the start. I had no hurry.
Mmmmm more or less
Any question, please ask
