David Bowie - Space Oddity.

Date: November 21, 2006 @ 3:00 AM

Hi, I've just finished recording my cover of 'Space Oddity' by David Bowie, hopefully you've heard of it. This version is a little different as I have added some lead guitar in the intro and improvised the solo in the middle. Well to be honest, all the lead is improvised - I always feel like changing things a little rather than imitating the whole song. The recording quality is slightly better than my other ones but I'm still not sure how to get rid of those wierd hisses and background noises - I am using my computer microphone to record everything except the electric guitar (effects pedal). This is probally one of my better recordings so please take a look and tell me what you think.

Hisses can just be removed with eq such as a shelf or notch for the higher frequencies (or just rolling off depening on what it is) although that can also remove a bit of brightness depending on the level of hiss (although granted, some mixes have too much brightness to begin with) yet you can also add a bit of air afterwards; background noises are a bit harder depending on what they are.

One of my own favorites is actually "Ashes to Ashes", which I've been watching the video of a dozen times today.

Anyway, I'll have a listen in a bit...
