I used a Boss GT-8 multieffects for this one. However, i've been recently testing Guitar Rig 3 and sounds really really good. I'll probably use it in my next cover so you can compare.
Great job! This was my favorite track off that album - you sounds pretty close to the real thing. If my voice were a little bit higher, I'd have your (and Bono's) range, so I'm slightly jealous.
I understand that feeling perfectly, I do have a very low vocal register, and when you see someone like Ernie hitting such crazy notes without any effort, all you can do is grab a knif... i mean admire his skills.
About the feeling thing, when I record these covers I obviously need to be very concentrated in order to achieve a good result, so, although my face doesn't express it when playing, believe me, I enjoy every single second more than anything.
joder! me acabo de dar cuenta de que eres de barcelona!! yo hablando en ingles como un tonto XD pues eso, a ver si nos tocamos un cover o algo jaja. perdoname por no haberme dado cuenta antes
do you like the live version? in my opinion, album's one is better, but is the only moment when larry stand from the drums for a walk around the 360 stage XD. did you go at last to the first barcelona's concert? i was in the qeue one day and a half before ( i was number 121).
Comparto tu opinión: musicalmente considero la versión en directo un... "crimen" ejem! Pero como bien dices, es parte del show y la única oportunidad que tiene Larry de huir de la bateria, asi que les perdonaré!
En el primer concierto estube en grada, pero en el segundo hice cola desde las 8 de la mañana. Mi número era el 407, pero tuve mucha suerte y estube en primera fila delante de Edge. Fué increible!
wow! hablas español asi de bien? yo tambien estuve frente a the edge en primera fila, pero mas bien hacia el lado del escenario. nos habian dicho que giraba tambien la parte central y nos pusimos ahi con la esperanza de ver a todos mientras giraba el escenario, pero no fue asi. de todas formas, lo disfruté muchísimo. Me encantaria que algun dia tocasemos algun cover de U2,me encanta el equipo que usas. yo tengo una explorer epiphone
Hey Mini Edge... congratulations! We tried to talk to you before. Did you receive our message? Why don't you join the Get On U2 Project? We'll be glad if we could talk better about it. ;-) Hope see you soon.
You guys share ur passion for music and U2 with us. We really appreciate it.
One critic remark from my side: The sound is hollow maybe you can replay it.
You showed us already there is a lot of talent among both of you...now you should create an imago..here in Holland they are looking for good coverbands..make ur hair long and paint it black and buy some nice glasses dude!
I believe I maybe guilty of using a bit too much reverb therefore causing this "hollow' sound. I'll speak to my music man miniedge and see if he has any suggestions. I will definitely keep this in mind for future recordings.
Again a great cover from a great song, well done. One remark, it seems like Ernie was in the bathroom when he was singing (hollow sound). The high notes he gets fine.
I've just noticed that he plays both chords, first the A minor and then the C for the ending. The funny thing is that before recording it, I played it with A minor, but then I watched the letterman live, and I probably listened to the last bar and said "oh, he does a C instead". What a disaster I am. Well, at least also fits the song.
You're also right about the bass, I don't have any bass equipment so I can't manage to get a good sound, but well, it's okay.
Is this the first comment?? It's my honer!!! What can I say for this magnificent video? What can I say about you? What can I say about Ernie? What can I say about Jessica? You're all wonderful!!
wow ernie.......how old are you 30? get a job....and tht ching chong should get a razor for her oits...great job miniedge!!

Singer did much better in "Magnificent" than this. The echo added into the singer's voice was unnecessary. Takes away the crispness of the tune.

We've recieved many comments regarding the reverb in the voice. We are using shorter types of reverb in the new covers to make it sound better.
Thanks again for your advice.
