Led Zeppelin - Virtual Collaboration- Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

Billyvander recorded this terrific cover and Stratobiker suggested I try adding some vocals. Billy agreed, and here we are. Thanks Billy!

This song was harder to sing than I thought. It's got lot's of emotion and gobs of dynamics. Billy's arrangement was slightly different and this was a little tricky since the original is burned into my brain. I think it really works though.

If you notice, there are a few extra bars in the middle (that I filled with a little two part interlude) , and one less GTR solo verse right before the end.

I basically sang it live except for a few short two part tracks I used to fill up a few bars and some background on Billy's short solo. The vocal effect is a flat plate reverb with a somewhat long decay. Vocal are panned slightly left and GTR right. I think as in original. I find it listens better with earphones because of the stereo separation.


Hope you like it!
