Cannonball (Damien Rice Cover)

A cover version of Damien Rice's Cannonball recorded by Rob Yates.

It's taken me a while to get my head round the picture-in-picture concept so sorry about the quality. The guitar and vocals were recorded first with a second recording (overdub) of the piano part at a later stage (...ended up quite a long night!).

Hope ya enjoy,
Rob :)

do you really record the audio the same time you do these videos.

i love the sounds you capture man. awesome sound technician and awesome musician.

Thanks dude! Yeah the recordings are the actual audio corresponding to the film (recorded on a third party computer, mixed and then reunited at the video edit stage). The keyboard is quite easy to record because there in no need to mic it up - just record direct to desk (it's a korg triton with the grand piano expansion board). The guitar and vocals take a little more care when recording and often take a lot of attempts and a vast amount of film to get right!!....

wot software and mics do u use, really good sound btw

[bobajob1981]

thanx mate! I record onto Cubase SX. As for mics (....in this video anyway) vocals are recorded onto a Rode K2 valve mic. The guitar is recorded directly into the mixer through it's internal piezo mic. I also mic the guitar externally with a Sure SM58! Panning both guitar channels to opposite sides of the stereo field give a good stereo effect. Hope this helps :)
