Portishead Humming ( instrumental cover ).wmv

Tried to keep it as close to the original as possible. I dont usually do cover songs, but felt like doing this one. It´s all "original" except for the intro fx ( 2 secs ) ...sampled that... IT HAS NO VOCALS...comment all you want

Did it with:
- Ableton Live 7
- Kontakt 4 with Garritan Orchestra ( cellos pizzicato )
- Edirol Personal Orchestra ( strings )
- Spook Keys ( theremin )
- Luxonix Purity ( for some drums )
- GTG Vsti for some bass
- BTS Theremin
- my voice for some fx
- Vinyl scratch samples
- Snare samples
- EQ, compressor, dynamics...

First of all.. I really like it! It's really good! Just a tip (if u like...).. Pitch down the drums by 2 or 3 semitones, add a little bit of distortion on the overall mix and maybe add a bit of vynil noise ir so. The roghness will take ut closer to the original and overall it will sound more 'portishead' (IMHO).

@IllCarl

Hi, i agree...i intended to add some roughness to the mix and do something about the drums, but with a five months kid at home, time becomes subjective...lol. I decided to leave it like this...Glad you like it. Now i have a little more time, maybe i´ll do something about it.

Cheers
