Here’s a cover of Joy To The World that I recorded on my Roland VS-2480 multitrack recording machine.

Thanks for the bash !

I love this!! Vocal is perfect man, I love the harmonies and how tight they sound.

I like the different guitar parts on each side and how they work so well. I religiously double track rhythm guitars on everything, maybe it’s time for a bit of variation.

I would have gone for a more compressed drum and less mid-focused guitars. Otherwise, great cover man!!

Thanks for your comments!

I almost always double my rhythm guitar parts too.

I just pulled up WAV files for this song to see how many guitar tracks I recorded. I was expecting to see 2 or 3 tracks but I actually have 5 guitar tracks. There’s a total of 3 guitar parts. Guitar 1 is doubled (total of 2 tracks). Guitar 2 is doubled (total of 2 tracks) and then there is Guitar 3 (Not doubled).

First thing first: you meant you recorded using your Roland device. Does the mix is also come from it?

As @JonniKELANA, vocals are the best part to me.
I would like to get some more guitar attack sound (a bit more hi end maybe)
I don’t want to copy previous comment but I agree with it.

Very nice song and recording, it works well together I think.

I’ve been looking back into my files to see if this song was mixed on my Roland VS-2480 or on my laptop with REAPER). I can’t find the Reaper Project for this song, so I’m assuming it was mixed on the Roland. BUT, I am not absolutely certain of that…

I remember using a Waves CLA plugin on the snare and kick drums of 2 of my Christmas song covers (We Wish You A Merry Christmas and The Twelve Days Of Christmas). So those 2 songs must have been mixed in Reaper…and yet I can’t find those projects in my Reaper Projects List. Maybe I put the full projects on an external hard drive. I never delete any of my files, recordings or mixes. I did find the individual files on my laptop but I don’t have any Reaper Projects with those Christmas songs…except Silent Night. :thinking: I’m a bit perplexed !

I’ll have to check my external hard drives to see if there’s any Reaper Projects of those Christmas songs.

Yes, I tend to agree. The guitar needs more attack and bite.

Thanks for your comments!

Wicked,
Instrumentally, sounds somewhat repetitive at times. Other than that, it sounds good! Vocals are good. Still kind of funny for me to hear a punkish Christmas song, but better than singing about anarchy. You kind of remind me of Bowling For Soup; not a bad thing. Rock on!

Yeah, it’s not too rebellious. The Sex Pistols would probably change the lyrics to make it ant-Christmas. Maybe a few curse words would liven things up ! :smile:

Thanks for listening and commenting @aaron_aardvark !
