Ha! Metal Cover of a Ke$ha song...w/ FAS Modern. Check it!

[jalonhall]

Hey dudes:

This is a cover I composed of "We R Who We R" by Ke$ha. I put it together a few years ago and thought I would re-record it. Haha...I have so much fun taking annoying pop songs and putting a little twist on them. I used the FAS Modern with some Ownhammer Mesa V32 IRs. I didn't mix anything or apply any post-processing. Check it and let me know what you think of it. And let me know how you like the tone! Thanks!

Wow, this is very different and I have to commend you on the tones and recording. I like the slappy, punchy compression and eq you used. It makes me want to eat week-old taffy and jump on a tramp-oh-lean.

[jalonhall]

@Johnnyh64- Hahaha thanks man. I love eating week old trampolines and jumping on taffy, myself.

[toolfanem]

I like it! Not sure that I should, but I do!

[jalonhall]

@toolfanem- Haha thanks for checkin it bro. You're not alone with this guilty pleasure...I jam this crap hard haha. I have a few more pop covers I'm working on that I'll post up here soon. Glad you like it...Thanks for the reply!

[toolfanem]

No prob! I especially like when the Chorus' drop! The chopped up vocals from the original track really work with that part well! Where are you getting the stems for these tunes?

[jalonhall]

I usually get acapellas from acapellas4u.co.uk but for this track I found a clean one on YouTube and converted it to mp3 at listentoyoutube.com.

[jalonhall]

Anybody who hasn't checked out this track please do so. I'd love some feedback on the tone and mix. Although I didn't do any real mixing. I'd love to hear some suggestions as far as my overall sound goes. Thanks!

[erockomania]

hahaha! awesome! Dig the tones. I might bring down the drums a bit but that's personal pref.. nice work! wait... was that work? lol

[jalonhall]

Haha thanks man. Yea the drums definitely need to be brought down. I didn't even touch the mixer aside from panning the guitar tracks. I just left everything at its default preset level.

Speaking of drums... yours sound amazing! Do you use live drums on most of your tracks? Im a Superior Drummer fanboy. I took a SD2 preset from Garell2(YouTube dude) and tweaked it a little bit. And I blend an Avatar snare with a Metal Foundry snare. I like them okay I guess but yours sound very good dude.

[Nemacyst]

Hahaha, this is awesome!

[toolfanem]

Maybe just a little less high end on the drums for me. And just lowering the whole kit would probably help make everything else stand out a little bit more.

my 10 year old daughter and her friends think this should be the real version

[jalonhall]

@toolfanem- Thanks for the feedback man. I definitely need to do a little work on the drums. Once I mix everything hopefully ill be good. I love your work by the way! What do you think of my tone? Bc I love your tones dude.

@kmanick- That is amazing. Your daughter and her friends have excellent taste haha. I have a few more chick pop songs im gonna retrack then I'll post them up. Maybe I'll cover an entire Kidz Bop album...
