Filed under Uncategorized

This is a song by Avial, a Mallu rock group. Their songs usually introduce a fusion of traditional Mallu music with Rock which I love. Satyajit Sahu wrote an article on them. You can find it here

I have introduced a few new elements as compared to the original which include some bluesy backing vocals and some harmonies. Hope all of you enjoy this cover!

Home Recording – My 2 Cents for Newbies

21
Filed under Uncategorized

For a couple of months now, I have been meaning to write an article on mixing based on my experiences since a lot of folks have been asking me to. I must state that I am no expert myself and have learnt through trial and error. I started mixing about a year back when I joined Muziboo and did not know a whole lot and had noone to explain it to me at that time. So I started googling and reading as much as I could. This helped me get started. With each song I mixed, by objective was to learn one thing new. This kinda helped me improve slowly but surely. Later on I also got tips from people like Sunny and Jay that helped immensely. I hope this will help some of you improve the fundamentals and hopefully get you more inquisitive and start asking the right questions.

Tornado of Souls (Megadeth Cover)

megadeth-rustinpeace

Megadeth happens to be one of my favorite metal groups as they are super tight with excellent riffs, leads and ofcourse DAVE MUSTAINE !!! I love so many of their songs and was wondering which one would be ideal to cover. I picked this mainly coz of the aggression in the vocals, the cool riffs and leads. Used to listen to this a lot back in college. This goes out to Sudeip!
I think most of you will find this hard to digest:-) Its quite heavy and LOUD .. Please bear with me :-)

Trapped – Indus Creed Cover

During my college days, there were two Indian Rock groups that I totally loved. My most favorite was Colourblind. I remember taking a bus and going all the way to Jamshedpur just to get their debut album. My other favorite group was Indus Creed/Rock Machine. Today for whatever reason, I suddenly remembered this song, and just had to sing it. So here it is :-)

I have done all the harmonies and vocals in this. Some of the harmony arrangements are different from the original.

THIS IS MY TRIBUTE TO INDUS CREED , one of the greatest rock bands to come out of India!

Song: Trapped

introduced me to this sing and suggested we cover this. I was hooked to it almost from the start. When I heard the original, one thing was for sure, I needed Sunny‘s expertise as far as mixing goes. He was kind enough to agree to mix it for us and did a terrific job at that. It was a lot of fun working with Smitha on this and I think she did a great job. She did some neat harmonies too. Thanks for suggesting this Smitha and for all your hard work!

Song: Ahista Ahista
Film: Bachna Ae Haseeno
Music: Vishal Shekhar
