Here's my take on this classic Kinks tune. I consider this a work in progress as I may want to edit where I double up the vocals and add something else instead. Anyway, I don't see many tunes posted by this great band so I hope you all enjoy this.

Edit: Thanks, Porty. I cleaned up the vocal tracks and reuploaded the file. I think I'll leave it be as I donut think I could mix the vocals any better.

WOOOOOO Stingy this is Fantastic hun!!!:bowdown:
Nice one mate - this is a massive song to attempt and you did good. the vocal levels are a little high at the end but nothing a small tweak wouldn't fix. :thumb:
Thanks for listening Naif and Rain, I always liked this tune and I'm glad you liked my version.

Thanks a lot, linda! I hoped you grabbed the edited version :lol:

I'm glad you enjoyed this and thanks for the comps on the vocals. I have to try 200% harder to nail those tracks than any other instrument.
I see you opted for the "cherry cola" version!!!:toothless This is gr8, sting!!!! I've been a Kinks fan since the mid 60's!!!:woot: Awesome rendition, bro!!!:bowdown:
Thanks SG! I appreciate you commenting.
it that acoustic done using fruity loops? if so it sounds pretty good. The mix is well sorted now and sounds good mate. I know how much work you put into your stuff nad that is inspirational to me. It was you that introduced me to plugins and mixing - I didn't even know cubase had plugins until late last year hahaha. Thanks mate and keep them coming :thumb:
:D Loved this rendition!

Porty, good ear! This track was a midi originally. I removed all the shit tracks and kept a piano, drums, and a piano doing acoustic. I switched the drums to ns_free, the piano I switched for a Steinway, and Ovation acoustic for the latter. I then added bass, electric guitar and vocals. Viola! I still think the mix could be better but I am not feeling so well to fart with it any more. I played hooky from work today cuz I wasn't feeling well. :icon_neut
Pretty dern cool version there... you sound a bit nervous in places but your voice is excellent for this tune! Well done!
Thanks, Rid :icon_thum
