Well I've picked "Cry To Heaven"

I've linked two versions I did. One I recorded a couple of years back and one I did just this afternoon.

OLD VERSION - http://www.rosspomfret.com/media/mp3...-Meat-Loaf.mp3
NEWER VERSION - http://www.rosspomfret.com/files/Cry..._Meat_Loaf.mp3

I hope you can notice a difference and hopefully my vocals have improven since the earlier recording. Hope you like and enjoy.....
Ross

That's actually v good Ross, I like it and....I think I would say the new version is much improved on the older version, mostly in terms of tuning and the strength of your voice. Well done!

AndrewG · 23 Aug 2008, 22:51

Yeah pretty good Ross.

Thanks, actually thought you were right about the piano loudness. I've fixed it and added in some other stuff....

Surf's Up

meatloaf-unofficial · 23 Aug 2008, 23:18

I think also some of it is the fact that I've got a great new mic and new recording equipment. Plus I'm gonna study Sound Production so I'm practising with my levels

Oh Andrew.... any chance you could please send me "Surfs Up"? What a great track.. and I really like your version

You know what is a bit strange...that most of the submissions are actually made worse in some way by instrumentals...your voice is actually stunning enough to carry it off a cappella or just guitar...just like Mike's voice is stunning a cappella...

AndrewG · 23 Aug 2008, 23:53

I could probably have sung this better if I wasn't concentrating so hard on playing Surf's Up in E on the piano at the same time. I hate that key. But G is far too high. Rory must be from another planet imo.

I agree about Mike's version of Cry to Heaven. Don't think I commented on that one yet. It is very good, Mike! Probably the best a cappella version of a Steinman tune I have heard. He certainly pulls that off. I would not be so sure I could really.

However I think if all this stuff would end up on an album, I think just a cappella songs would be a bit boring really.

mszee · 23 Aug 2008, 23:53

Ross, it's absolutely great!!! It's better than anything I've ever heard from you and that was pretty good too!

meatloaf-unofficial · 23 Aug 2008, 23:56

Just an idea Andrew,

Could you record the piano first then record the vocals after if that would make it easier?

I'm just so amazed on how to composite Steinman songs.... you seem to make them yours

I agree with this part...I think you're concentrating on playing and it competes with singing. Please don't take it as being so very critical...after all, I can't even sing at all...it's just the way I hear it and please don't be offended...if I didn't think it's good, I wouldn't have even commented...

Can you record piano and voice separately and then mix them?

I agree with you Andrew...thanks for the comments, much appreciated...I haven't been able to download your version...i blame my connection cause it is usually the reason...any chance you could email it to me?

meatloaf-unofficial · 24 Aug 2008, 00:03

Mike I had the same problem...go to file and save the page or save the file...whatever your browser does...then you can download it to your music...

BOTH files...

meatloaf-unofficial · 24 Aug 2008, 00:42

If this helps.... try

Right Click On Link - Save Taget As.......

You've prob already tried this, sorry

AndrewG · 24 Aug 2008, 00:44

Okay, I don't understand why that was happening but I have now got some links which will force the songs to be downloaded via your browser and should work for everybody, so please try these instead.

I've improved on the vocal on surf's up, but just a little bit imo. I'm done with this song now. Lol.

Cheers.

not yet - I wasn't sure if it was still needed and I need some ideas - i've got no imagination...

**RadioMaster** · 26 Aug 2008, 15:59

I think a combination of various Meat Loaf album/single covers would look interesting

Kev · 04 Sep 2008, 16:19

Has this died on its arse then?!?

**allrevvedup** · 04 Sep 2008, 16:36

that your choice for a song?

No hasn't died as such but has just gone quiet...so what are we doing

**RadioMaster** · 04 Sep 2008, 16:52

I'll be at the 'studio' on 13th, recording HCW and probably one or two from WTTN, which ones I'll decide spontanously.

meatloaf-unofficial · 04 Sep 2008, 17:43

sounds good RJ

I've been working on "Alive" but at the min I'm not upto alot - not been feeling too good and also have ALOT of other things I need to catch up on.

I'll post though once I'm 100% fine with it

**RadioMaster** · 04 Sep 2008, 17:55

I dont think there's a backing track existing for Where Angles Sing?

**allrevvedup** · 04 Sep 2008, 18:45

if you can find that one, find 45 seconds of ecstacy as well...i know someone who promised to do it

AndrewG · 04 Sep 2008, 19:50

Recorded the Wasted Youth / Love, Death & an American Guitar speech. No effects as I'm not in a Jeff Bova mood at moment.

Think Heath Ledger's potrayal of The Joker had a slight influence here.

Wasted Youth

If this ends up on a cd, I suggest not putting Ross' version of Cry to Heaven straight after it
