| Some Viva la vida |
I chose to do a different song, but stay with the same group. Coldplay. After I had put up "Violet hill", I got a large number of requests to try "Viva la vida". Too many requests to ignore really. So I set about recording that one. It's another one from their latest album with the same title.
some consider that it's not very professional to cover songs with backing tracks, but I always find a way of learning something in most things I do. One of the things I want to get really good at is production. It's ok to record all the right bits for your song, but if the mix isn't produced properly, then all that work means very little.
One of the aspects I've been concentrating on is vocal production, and I've been trying to match that of the original song. It's made a big difference to my ears, and it's teaching me how to produce my own voice in relation to the different types of music.
I've used a vocal boost on this one. Plus I'v added a measure of moderate plate reverb in the verses. Chorus and a heavier plate reverb in the chorus.
Here it is. Viva la vida.

Now for the statistics digest for my Youtube channel.
Subs have come and gone, but yesterday I awoke to the pleasant sight of 6 new subscribers. That puts the figure at 727.
The channel views are now up at 16,529.
My total video views have done it! They've broken the quarter of a million views. All of this within a year of posting my first video. At the last check, the number stood at 254,512.
Hopefully I can now go back and do that old Coldplay album track :)
