[@richardsisk1770]

Think about what made the original a hit before you go crazy layering endless tracks. 😂

HERE IS MY COVER FROM BOB MARLEY kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3asonRmmNBjqKc

[@KarenBasset]

Make it your own. When I make covers myself, I actually try to reverse engineer it, as a learning tool, to try and get the parts, the tones, the mix to be as close as possible. It's a great exercise. I have a bunch on my channel with different levels of production.

[@Producelikeapro]

@@andreirlmeier haha maybe. Has happened before

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

I think Fernando Perdomo is my new favorite person in music production. What a nice guy.

[@castawaymusic144]

What a great bit of music spoken history! So cool.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

"So much creativity with so much limitation." = Greatness.

[@Producelikeapro]

Absolutely marvellous

[@spitfiremusic3997]

Louise is amazing!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! She certainly is

[@RC32Smiths01]

Experts upon experts here man. This is why you are so awesome and informative!

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it

[@Scott__C]

I absolutely love the track and Fernando's committal to printing effects. I think more people need to have a vision and make those decisions. Louise is such a lovely person, I like that it's just two friends reminiscing and having a chat. Thanks, Warren.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Scott! Totally agree!

[@rocketsauce5067]

Man she seems like such a nice genuine person.You have good friends.

[@Producelikeapro]

Louise is amazing!

[@toddgreenwood9631]

BIG TAKE AWAY! Double the tambourine!?!?. That's awesome. Tams are such an overpowering instrument (sometimes) I would not have though "ok, let's double it" but doubling and then going L/R as a "tickle" might really smooth them out. I must remember this.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed, adds a huge amount of movement

[@LuciensMusic]

Fernando is great, I got him to play drums on a song for me🙂

[@originalvonster]

14:00 doubling tambourine 15:15 printing effects - computer lag

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous!

[@Joey-rp5vg]

Great video and a down to earth women Louise sounds. Keep up the good work. Thanks very much

[@Producelikeapro]

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, Louise and Fernando did an amazing job!!

[@legacyShredder1]

I got the video update in my email, but it didn't show up on the KZbin alerts. Now onto watching.

[@Producelikeapro]

Interesting! Did you 'ring the bell' on KZbin

[@legacyShredder1]

@@Producelikeapro Of course. What kind of basic dude do you take me for?

[@Producelikeapro]

@@legacyShredder1 haha had to check! You never know haha

[@marksilvino2083]

Great interview on an interesting topic. I have been putting together a concept of inviting bands in my area to record tributes of certain artists and produce an album of the best tracks; say an album tribute to CCR, or Fleetwood Mac, or various best songs of the 70's. Good for the original artist, good for them, good for me, good for the listeners, maybe even good for sync placements..! Love your channel Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Mark! I really appreciate it

[@toddgreenwood9631]

No DI on the guitars! This guy rocks! Love it. (I never do a DI track for guitars ... just laziness on my part)

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I try to both as much as possible.

[@poorhouz5051]

‘Yeah, Colin Hay. Colin Hay is a great … cook.’ AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.

[@Producelikeapro]

Colin is an amazing writer and singer

[@benperry490]

I wish you would have talked about how you release cover songs without getting copywrite hit? Ive heard you can do a rights share for certain artists if you want to cover them on youtube?

[@Producelikeapro]

On KZbin they will immediately split the income between you and the artist.

Thanks ever so much Audrey

Every song that Matt Berry writes for any of his telly shows sounds, to varying extents, like an out-of-tune version of this song.
