Ok, I saw this thread, backstreet boys, WTF? I expected something really lame and/or shitty, but I found something quite the opposite. Piano sounds really nice, what did you use? Vox are very well performed, great intonation and vibrato, mabe just a little too much verb for my tastes. Cool cover!

i know what you mean, wtf the Backstreet Boys?
thanks for the compliment.
the piano is a Synthogy Ivory sampled Steinway; i think it sounds really realistic and so i use it often.
sometimes i go overboard on the reverb....
thanks for listening!

I've played this a few times since my last post and love it more every time (I'm a BSB fan though). Regardless, I like what you've done.

I envy your singing talent thumbsup

thank you so much for the compliments! they mean a lot to me!
the signal chain for the vocal was a Red Mic Type B into a Great River NV preamp.

i always thought if i did an acoustic version of this song that it would turn out well; it has interesting lyrics that you might not notice when listening to the original, and it really has a cool dynamic to it that i tried to convey here.

i appreciate the kind words!

sincerely,
