I don't like it. Very horrible. But then I don't like to insult people intentionally, either.
Lowest of all fan covers IMO :P

Yes that very very frightening me part sounds weird to me in the intro compared to the one in the opera bit. But as far as I remember I didn`t shift pitch at all. I did chage speed for the low and high parts at the end of the hard rock section so the notes would be held longer, but I didn`t change their pitch
About the guitars, I used a Marshall amp, but I over-distorted it. I know most people don`t like it and preferr a copy of what Brian did, but this was, all in all, a version for me, not for queen fans :)

None of the notes, from Bb0 to Bb4 are speeded up. I can more or less easily sing the Bb0, but the Bb4 costed me so much and that`s why it sounds like a bat or something like that
You mean.. like a bat out of hell? =D
Yes I mean that :)
It's not that I would prefer a Brian sound for the guitars, but I'd prefer a less distored sound, thats all
see, i'm not very demanding ;)

I'm thinking of recording Radio Ga Ga, or TMLWKY in Spanish (the last one), for the fan covers section
As well, I'll have to re-evaluate my thoughts on this BohRap cover. I said it wasn't good, but then I didn't have a proper listen to it either in terms of audio equipment.
I'm listening to it on headphones now, and I guess it's unique and OK now that I think of it

Different because it's on headphones?? Sorry, that's the biggest excuse ever! lol
Dark may have a point. I like this version much more in a big stereo with huge speakers. With headphones it`s ok. With mini-speakers it`s just a bizarre noise
I don't know much of the musical/technical stuff so can't talk too analytically, so...
Forgetting the original version, this cover sounded like a completely different song, especially the intro part. (Was quite surprised to hear that part.) I liked how you arranged the harmony. And a great vocal range.
Was it really necessary to distort the guitar sound? (I too thought it was a synth. Maybe you could try using synth next time.) Also, the low range backing vocal needs more power. I found the "ballad" part "acoustic sounding" guitar (the very staccato sounding one?) quite interesting.
Overall, I think the song would have to have one "heavy" part to really work for me, at least. (Sounded kind of melancholy without the guitar, too.) Sounded original though, and a fascinating arrangement.

Sounds like you have defective speakers, Seb. It shouldn't sound that different on small speakers.

No, I really do know what these guys mean by this... some things honestly sound better on one output than another. Some concerts sound better on smaller speakers than bigger speakers, and vice versa... and some sound their best in headphones. Some speakers can give a different atmosphere than others.
What concerts?
Don't let them draw you Adam, they are talking bollocks and they know it.Forget speakers and headphones, you either like it or you don't.
As much as I am heavily conflicted about agreeing with Harvey after his recent comments, I have to agree. When it comes to speakers you either have crappy or defective speakers to be hearing such differences.
I have plenty different headphones and quite a few sets of speakers lying about, but they all present the same kind of sonic picture. Some with less bass, some with more, some with heightened ranges in between. The point is, unless you have a £1000 monitoring speaker system, I doubt you're hearing much difference between them all.
And if you are, seriously, look for a better setup. No matter what you pickup, there should be a big similarity, unless we're talking bad hi-fi. They like to change peaks in the range and it's very annoying if you can't change it via the amp controls.
Peace,
Adam.
