Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (cover)

This is the final recording of this project to learn Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters song with my friend Craig on bass and myself on Fender Stratocaster. Love how it turned out and was a fun learning experience.

Very nice! One of my all-time favourite tracks.

Out of curiosity, did you record together with the bassist, or get the bass track down and then record your guitar over the top?

Nothing short of amazing, great job!
Side note, better cover image would give you guys more justice :slight_smile:.

The video adds time that takes away from playing guitar which is my goal to get better at… and with limited time to play I gotta make prioritized choices! Thanks for the comments!

We record independent on Tascam devices. Basically I provide independent instrument tracks that can be imported into multitracks. I usually record guitar first and send to him and he records bass. Then he sends me independent bass WAV file, which i then bring all into Reaper for final mix. I then render final song and then process through an online mastering tool (Band Lab) to ensure it plays well in most devices. All the recording is driven by a drum backing track for timing.

Amazingly good.

What drum tracks do you use? Do they have a count in?

Thanks

It is a guitar pro track that when you export you can choose to have a count in. Once recorded i chop that count off in the final mix.

That sounded great! :blush:
