Really good one! I have been trying to get Purple Haze right for 6 months, particularly the tricky solo, I thought you got that down well.

Thanks Adrian,
Oldhead49 worked for months on this and he said it was a tough one. He makes it look easy, but it was anything but easy.

Take good care and all the best to you!

I do admire the depths you go to listening to the original, hearing all the nuances, and doing your best to replicate.

If it were me, I’d have sung the vocal as best as I could and then just leveled and applied the delay (I though reverb maybe as well) to my own taste.

You do an inspirational job with the level of detail you put into the production.

And should also note the superb guitar work of @oldhead49 who delivers great tone and play!

Not so sure about “hearing all the nuances”, as on this end - double hearing aids make that a challenge. To compensate I do some of the mix by meter levels, constant listening and bouncing a pre post version to select folks that give me feedback on the mix.

I had some reverb on the vox, but it started to sound tin can like to me. So I took it off. All of what you hear on Fx treatment is delay. There is a setting common on delay called feedback. If you run that up a bit, it adds a hollow, reverb type effect and I did use some of that on the delay circuit.

Ta,
LBro

@LBro @oldhead49
Once again the pair of you have produced a bit of a masterpiece! I can only imagine the time and effort that has gone into this piece.
Is it exactly like the original? Perhaps not. Does it need to be? No. If I wanted to listen to the original then I’d do just that. I’d much rather listen to you guys’ excellent playing/singing/production.
Well done.

Hi Gordon,
Yeah, a lot of hours went into this one. Above the hours were months of many issues prolonging the production of this one. We are glad you like this version of Purple Haze. To pull it off, OH49 spent tons of hours slowing down the original song, playing it slow and slowly increasing the original play along song up to full speed.

On drums I did these differently than other drum tracks I have made. I used tempo matching to place the variable length grid over the top of each drum hit location. That took me a ton of time, but produced “live” sounding drums. It would take someone like @Kasper to detect them perhaps, but they are there. Vocals were much the same, a lot of time went into them, trying to sing like Hendrix and in that I think I failed. He simply sings with a choppy short word style that I found very hard to do. I tended to hold out the words longer than he did.

Alas, it all worked out and came together!

All the best to you and thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Thank you all for that. That was really good!!

Hi,
Good to hear you enjoyed our offering of this great number by Jimi. If you like Hendrix, we have a couple more posted on my channel. But I think this is the best one to date.

Be well and take care,
