Experiment. If Queen record “Bohemian Rhapsody” nowadays

in #music5 years ago

Modern musical equipment gives more freedom to experiment for creating music. Even the most unfortunate song can be improved and turned into a hit. And what can we say about the legendary and eternal compositions?

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is not the most popular song for covers. There is nothing to add to it, change of stylistics is also not suitable, because the charm will be lost in any case. However, Sweetwater store staff decided to go in an unusual and rather simple way. They decided to re-record composition on modern equipment.

Cover idea was to replay the song note-to-note and imagine how track would sound if Queen used all the benefits of modern music technology when recording it: DAW, plug-ins and various equipment. Let's listen. By the way, I specifically rewound at 7:56, from that time composition begins.

When recording a cover, Sweetwater team used Telefunken microphones to record vocals. Drums were recorded on a DW installation. Guitarist Don Carr, to record a cover, armed himself with Red Special, so that all the parts of Brian May sounded authentic. Creators say that, for a number of reasons, their version cannot be called 100% accurate and precise, features of musicians' sound extraction played their part.
