Well I've really gone and done it now!

I've wanted to do a clip of this song forever, since I think its
really one of the best.  But for obvious reasons, I've had some
difficulty with the vocals.  So I tried to take my time, and they're
still not perfect (I really could use a lesson or two), but here it is:

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

I'm actually quite scared of posting this (more than any other clip)
because in parts, the vocals are VERY naked, which I think makes the
song that much more powerful.

But I'm quite pleased with the result.  I have always sung along to
this song because its just got so much emotion, and I find myself
doing the same with this version too.

Technically, the basic track is Edi's backing, my Yamaha acoustic
guitar, and my Rickenbacker.  XT was used for all amp and delay tones,
and I used the DHP-33 for octave doubling.  I tracked into Logic using
my MOTU 828mkII, and mixed with very few effects.  Compression and cut
eq on the vocals.  The EQ was set to a wide Q, to remove frequencies
in the 1.3kHz range, which were fighting with the rest of the track.
Compression was about 4:1.  Falsetto vox (doubled, panned slightly
left/right) were the same, slightly heavier compression to even things
out, no eq.  A little reverb on mostly everything, but not too much.
Oh, and I made a pop filter (finally) so no more popped "p"s!

My Rickenbacker is 3/4 scale, so some of the high notes on the slide
solo are a little out of tune, since the frets are VERY narrow up there.

Anyway, I hope you like it.  I'm proud of it, and though its not
perfect, I really had a blast doing it.  I'd love to hear comments and
critiques, especially technical ones, since I'm always trying to
improve my mixing and recording.

Thanks!

Mike
