#General Discussion - Cover Project
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
oh okay
Feel free to check the FAQ mate! There’s a link you can check the songs we covered in the past!
Rn I’m mixing the current cover which is Lazy Bones
how's the mix going?
Slowly getting shape haha
alright
General Discussion - Cover Project
This is cover project
Big if true

Tomorrow I will be putting up the vote for Tre, in the meantime go listen to the Lazy Bones cover
@fluid imp It sounds great!!

I just wish I'd had time to re-record the first verse 😔
Not at all! I really liked it!
Steve told me about the pitch correction but to be honest you were on pitch so didn’t see why to add it! I just added some chorus to give it a lofi tone along some distortion
Really appreciate to have had the chance once again on mixing for the cover project!
There were like two places where I was just a smidge off but it's not a huge deal or super noticeable anyway 😅 I'm just a perfectionist
i'm excited for revrad next!
Not even started on Tre and they're already moving on to the next one 
sorry lol but revrad is my 2nd fav album so i guess i'm inclined to be more hyped
I get excited for every one of them so far /shrug
Excited for Missing You! One of my favorites of the whole trilogy.
My dumb ass forgot to re-upload the stems folders when I had to archive my old google drive account so now I'm unzipping and putting together a big ol audio file puzzle to reassemble it
So if people notice the stems folder looking weird that's why
Stems should be all recovered and in there but if you go spelunking for a mix to practice on and something isn't there that seems like it should be, let me know
Also, I promised milkman a while ago that I would put together a folder where people could listen to past submissions that didn't win the votes. I'll start putting that together finally
Awesome
this man goes above and beyond
I go somewhere
@normal widget can’t see the link xD
I would like to mix a few old songs just for practice
Should be here in the FAQ
Are you on mobile?
I wonder if discord needs an update or something
Or just a restart
Either way the link is there, someone else had this issue on mobile before
I’m using IOS 16
Try on not-mobile and see if that works
Can't mix stuff on mobile anyway
I think
Let me know if the link doesn't work on desktop, but that's all I can recommend at this point
All good man! Needed the update
I redid my vox today and am much happier with these. I’ll get them sent over tomorrow.
Is this part of the page of the reddit going to be updated once the Missing You cover comes out? It seems it hasn't been updated since Let Yourself Go
I don't manage the subreddit at all but @long current does with that stuff and is usually pretty timely, but I try not to rush or micromanage
I reckon that hasn't been updated since pre-hiatus actually so that's probably it
Yeah I’ll get that updated and the website cover project credits updated this weekend. I’ve been away every weekend all summer so I haven’t had much time lately.
I see, no rush then
Double ping incoming
Missing You lineup:
Vocals: @timid patio
Guitar: @stable current
Bass: u/Dev0ut
Drums: @supple mica
Stems going to @wheat ivy for mixing, with a final mix expected by 9/24/22
awesome
This is a lineup where 3/4 are people who haven't appeared on a cover project song before, and then the guitar is someone who hasn't appeared on that instrument before
Beep has been a mixer for basically the entire run of the project though. Mad cover project street cred now doing vocals
Lol

any hints on the next song guys?
That’s decided by votes haha
oh yeah
But I’m sure it will be a bop
it hasnt come out right?
Nop not yet
kk
Will just received the tracks
cant wait to hear missing you
So in about 3 weeks we will get to listen it
okay
next one will likely be too dumb to die
which would be super fun 👌
Have we done a cover to Bouncing Off The Wall yet?
what album are we doing next?
Revolution Radio comes next once Missing You is done mixing
what i mean by that is what album is the song from
oh ok
awesome!!
i might participate this time
Can we do a cover of 2000 light years away?
Check out the #986418026758934568 channel where we’ve got links to the past covers, that was actually the very first song we covered. Banger
@high ridge make sure to read the FAQ in #986418026758934568 as the answer to your question lies within. I deleted your message as that channel is not for chatting only for the FAQ post
how's Missing You progressing? @wheat ivy
Good! I'm running further behind than I'd hoped, but good progress is being made. I'm at work rn but I should be able to get it done shortly. Sorry for the lack of updates everyone!
Agreed!
Yeah sorry guys AGAIN for the late replies AGAIN. The mix is indeed being worked on. I'm just having technical difficulties with one of the tracks, but rest assured that it sounds sick. Definitely the best I've ever mixed a live drumkit before.

I will say though, the drums sound amazing. The best I've mixed live drums so far. Here's the kit solo, NO samples are being used here.
that kick sounds so punchy wow
Great drummer! Who is that?
@supple mica !
Do yall still give out the cover project stems to anyone? would love to have it. thanks.
Yep, check the #986418026758934568 for the link
Thanks! Hope it fits good with the other tracks!
FINALLY got to work on it more tonight. Should be done tomorrow
👀
👀 👀
👀
@wheat ivy wassup
With the Missing You cover just gone live, we'll begin the Revolution Radio vote tomorrow
yoo missing you sounds so good @wheat ivy mix is absolutely killer sir
Thank you! Everyone's instruments naturally blended so well that it was hard to think of how I could improve it when I first started, but I think the final product sounds really good. I'm proud of it and proud of those who submitted parts for it. Really good stuff all around
Great job, everyone! Sounds awesome!
By tomorrow I meant Friday, by that I mean I straight up forgot yesterday. Vote will be coming at you guys jn a bit
too dumb to die gonna win
If that happens I might have to abandon my attempts to study for my midterms 
Poo
agree
oh man, I do love revrad, maybe I'll get over being sick and submit some vocals for once in my life
Damn I was gonna submit but my High E string on my E Guitar broke 🥲
I feel slightly uncomfortable playing with one string missing...
I wouldn't play with a string missing, I'd replace it or change all my strings altogether
that being said this song doesn't really need the high e right
so you technically could
would feel weird though
just finished recording some vocals
Not really outside of a few instances of hitting that open E chord in the verses
Play a low e and then pitch it up
Can anybody upload the full Bang Bang stems?
Unfortunately that’s all that remains from those olden days
Oh also I’m pretty sure the drums were midi
And therefore stemless
@dawn idol
Results copypaste
Revolution Radio vote results:
Vocals: @neon sundial
Guitar: @full wyvern
Bass: @cerulean igloo
Drums: @supple mica
Stems going to @median needle with a final mix expected by 11/29/22.
Ah, nice one. Buzzing.
swagger
that is indeed my name
Thought your name was Christopher Columbus
Buzzcocks
Father of all vote will go up tonight
poo alumb
Participation is not required
That's for a different thing
Is required by law to record every instrument and also to vote
Because we’re the best Discord server ever
Joking aside, can’t wait to listen the finished cover
Great job everyone!!
as long as graffitia wins
then we're all good :)
or take the money and crawl
petition to just do a popular vote over ranked for foam since it's a controversial album anyway 👀
Take the Money or Junkies would be boss.
If we can do a ranked vote for dos we can do a ranked vote for foam, it's been out for a couple years now
:(
ranked but vote 0 for everything but Graffitia
How do I participate in cover project
Which songs are you doing this Time
I need help understanding how you guys do this do you pick who is doing certain tasks with the covers and how do I vote
@rustic hawk
The FAQ in #986418026758934568 can probably answer most if not all of your questions
Do I submit on Reddit?
I will make a detailed post on Reddit explaining what you need to do once we’ve decided a song
I prefer to leave the instructions exclusive to those posts so that people have to read them and aren’t potentially misled or get confused by casual conversation about it here
But Reddit is one option for submitting yes, as well as discord
only just listening to the final revrad
what the fuck
this is insane
this might be my new favourite that I've been a part of
fuck yes people
we are so cool
I think I hit the tickly bit when I heard your pinch harmonic. Well played, mate.
When I said tonight I meant tomorrow morning
🤘
Re-ping incoming once again
Graffitia vote results and lineup:
Vocals: @neon sundial
Guitar: @normal widget
Bass: @celest osprey 🥔
Stems going to @timid patio for mixing and programming drums, with a final mix expected by 1/29/23.
For the vote that's guitar 1 and bass 2. Vocals had no vote.
Always nice to get in by default. It’s a shame, there’s so many good musicians in here based on previous songs.
I guess this is the way it goes - we're in the 3rd cycle working our way from the most popular songs to those ones nobody really enjoys.
Ofc it would take many cycles to get to those on Dookie or AI (if there are any...) but I think less iconic albums will have killed this project before that point.
The show must go on
Clearly you’re right. It’s just a shame that more people don’t take what is a great opportunity to fine-tune their playing / recording techniques, particularly with the effort it takes on the part of mods and mixers to put it together. Even the ‘worst’ albums have more than three bangers to get our teeth into. Either way, I’m sure it’ll end up great - I voted for your bass, it was ideal.
We always get something in and that's what makes this so cool, honestly. Each song we've had enough people step up to put a song together, and I try not to take it for granted. I appreciate everyone who contributes so much.
It is very cool, I wish I knew about it earlier. Been listening back to the old ones for the first time and there’s some great efforts in there.
Is next cycle starting right after the release of Graffitia?
I'll have announcements regarding what's next once the song is done
I think this cover was also just happening alongside a very busy time for a lot of people
i really wanted to record for this one but didn't really have a single free day over christmas to record lol
Maybe I’m being unfair. How dare people have lives ‘n’ stuff.
Make cover of why do you want him
Make cover of never gonna give you up
When are we covering random unreleased songs come on guys 😒
there is a FAQ pinned.
This should explain why we probably will cover it at some point, but probably not now or next week.
By the time we got to that one it would probably be like 5 years if ever so my hopes aren’t too high
13 years is my bet
Stay?
when are we doing alfred e normal
If you're genuinely asking, check out #986418026758934568
Any chance someone could please fix my name on the website?
That is the domain of @long current
I mean…I’ve been called worse.
Sorry, I’ll try and remember to fix it when I get home but if I forget just remind me in 5 hours
No stress, brother.
I see you got it. Thanks, man!
I love this whole cover thing
Same
same
not me I HATE IT 🤬
I'll be waiting for the ping for the next cover
Same. I know I always seem to have excuses, and it takes a lot for me to record (it’s a lot of work), but I really was hoping to do this one. However, there was no way it was going to happen over the holidays.
Graffitia is done, and more announcements on what's next will come in the next day or so.
another Network cover!
oop
john i saw that john
God dammit I meant to hit shift enter lol
RIP
I wasn't done typing
Ping 2 will come shortly
Should've pre-typed it
I mean like in a word document lol
<@&414231131882258452> In the coming weeks, we will be closing the books on the third iteration of our wonderful r/GreenDay Cover Project. With that, as with the previous two versions, we will be ceremoniously releasing our third album of Green Day covers, spanning the entire Green Day discography with one song from each studio release. This is your chance to come up with the title for that album! Linked below you will find a google form to nominate one potential album title. For reference, our first and second cover albums were titled God's Favorite Cover Project and Father of All Cover Projects, respectively.
Rules:
- Only one suggested title per user. If submissions contain multiple titles, only the first listed will be considered.
- If there are submissions nominating similar titles (i.e. one user submits greatest cover project of all time and another submits GOAT cover project), only one version of those similar titles will be considered.
- Submissions containing offensive/insensitive content or language such as slurs or hate speech will be deleted.
VOTE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRhqoB3f-Q2nU7n2Wn71x5XjLUlglzkwZpwzvO9uMDVMQuoA/viewform
After roughly 24 hours, your nominations will be compiled and we will have a vote to choose which one will be the official title of our unofficial album (along with other special announcements)
nice
Not doing a whole post/announcements ping because this is a discord exclusive thing and the bigger stuff will come tomorrow with full participation and inclusion
woop woop
Raise the roof
Done

what will be the album for the next cover project?
We've gotten through all of the green day studio albums so we don't have any more of those to do outside of potentially a fourth run at them some point indefinitely in the future. We are going to be closing this one out with a bonus round that I'll announce in the next day or so, so stay tuned for that. If you give yourself the cover project role in #rules-faq you'll get a ping when that's announced.
Sex Baby when
Deceased
:(
🕊️🕊️
maybe you guys could do some titles from other artists that would be fun
Cover project Michelangelo
I’ll be closing the nomination form and making some announcements this evening
When are we covering all the small things
maybe never as far as i know theyve only done green day covers
Could do that whenever if you record all the parts and also mix it
Yay!
Well, ummmm... this is the Green Day discord, sooooooo...
actually, we covered a The Network song...so...
Yeah that was the bonus track last time, and this time the bonus track will be one of the unreleased demo tracks from the nimrod anniversary edition. Making a post for that vote plus the album title vote right now
Specifically the ones that aren't demos of nimrod songs
That's not the full official announcement just casually saying that before I actually ping everyone and post to reddit and stuff
So here's our chance to cover anything from a shenanigans song, some dumb shit like tre polka, a previously unreleased green day song or a cover of a cover
place inside my head or desensitized has got my vote
I should relisten to tre polka and figure out if theres any percussion i could reasonably do 🤔
That would be fun
please can we all vote for tre polka please
I really should've collected usernames along with title nominations
Gonna have to hunt down whoever sent in the winner
It was me
We got a vote goin
Still sad we got a solo cover instead of a full band cover of alison
And that one wasn't accepting responses, I guess because of the time limit
Chain Saw is also a cover
I feel it works better
Just my own two cents
It feels more intimate
Yea
Which works as it's a song that is personal to costello and obviously to billie as well, imo
Gotta get that cover project role son
Pings galore
99% are forum threads instead of pins now
I legit hate pings tho
I don't like big @everybody pings all the time
I'll just pray Alison wins
You can still vote without the ping the thread is #1072680102804062220
I was just suggesting in case you did want to be notified
One is most likely?
Rank by preference. 1 is your first choice, 9 is your least preferred
2 is the song you’d prefer if your first choice didn’t win. And so on
Rock n roll
i'm surprised to see just one nimrod reference in the title vote - weren't the first two iterations named after a recent gd release?
<@&414231131882258452> which one of you sent in "Jesus Christ Supermarket"
That’s genius
That's the winner
Hell yess
Isn't that a working name for insomniac? Dope
Wasn’t that a discarded album title for insomniac
r/GreenDay Cover Project: Jesus Christ Supermarket is our album title
Awesome
🙋♂️
I wish I could do art, I have a vision of happy Jesus with a shopping cart of cereal boxes but they are Green Day album themed cereals.
I cant do art but i can make this 😄
Nice.
started making a cover for the album but gave up, anyones welcome to steal my idea if they wanna
kinda realized it only went with black eyeliner and not the whole album
oopsie poopsie
It looks like the start of a really interesting Egyptian carving.
hmm maybe
Single release of this servers version of Black Eyeliner?
Where do I find the other cover project albums?
There’s links to them in #986418026758934568
Bet thank you
It will either be today or tomorrow that the submission vote goes up
Sweet, can't wait
I listened to all 3 cover albums while I worked
Black Eyeliner results and lineup:
Vocals: @drifting hazel
Guitar: @full wyvern
Bass: @celest osprey
Drums: @supple mica
Stems going to @lament tree for mixing, with a final mix expected by 4/9/23.
Another thread focusing on the album art contest will go up tomorrow
Also when the black eyeliner cover is done and album art is finalized, we will be throwing another album release party, following cover project tradition at this point. As usual, details will come as it approaches
5 bajillion thanks to the whole cover project family
And sorry for the mass ping at 1 am eastern US time
@full wyvern yo congrats on getting the guitar part!
woo
what submission (numbers) won?
Funny enough, 1 2 and 3 for vocals, guitar and bass
ayyyyyy
Lol
Congrats on getting bass!
Congrats on guitar!
after this are y'all gonna go back to 39/smooth and do another song from there?
Usually we have a few months break
Yes but not immediately, once we have the album release we’re gonna take a hiatus until official stuff gets released regarding a new album etc.
Also we usually start with the new album iirc
However long the hiatus is is up to how long until the band puts out some new music
Big announcements coming tonight
Well, announcement
Highly predictable announcement given the date
So
I guess
Announcement coming tonight, you decide how big when you read it
There
Horay
Really big
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ah fuck, wasn't done with my album art yet 😔 been way too busy with work
So how do I participate
We are currently in hiatus, if you give yourself the cover project role in #rules-faq you will get pings with updates when things get moving again. If you want an overview of how the project works, check out the FAQ thread
🎸
oh shit
No announcements coming today but stay tuned, keep your @s on, if you don’t have cover project role already get that in #rules-faq
we are so back
We back
Not sure if you read the FAQ but everything is on your own time anyway, there will be more info in a couple days on more specific stuff not covered by the FAQ
oh fuck, we're back on!
I'm getting my guitar set up so i can be ready whenever there's a new cover
Can't believe how long it has been since the covers i was on (stuart and the ave and one of my lies)
Looking forward to coming back to this amazing project
The American Dream is Killing Me results and lineup:
Vocals: @drifting hazel
Guitar: @lament tree
Bass: @celest osprey
Drums: @supple mica
Stems going to @fluid imp for mixing, with a final mix expected by 12/1/23.
woooop
Yayyyy congrats guys!
the potato back at it again
Potato is part of a well balanced breakfast, or mix 😅
trueeee
Really hyped to mix this one!
This one’s gonna be good
Good lineup. End result will be mega.
Potato together strong 💪
Sus.
🤔
What song’s coming next?
Ooh, yay!
I've slacked through 2 whole projects since I found this crowd, time to contribute.
Time to play bass.
Gonna start the 1039 vote in the next couple hours or so
its cover times
I think I did it right?
Voting?
Columns are your ranking and rows are songs
If it let you submit you at least did something right
We have a thread for vote discussion by the way
I already have a cover art suggestion and I'm so excited I can barely keep it to myself. This is gonna be difficult.
Tell me, I really like art.
it'd be out of the running if i showed anyone
Outta the huh?
there will be a vote for cover art when all the cover songs are done. If I show it to anyone before that, it'll be disqualified
not that I believe I have any clout or anything, I just wanna follow the rules
It won't be disqualified
That won't be for a year or more
You can show it now if you want, I'd advise not sharing it around when that vote actually happens but that's far enough away
That’s not a rule that you’ll get disqualified it’s just preferred to keep it an anonymous vote
alright then. It's this without the water mark. title TBD ofc, 1972 is just a placeholder
T pose
yeee
it's hard to make a snoo shrug without overthinking it
but I get what you're saying. I agree, the arms need some work
If the self titled song from 39 smooth wins, who is recording the bong hit sound effect lol
I can record me taking a fat hit from my vape.
I thought of making bubbles with a straw in a water bottle but whatever works for you lol
Nah. You gotta do it genuinely or not at all.
I wanna play wine glasses but I'm waiting for a song that it would fit into
Letterbomb intro/Nobody Likes You (Homecoming)?
They already covered Letterbomb, but maybe they would fit in Homecoming somewhere. We'll see whenever we get to Homecoming
I hope they do.
🙋
If Green Day wins, bong rip submissions are absolutely gonna be part of the vote
green day by green day covered by the green day cover project
is this the one where the song is like between Eb and d tunings
or is it just the Eb tuning
We have a thread for questions about submissions, I'll answer there
would you guys consider doing backup vocals?
Backing vocals would be included with the submission for lead vocals, so if you do backing vocals, you must also do lead vocals. If you do lead vocals, you don't HAVE TO do backing vocals, but it is encouraged and makes the vocals more interesting.
Will part 3 of the cover project be posted to the Green Day FM YouTube channel?
409 In Your Coffeemaker results and lineup:
Vocals: @vast saddle (Submission 2)
Guitar: u/verygoodcoolguy (Submission 1)
Bass: @jaunty ferry (Submission 3)
Drums: @supple mica
Stems going to @median needle for mixing, with a final mix expected by 1/7/24.
Thank you so much to everyone who submitted! Once mixing is completed, we will move on to Kerplunk.
no finished mix until July 
A what
So far we’ve stuck to the studio albums and it’s given us a good system for keeping the whole “covers over the internet” process organized, songs like that would be fun but probably best suited for if people wanna collaborate on their own
Suggestion appreciated though
If you haven’t listened to what we’ve covered before you should
Links to all three are in #986418026758934568
Kerplunk vote will go up this afternoon (EST)
FYI I'm gonna do the thing I did last round where it's on discord for 48 hours but only 24 on reddit so I can isolate the reddit influence
With how much traffic the sub is getting
80 results and lineup:
Vocals: u/breedly (Submission 4)
Guitar: @normal widget (Submission 3)
Bass: @red ore (Submission 3)
Drums: @vivid pewter (Submission 1)
Stems going to @wheat ivy for mixing, with a final mix expected by 2/14/24.
Thank you so much to everyone who submitted! Once mixing is completed, we will be covering another song from Saviors.
Yayyy congrats guys!
Breedly submitted via reddit, I don't think he's in the server. Two songs in a row featuring reddit subs
Looking forward to this one, it's in my top 3 GD songs for sure
I apologize in advance. I didn’t not do a very good job on drums this time. I was a bit rushed.
Still got the votes though
I enjoyed your drums
❤️

You always nail it @vivid pewter
Thanks! There are parts that I skimped on due to time constraints.
I see! Shouldn't be a problem in the mixdown
They did seem a little thinner than usual
Good job all around for everyone though
Nice. Looking forward to this one.
No way! I’m here, thanks for the votes guys!!! Breedly
Well done everyone! Look forward to hearing it!
you did a great job btw
can't wait to get this mix done. everyone did an outstanding job
Thank you! I wanted to get involved for a while. Can't wait to hear the mix
Same! It's gonna be awesome
How did he know this
@normal widget maybe they're a time traveler
But tbh guys, I'm happy to live in the era of the best cover project ever
I just took a wild guess
Why are y’all struggling so much to play one instrument? I can play bass, drums and guitar easily
Dilemma lineup results:
Vocals: @upbeat wasp (Submission 2)
Guitar: @normal widget (Submission 2)
Bass: @celest osprey (Submission 1)
Drums: @magic orbit (Submission 2)
Stems going to @timid patio for mixing, with a final mix expected by 3/21/24.
FYI I'm working on a folder where you can go listen to past submissions that did not win the votes, with credits. Should have that up in the next day or so.
Wow that's really cool
I have an old stem from She, where I think the wrong bass submission was added, so it's (sounds like to me) MightyKartoffel playing
A stem, or a whole mix?
A stem
Vocals were all so good for Dilemma
seriously one of the most difficult votes there has ever been for vocals
Guitars were all class too.
didn't really expect to win this one. Bass 3 pretty much sounded like Mike to me
I knew my chances were low because there were so many great vocal submissions
Everyone gave it their all and each part was very close
NOOOO I DIDNT GET IN
Aye thanks! I worked hard on the tone!
I remember learning Green Day songs from your covers when I was a beginner
Cover Project NextGen
Haha
I wonder what the next song will be..
Something off of Dookie, the voters will decide which one
One of the following:
Having a Blast
Chump
Longview
Pulling Teeth
Basket Case
Sassafras Roots
When I Come Around
Coming Clean
Emenius Sleepus
In the End
FOD
Since Chump and Longview are combined, will it be grouped into one song?
No
Day 2 of forgetting to make the dookie vote
A little late now
Will he forget tomorrow too? Stay tuned
Better late than never
Dilemma mix got done like more than a week earlier than usual so I'm not in a hurry and don't wanna be dropping late night pings
My bad
Whoopsie daisy
do NOT vote when i come around
We have the #1217870464404160582 thread for talkin about the vote
hello there
What gear do you have currently
At all for playing electric guitar and possibly recording
I don’t know hardly anything at all about recording from a live amp, but what I do is go through a focusrite Scarlett interface into amplitube 5 as an amp sim
i was looking at those interfaces
I record stems in amplitube then export and put them in reaper
It’s been good enough to get me on several cover project tunes and I don’t think I’m the only done doing that method
thank u 😎🙌
Probably cheaper than trying to mic up a good amp and also less effort
@normal widget dude you need to try the Suhr SE100
Is amazing
Rn is my favorite amp sim
I've been doing amplitube for years but I'm interested in trying something else
Nice
Looks to be a plug in, what's it go with
Like what do I plug it into
so why don't you use amplitube in reaper
I dunno
or you do
Never thought of it
anyway the suhr plugin you'd load up in reaper
just like amplitube
if you were to do that
Pure skill ma boi I make it work
Let us know if anything, John the producer coming soon
You already know how to program drums, then record and mix, damn Im gonna lose my job
😅
I am so far from knowing how to mix
I make everything loud then throw a limiter on
the andrew scheps method
XD literally me in 2016
Same, except I export into Audacity
You can record stems in Amplitude? I’ve always recorded in reaper with amplitude as an effect
Yeah I basically render the stems out of amplitube and just use reaper for mixing them
I wonder if it would sound different if I did what you describe
Do you need the paid version of amplitube to use your method?
You only get 2 open tracks with the free version
Yeah I use the free version
Dang I thought you had the complete version, your guitars sound very nice
Nah and I record and export one track at a time lol
Guitar Rig is fine
I started with Guitar Rig a while back
100%.
...unless it's a bass tube amp sim apparently.
I'm still looking for anything that comes close to a Super Bassman/SVT-CL.
Hmmmmmm thats a tricky one
look at NAM
I have a bassman sim in my helix
yeah i think i might have an official ampeg svt plugin i got free at some point, never use it though not sure if it's any good
there are definitely options out there
I use the amplitube Ampeg SVT amp that is officially licensed
Oh hell yeah. This is the song I did with some friends for the talent show freshman year
I have a video if any of you want to see it
dude hell yeah- send it over
I'll send it in #musicians
sounds like a plan
@pearl relic check out the link to previous covers in the FAQ thread for examples, but it's all audio recordings
People record guitar tracks, bass tracks, drum tracks, vocal tracks, we vote on the best ones, we mix the song
what does faq stand for
Frequently asked questions
fat ass queef
lmao
rules-roles-fatassqueef
yes
It's an FAQ because it addresses questions that people frequently ask
Like "how does this work"
Just know that any time it mentions "record" that means recording audio, like how musicians record songs in a studio, except usually done at home in this case
okay i checked it but it didn’t say anything about the cover project thing
so you just record the audio
Everyone does things a little bit differently but it's all the same process so I'll say what I do as an example the times I've submitted guitar parts
I use an audio interface to run my guitar through an amp sim, some people do that or they use an actual amp with a (quality) microphone
And use that setup to record guitar tracks, like rhythm guitar (usually double tracked, left and right channel etc.), lead guitar tracks, all depending on what's in the song
Recorded with software like reaper or another DAW
To "submit" your recordings you basically mix the tracks into one audio file so people can listen to it all together since it's multitracked, and package that in a google drive fodler along with the raw stem files of the tracks to send to me
For more specifics on how recording instruments works and multitrack recordings and all that that would take some more in depth reading on your part if you're interested because it's kind of a lot to explain and a lot is up to preference and trial and error
But that's the overall process for guitar or bass (which is usually one track), with vocals of course there's no amp you just need a microphone and a room without too much reverb to record in, drums are a whole thing on their own though really
@pearl relic Answered your question hopefully
wait so you record it on your computer or something and send it?
To put it really really simply yeah
does that mean if i have the fan on in my room it’ll be able to get into the track
so i gotta turn it off
If you want to record guitar through a live amplifier with a microphone setup, you'll wanna look up how to do that properly
But yeah submissions can't have background noise
what if i don’t have a microphone whatsoever
I use an audio interface that I plug my guitar directly into, and then it's connected to my PC and i use a program called Amplitube as my amplifier and record off of that
i have a headset but the mic has been chewed on, licked, and ran over
Easier and cheaper than using a live amp and mic
No
With amplitube there's a free version, the interface costs money but that's a one-time purchase
what does the interface do
Functions a direct connection from my guitar to the computer
The details aren't super important but it makes it so the computer can use the signal from your guitar to run through an amp simulator
https://us.focusrite.com/products/scarlett-solo I use this one
Instead of plugging into an amp you plug into that, and it connects to your PC via USB
do you need something to plug your guitar into the interface
cause i think i have it already
A cable yes
This
the thing for the amp?
Instead of plugging the guitar into an amp, you plug it into the interface
The part where you connect the guitar works the same way
There is also a chance that your amplifier can directly connect to your computer via USB if it’s recent enough
i think i get it now
wait can i do it on laptop?
Any computer that is capable of running the software and stuff yeah
i have a computer but it hasn’t been turning on for a couple weeks and i’ve been too lazy to ask my dad to fix it
It's gotta be able to turn on to use yeah
i don’t think so i don’t know 🤷 maybe 🤔 maybe i should just go to the gym and get a workout and go for a walk and then get a coffee or a coffee and go back in the morning then maybe i’ll
This isn't the say random stuff channel, if you wanna talk cover project stuff it cna go here but that's it
I would be happy to do a 21st Century Breakdown song, its such an underrated album
We'll do one once we get through a song from each of the albums between Dookie and 21CB
Been listening to the cover project, not like I’ll make any submissions but I might as well see all of the updates and such
I’ll be down to doing votes and seeing which songs are coming next

all really good recordings of the instruments
#1225928030413656117
I thought that Vocal 6 would win, but hey, congrats on all the other vocals!
Insomniac
if we havent done brain stew i got the perfect guitar tone for that lol
Should be same for the whole album xD
Indeed
We go in order outside of special things like a new album
I hope we get a good Insomniac song.
they're all good
When’s the next song being voted on?
Insomniac vote will go up tonight
Fire 🔥🔥
yo i think we should bring back the bonus tracks like in part 1
like include any b sides from any compilation album such as jar
We always do a bonus track or two, we shall see once we are approaching the end of the studio albums
I wonder how long it’s gonna take to finish all the albums
Let’s see, we have 10 to go, conservative estimate is like a month and a half a song, so a little over a year
Am I counting wrong
86, Nimrod, Warning, AI, 21CB, Uno, Dos, Tre, Revrad, FOAM
Am I forgetting an album
We've already done two Saviors songs and 1039 through Dookie
Oh i was thinking of every Green Day song
Do we wrap around back to 1039 when finishing the cycle
Each time we’ve gotten through the albums we’ve taken a break for a while
But probably yeah
That’s a ways out though
2025 discussion topic lol
Oh hell yeah, 86!
OMG MY FAVORITE 😍
I'm kind of disappointed that there isn't much going on in the backing vocals
hey just a little suggestion but i feel like the voting time for the instruments should be longer. like 3-4 days maybe
as someone who is very busy i don’t really get much time to examine each submission so an extra day or 2 could really help
Haha
But if you do have a daw
I like to download the submissions and listen them there and do A/B
i'm not sure listening to the subs sped up is really gonna give you a great impression
Yea haha
It will sound like the live versions
Say, did we ever get to hear 86 live? I don't remember
If several people agree that they need more time to vote and that discourages them then it can be extended to 3 days, I wouldn't do 4. I understand people have busy lives, so do I, but IMO full 48 hours is already a lot for what amounts to usually 30-45 minutes of audio. When we already have to do things like extend submission deadlines sometimes, I want to keep the ball rolling as much as we can
I don't think voting time has been brought up much if at all, so if others wanna speak up on it and just haven't really raised the issue before, I'm all ears
Keep in mind that every day of having the vote up means another day of stickying the post on reddit and we'll be having other stuff that needs to be up there when the tour is going on and all that
And there's no point in extending if it means having it unstickied
Yeah the live on Prague LP they released with the 25th anniversary of Insomniac
Should dig out my copy and listen it again lol
86 lineup results:
Vocals: @drifting hazel
Guitar: @lament tree
Bass: @red ore
Drums: @supple mica
Stems going to @fluid imp for mixing, with a final mix expected by 6/5/24.
NOOOOO FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUUCK
If you don’t mind me asking, what placement did I get for all of the instruments? (Besides drums since I know I got 2nd on that)
There isn't really a 2nd or 3rd place with these since it's ranked choice
Dawg
Yeah that’s also a bit excessive of a reaction for this
you did great on drums though imo!
NOO DUDE IM TOO LATE TO VOTE
Are you serious dude
💀
Yeah tbh seeing that my submission didn’t make it ruins my day
I understand the disappointment, but to avoid this becoming a negative space or making winners feel guilty it's preferred that people don't use the chat to talk about how they're upset they didn't win. The vast majority of submitters don't win the vote on every single song, so we need people to take it in stride and be supportive.
People are welcome to share criticisms of the process or organization of the cover project they might have, and we have the feedback thread for talking about all the submissions whether they won or not, but let's not make this a place to talk about how we're upset we lost. This project wouldn't happen without the time and effort of people who record and submit even when they know they probably won't make it onto the final cover, so even if you didn't get chosen you're still a contributor and I hope people can be proud of that.
Nimrod vote going up shortly
If reddit will let me post it
john banned from reddit confirmed
This shit is being dumb I'm jsut gonna try again in a few hours
LAST RIDE IN SWEEP
Time to see if reddit doesn't hate me today. Couldn't do shit either try yesterday
There we go
Shit, if we do Last Ride In, I wanna do a trombone part
do we know what song is in the lead

Congrats to everyone!
A couple first timers on this one, guitar and bass
First time LuigiGuy submits, and proceeds to win it
Lucas finally getting in the lineup after a few tries
Good shit
And then we have trombone playing the violin part
This will be interesting
What the fuck happened to my bass and drum submissions?
I can answer that in DM
The return of milkman
Back from the dead
YOOO
Hope you're all ready to get milked
Hell yeah
I wish I’d known that the green day subreddit did these cover projects sooner, I only found out today and I would’ve loved to be part of that
Like I would’ve loved to submit something for hitchin a ride and that just ended
We'll do a song from the next album, Warning in a few weeks
Look at it this way: you're just in time to cover the all those other songs with us 🙂
excited for warning, think we've gotten all the boring songs out the way at this point
Accidentally left the submission vote thread stickied on the subreddit this whole time
Whoops
Warning song vote going up shortly
How do I get into this project? Like how do I get one of the parts
Have you read #986418026758934568 ?
I missed that my bad
Read that top to bottom, and then later today I'm gonna send out a ping with some mroe info about what we're doing next
Sounds good!
Church on Sunday results and lineup:
Vocals: u/Neutral_B09

Stems going to @wheat ivy for mixing with a final mix expected by 8/28/24
Kinda feels like a hollow victory winning by default on guitar but I'll take it haha
Is that also supposed to be final mix expected 8/28/24?
Yep thanks for catching that

That's the day I go to see the boys
I just saw this lmao - you must be pretty hyped!
I saw them at wembley and they were so fucking good
you're in for a great show!
I know I am lol. This'll be the 2nd time I saw them
Since AI20 is releasing soon, are we gonna cover a demo as a part of the main tracks or as bonus tracks
Too early to decide on what sort of bonus stuff we ought do besides album tracks as usual
The next cover will AI anyway right?
I would guess by the time we've done that AI20 would be out and everyone would've had a chance to listen
Damn the next cover is gonna be AI? Cover project participants getting replaced by AI😔
(/s)
Pretty sure we should be doing regular tracks before any bonus tracks but that’s just my opinion
Unless if there’s like a really popular one a lot of people want
Like JAR but that wouldn’t be for a specific album
I forget what it’s a b side on
It's actually a single I believe, was included in a movie
Then was on international superhits
That's what we've always done and I agree we should continue, main albums and then we try something else as a bonus
But yeah we're doing an American Idiot track next
We could throw it in as a special one after we've done an album track? Kinda like how we did a saviors one back when the album was released?
IMO a new studio album release warrants that, we did it with FOAM too, not so much for an anniversary edition. We'll get through the studio albums and then do one or two bonuses after that, whether it's some demo track or just a non-album track. There's also dookie 30 stuff to consider so overall that's just something I wanna put off to not lose focus
How long is it gonna take to get through all the albums
I remember asking this question before and u answered but I forgot
On average, one of our albums (full run-through of one track from each studio album) takes about a year and a half, give or take, from what I've seen. When I joined in January of 2023, they were just about finished with Graffitia, which was the second to last song in the previous covers album. Then a bit of a hiatus, a couple of Saviors covers, and a run-through of a song from each album up to Warning, and here we are. If I'm correct, song votes are usually up for 48 hours, submissions are usually open for 2 weeks (sometimes with an extension), submission votes are usually up 48 hours, and mixing takes about 2-3 weeks, so you're looking at a month to a month and a half from start to finish on each song.
Yeah that’s pretty much how I’ve put it before
It’ll be 7 more months at a minimum
At this rate, it'll take is about 25 years to complete their whole discography, even more if we include B-sides and demos
That's also if we were to take no breaks between albums
If we could do this a bunch more times through that would be awesome, as long as there’s interest and mixers it’ll keep going with some breaks. I never expected to cover every single Green day song and still don’t, but we’ll keep having fun as long as we can
We’re only about halfway through this round anyhow
Can we expect a mix today? 👀
That is the ideal outcome of the day
Rip ideal mix date expectations
Do you guys wanna cover an American Idiot song
Or should we just skip it
If you wanna skip American Idiot, say nothing
Damn okay
Not really tbh
I hate that album
American Idiot fucking sucks
Worst album since Dookie
Next song we should cover is Green Day's best song The Simpsons Theme. It has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard in a rock tune
Green day’s best song the Johnny Test theme*
It would be funny to do a "If Green Day Wrote The Johnny Test Theme"
I’d rather hear a “If the Johnny test theme wasn’t an American idiot ripoff”
Wait wtf it sounds so much like american idiot lol
yknow what, sure, whatsername is mostly in my register
Happy to join the community!
I am a professional musician, artist, music producer, and mixing engineer.
I really enjoyed listening to your covers and would love to contribute.
I can provide guitars, vocals, bass, and mixing for the projects.
Let me know how to go about this.
@tardy spire Read the Reddit post in the whatsername channel
THANKS!
When does the mixer rotation change?
Every time a cover is done, a mixer is chosen on the rotation
If you're interested on mixing, ask the moderators like @normal widget or Addison or Jason
Addison or Jason will just send to me
Mixer rotation isn’t currently changing, we’d make a change to it basically if one of the current ones dropped out. After that we’d go through an audition process. Basically the mixer rotation is fixed right now and it could possibly open up once we finish this round of the studio albums, but I can’t say for certain and that’s to be determined later.
I appreciate your interest and hope you’re up to submitting for a vocal or instrumental part on one of the covers, that’s the best way to get involved right now. Check out the Whatsername thread for more info on that, but if you haven’t yet please first read the welcome and FAQ post in #975443812790992936 that I can’t link directly for some reason
🫡
FYI in the future if you're casting a vote that is just ranking every submission in order by their spot on the form, like ranking vocals 1st through 4th being A B C D in order, guitar A B C D E F G H I, bass A B C D in this case, and that's your genuine vote, let me know when you cast it. Otherwise I'm gonna assume it's some troll vote and deleting it.
I had one of those with this vote
To clarify I mean specifically if every category is like that, just ranking all of them in order left to right top to bottom on the form basically
If one instrument is ranked like that I assume it's genuine
Anyway results in a few mins
would be one hell of a coincidence if someones genuine ranking for every instrument was that order lmao
Ranking 9 guitar submissions in order is also one hell of a coincidence 👀
definitely lmao
I’m scared I can’t look 
Closing my eyes
Can we also create the feedback thread after
I won't forget this time
Whatsername results and lineup:
Vocals: @lament tree (Submission A)
Guitar: @full wyvern (Submission A)
Bass: @scenic aurora (Submission A)
Drums: @supple mica (Submission B)
Stems going to @timid patio for mxiing with a final mix expected by 10/10/24.
Almost a submission A sweep damn fabrizio
@full wyvern your submission sounded really good that was the main one I was worried about and I was right😭 gg
What did u use to record it
oh shit
Placement is totally random by the way, always is. I put the names of the submitters into https://www.random.org/lists/ and run it three times and use that order
This page allows you to randomize lists of strings using true randomness, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs.
nah seriously every single sub was so good though
it was mostly my edwards les paul into a blackheart valve amp
Feedback thread going up shortly once I send stems over
and the lead parts are a telecaster
real amp into v30 and g12-t75 irs in parallel
Sounded awesome
technically four IRs, two mics for each cab
sm57 and md421 as is tradition
its how i would record it in a studio but just in a daw with IRs instead
and then i blended in the raw amp DI signal like they did on the record to get that super in your face raw sound
Also @scenic aurora has submitted bass like fifteen million times before finally winning this song, congrats. People like you who submit parts consistently and always keep trying are what keeps this project alive
oh shit my first time getting a vocal sub to win lol
tbf there were a LOT of good subs this time around
woo callie vox!!
Speaking of
#1288594176954466375
hey @timid patio for mixing guitar, i did like three tracks of that little lead part after the initial verses but please feel free to only use one or whatever you want
Dude Istg we need more drummers asap
Im also extremely concerned as to why I cant keep get the part on any instrument
There are people who have submitted so many times and still haven’t gotten one
It’s not just u
Yeah like I said, kashmir42 has been sending in parts for quite a while now. Didn't win a vote until now.
Finally!!
I agree a little bit too much
Drummers gotta step up if we want more options
I would I just don’t know how to record them really
I would if I had a drum set
Although, I'd probably not win just based on the fact that the drummers in here are fucking beasts
I'd record drums if I had a kit, could record it, and could play it
This was my first time submitting guitar. I strangely won my first vocal submission. It's a hit or miss. Just keep submitting and you'll get there eventually.
WAIT 21CB IS NEXT LETS GOO! BEST GREEN DAY ALBUM (in my opinion)
The project goes album by album?
Yep
So we’ll do 21CB next, each trilogy album, revrad, FOAM, and a bonus or two after that
No saviors?
Yep
And dilemma was from the whole usual album vote process and everything just out of order
Did the same thing when FOAM came out
Minus the lead single but those were pretty different circumstances then where TADIKM dropped lol
Do any of you have the intro track that Green Day uses before entering the stage?
So
I’m gonna do something I usually don’t, because the Whatsername mix is done but I’m flying home from San Diego today and can’t do anything with a pc until tomorrow probably
I’m gonna drop the Whatsername final mix mp3 in here without doing a ping and then do the whole announcement and everything tomorrow along with the 21CB vote so we can keep this thing moving
That was mighty fast
Without my usual file naming convention because it’s the one beep sent me lol
There ya go, anyone cool enough to look in this channel before tomorrow gets to listen
It will get its own discussion thread tomorrow too as usual
final final final
I named it that as a joke
that's a classic right there
this is fucking banging
Agree
FYI I'm moving some stems to the public folder and will send an update on that later
Do we know what song won
We will within the hour
Once I get back to my computer after forgetting to close the vote
Traveling today got me fucked up
weirdly i don't remember even getting notified about 21cb vote
might just be me being busy
It was included in the ping with the whatsername cover release
LNOE submission vote will go up when I’m done with work today. I will ping everyone when it’s up so no need to ask me when it’ll be since I know someone will 👀 I won’t forget so just hang until you get a ping about it
Also we’ll be voting on every instrument, some more stuff came in yesterday

Are there multiple piano submissions
Yes
Scary
When is LNOE vote going up
Thats a lot of vocals!
Imagine one million vocals
How about infinite vocal submissions
Dominated Love Slave
Tre Polka
Ok why can I see this😭
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
What if they did everyone's vocals at the same time in harmony 😭🙏 (I didn't do vocals but this is a cool idea)
It'd just sound like 8 people singing
Yes
It's like the 12 days of Christmas with these submission numbers
Gang vocals
Yo lemme ask my local gang if they wanna help-
At the end of cover project we should do a celebrity imagine video where everyone records themself singing a line or two on their phone then it gets stitched together
It cant be a green day song it has to be imagine
joseph alert
The end of cover project
Does he know?
And they say im a dreamer
He doth not know
At the rate we are doing covers, for just the studio albums alone, it would take about 25 years to finish. Even more for non-studio album songs. And this number increases the more songs and albums Green Day puts out.
Cover project ends either when people stop participating or I don't feel like doing it anymore. Or if I quit and someone else takes over and then one of those happens to them
When this round is done we'll take a break for a while and then probably start it over again from the top whenever feels like a good time
But that's over half a year away at least still
cover project ends when we do the john lennon imagine cover
you guys dont see the vision
the joke i made while half awake is being taken too seriously :(
I second this motion
FYI we had one person win two parts, so I have to talk to them before I can announce anything
The suspense is real
Last Night on Earth results and lineup:
