Hey folks!
I've been doing my own NIN covers for quite some time now and I think I'm at a point where I want to share some of them with you guys.
Just to be clear, I'm pretty new to creating music and music theory in general, so my stuff is far from perfect. I've been playing the piano for 4 years now and I've been covering NIN songs for roughly a year. Needless to say, as I'm completely on my own, I'm still trying to learn basic level stuff.
Anyways, I think it's just nice when people listen to it. As of now, I've been doing these covers just for myself. And hey, if you got any suggestions or maybe even like some of my versions of our favorite NIN songs, that would be even better.
All songs were created entirely in Cubase 7 Elements with various plug-ins and VSTs. They all kinda want to sound like the originals or their live counterparts, so please don't expect anything inventive. Most of the time I just want to come as close as possible to the NIN sound (exceptions prove the rule).
Oh, and as my vocals are a big "nope", all songs are instrumentals (or the vocals are played as an instrument, too).
La Mer (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/la-mer-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Inspired by live version from 2006 and live version from AATCHB.
The Fragile (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/the-fragile-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Inspired by live version from 2009.
Closer (Instrumental) (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/closer-instrumental-nine-inch-nails-cover)
This one's pretty cool. I put a lot of work into that, and it turned out pretty close to the original.
8 Bits of the End (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/8-bits-of-the-end-nine-inch-nails-cover)
The name says it: The Beginning of the End - 8 bit style.
13 Ghosts II (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/13-ghosts-ii-nine-inch-nails-cover)
That one pretty much sounds like the original, which is kinda cool I think.
12 Ghosts II (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/12-ghosts-ii-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Same here.
Help Me I Am In Hell (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/help-me-i-am-in-hell-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Inspired by live version from BYIT.
01 Ghosts I (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/01-ghosts-i-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Not perfect, but okay.
28 Ghosts IV (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/28-ghosts-iv-nine-inch-nails-cover)
This one's missing a few synths, but I like it nevertheless. Banjo is replaced by a piano.
Gone, Still (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/gone-still-nine-inch-nails)
This is the first cover I ever did, not much to add.
Piggy (Still Version) (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/piggy-still-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Vocals are played on piano and there are no drums. Not entirely happy with that.
Leaving Hope (Piano Cover) (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/leaving-hope-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Played live on MIDI stage piano and later added a few effects (mostly reverb).
The Frail (Piano Cover) (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/the-frail-nine-inch-nails-cover)
Played live on MIDI piano.
Just for the heck of it:
Here's a bit of Various Methods of Escape (https://soundcloud.com/nicosanft/various-methods-of-escape-nine-inch-nails-cover) - "Cortini style", as I like to call it.
I hope you enjoy them, thanks for listening! :)
