Elvis Presley - Can't help falling in love

I went back to my teacher for a couple of vocals lessons to help improve the first vocals recording for Pink Floyd - Time. We ended up exploring and working on my vocals range using "I can't help falling in love". Since I practiced this song for a longer time, I thought it would be a good idea to record it.

Guitar

Although the original song has a few guitar riffs, I chose not to record any just to keep things simple.

Vocals

Hitting the right note in the pre-chorus sections is tricky for me. I worked on keeping the notes as even as possible while aiming for a decent amount of sustain. This is my second recording of the vocals track. The first one was significantly worse.

Bass

Found online a simple bass line so I went with it. You can here a few string buzzes here and there. Learning to play bass is on my list...

Drums

For the first time I didn't have any matching drums samples for this song. It uses brushes with an acoustic drum set. Luckily I found the Abbey Road Vintage Drummer sample pack and I could record something convincing (to me) with not much effort. My first time with the sound of brushes and I really like this sample.

Piano

Just my usual The Maverick sound and arpegiating the chords.

Misc

The picture from the header was taken when I visited the historic RCA Studio B in Nashville where Elvis recorded most of his songs. Apparently this one wasn't recorded there though :-)
