Margarex - KILLER VOCALS AND PERFORMANCE!!!!! - This came out sounding amazing. No further overdubs or recordings required. This track captures the vibe totally of the song.

Thank you very much for the drum track Guy!!! I will listen as soon as I can.

Hi @Flmusicgal, I received your daw, but it is out of sync, could you try to sync it? I don't know how to manage it.

In Daw, on the lower right hand side, click on studio settings drop down, and find my name, that will load my sync up. I have a negative # :-(

The silly noodlin is a hit! Appreciate you commn through with some great stuff. Got Daniel working on Bass and Bob working on drums, then will remix all. Just got to find someone to do Mick's vocals ! Thanks again Steve...till next time !

SixStringRick - Hi Rick ! One cheesy outro solo for your awaiting review in Studio...Hope it is kinda-sorta what u had in mind.....No worries...Thanks for the invite...!

Hey Frank...much thanks for adding your own thing to Angry...it Rocks. The only bad deal is I now need to find a Stones shirt and redo my tracks

Thanks for the invite, Rick. Nice work. Sounds tight. I'm really behind and not at my best but I think I can do this for you. Count me in.

Thats great to hear...drums are front and center in this tune so have some fun with it. No rush and thanks for accepting the invite.

Hi Stu:Thanks for the invitation. I'm invited with an acoustic guitar but BT doesn't have it. Which guitar do I play? The guitar that goes in from the beginning? Or the guitar that comes in from the middle? I prefer the guitar that comes in at the beginning.

There is only 1 electric guitar on the BT and I invited Mike Walker for that. I thought it woud be a nice addition to have an acoustic strumming chords along side it

@stubass: OK I'll try to add something acostic guitar after the electric guitar's added.

@stubass: yoshikoba Hey, thanks for the invite, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make this one (I'm pretty far behind on a lot of real-life stuff, getting in the way of this). Thanks for thinking of me though!

Hey Flmusicgal , Jamesarc no rush on this. But would you like to be a part of this collab. No pressure.

Guys, the bass is isolated if anyone wants to play-welcome, but my inquiries have not come to fruition, unfortunately. I play the rhythm guitars with Ample guitar vst plugin. I think it's good in the overall mix, but I'd replace them with real ones. We are close to the final result! Thank you! I appreciate it!

Hello Georgi here is a trumpet track. Thank you for the invite. Great sound gents!

Hi Georgi, two tracks for review, maybe you can use it? If not no problem. Great song btw

Hi, vocal track in my DAW. I left my voice and lowered the original. I hope you like it.

Thanks Jason...as always sounding great . Published and just got to get the lead guitar in there...may try it myself if no takers !

@Rick : glad you like it, it's another song that I've never heard, thank you for letting me know it

@hector : Rick and I are setting up these collab to celebrate the life of Jimmy Buffett. His last single before his passing, Bubbles Up, I'm planning to do soon.

Thanks much Rick...sounding excellent and glad you were able to jump in on this Buffet tune.

Ukemom, thanks for the keys, nice touch. Adding the uke was also a great idea for this beach tune.

carlosred hi, there are spots at 1'27'', 2'37" and last solo 3'29" where electric guitar is playing. This is what i'm inviting you for.


Jason...thanks for the drums...no redo as it sounds spot on through the tune. Will remix all after the bass joins.

Some more stuff, I don'tknow why getting parts to record is such a hit or miss thing, multiple set up and resets to get it to work. some trouble syncing up last part , should be 00.00.093 and mixed real low, If you know how to trim you can take off the little misfire at the beginning . Sorry I'm tooo tired to redo another track

Steve...what can I say but wow. Like you said, a hole bunch of guitar stuff happening in that song, and you manage to figure out what was going on and nailed it. Your the most versatile guitar players I know. Really appreciate you taking all the time and effort (and hassle) of getting the tracks in. Fantastic playing.

Hi, fouind a record method with less back0round noise, did a replacement for track 9, but couldn't add any other trax tonight, New trax will feature a green hat. of course the originals will be in draft so you can choose, will try to redo more tommorow. Probably the wah guit will be next

Steve….thanks for your persistence in the technical issues ! Appreciate you getting the tracks sounding even better. Will mix in the DAW when you have them in. Got DrummrFord willing to do the drums, and a little bass from Cyberbass and should have a great John Prine Tune.

Some rough trax, had a heck of a time gettin' them to record, back and forth fro DAW to studio and refresh over and over, couldn't get decent levels or quality sounds, levels no probs 'cause there's a lot of parts but they're mixed low. I'm gonna redo the parts on my DAW then I'll import 'em , I'll glue'em to the videos to make mixing easier fer ya ( if ya like 'em )

Hey Steve...first thing I notice is your beard is longer than last collab we did ! Your right about all going on with the guitars in this one and really appreciate all the time you put in to get these tracks done. You mention they are rouph, but I think the levels are fine and sounding pretty good. Will leave it up to you which ones you want to redo...no rush. Once I get drums and bass will pull out the backing track and do a much better job of mixing all your parts. Once I pull that BT your many guitar parts will sound much better as they wont be clashing with the BT. So dont try to play it like Prines band is doing, and they likely never played it twice the same way anyway.!

SteveD. Thanks for accepting the invite. A lot of moving parts with the slide/lead, but just have fun with it and do your own thing ! Its always good...

Tambien mis Talentosos Hermanos, Ustedes trajeron El Funk!! Very Solid Albee on the Percussions, and Very Tight and Crispy on the Kit Cudgedrums!!

Hello everyone, it seems sync problem is solved. This is just a simple song, but hard to play, hard to sing, then we realize how good those Bee Gees guys are. Thanks @Dennisski for your support and for the vocal.

Jaugb I added a vocal for your review. No problem if you dont want to use it. Thanks

Hello John, your track wasn't in Daw, it really was in in Draw, now I transferred it back to Studio and published, without changing anything. Is there anything I must do? Frankly speaking I'm really not familiar with the plataform when it comes to syncing problem.

Julio I might have messed it up I sent it into draft I know you can publish it again and I'll sync it in DAW but @admin after syncing when I play it in Studio mode the timing of my track goes out of sync . It plays fine in DAW after syncing .

You just forgot the minus sign (-). In daw saved you had -00.000.128 but in studio the numbers did not have a minus sign(-) 00.000.128 . I just added the minus sign in studio. please check now . I have sometimes forgot to add minus sign in studio as well .

Hey there @Hank87, my friend, very nice hearing from you and meeting here again, I remember our last collab was What a Wonderful World that unfortunately is lost in Bandhub. Your tracks are ok and published, thank you very much.

Hi Jaugb, If you have already asked someone to sing this song, here are my vocals. I hope they are OK.

Damn great vocals joeykaraoke - DIESEL88 works in those bvs nicely with you. I have to agree with Fuss_Mussington, This is one of your best.

Thanks so much Dennis and Fuss. Sometimes you get a good track when you least expect it.

Way cool Thank you. I added some wet reverb to the last track. Hope you like it

dennisski - Hi Dennis, I know you're busy at NAMM but just FYI, a guitar track is in for you now!

Hey @Jamesarc have a listen to this video before you record. Near the beginning he plays part of the bass part all alone. It's a good opportunity ity to hear it in isolation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03g18sx

Hi Guys this is sounding great! I'll try to get my part in this weekend.

@Clint_the_Cool_Guy here is another Ebow guitar track and rough mix for your consideration. I hope you dig.
This one is an octave higher than the first one. It's in the range of what we hear on the BT. It's actually two closely matched takes panned 60 percent L and R. All blended together, I think it brings a lot of the "loose but tight", slightly haphazard feel of the original recording. My idea is to have the low Ebow track a little less loud than the high one.

Robert Fripp is a mad genius - and he looks like this calm, nerdy little math teacher or something. I saw him with King Crimson a few years ago in LA. It was quite a show.

@Surferbeto: I saw him, he gave some spacy lecture on sound controll. Used a tape loop between two reel-to-reels to produce a delay effect. Then many many effects boxes and foot switches for his guitar .... Also Focused.

Hey DIESEL88 check this out. @Squadrock shared this link on his collab of this song from 3 years ago. Here is the song deconstructed and explained by the sound engineer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03g18sx

cbgb and marjolein Thank you both for pointing out the flaws in my mix. I admit I rushed my first published version. I really appreciate you both pointing out areas where the collab could be improved and I think the collab sounds a LOT better now, thanks to you two. Please do continue to contribute with your ears for a mix in any future collabs (or past) as sometimes mine get clumsy for many reasons. I am super grateful to you both. Thanks!!!

I feel really good about this one thanks to you. I had never heard it before. It has such a cool groove and vibe with all the musicians in their own zones but still completely in a pocket. This would have been really difficult to cover without your all of you being in the right place at the right time. I'm probably the weakest link here but I wouldn't hesitate for a second to play somewhere live with all of you.

Hi Dan.Here's what I came up with. DAW for you in cbgb Setting. Dan 10.941, Marj .099 (unchanged); cbgb .061, Gino .061, Marv .064. As I suspected, drums and Marv ended up changing the most. But trust your ear not mine. I could be wrong but I think this sounds better.

@Gino Caron: haha. No way. All I did was put my face 2" from the computer screen and line up our waveforms. Good thing I'm super nearsighted.

@Bob : well, you did a great job! and I don't always play on time lol most of the time I play without headphones with my monitors on. I need a longer cord for my headphones I feel stuck when I use them! and I don't trust bluetooth for recording.

@Gino Caron: I don't trust Bluetooth, either. Everything I have is plugged in, except I'm wireless to the modem.

Hi Dan. I think the sync might have drifted a little on this song. I was checking my notes and I see that I had you set at 10.939, and Gino at -.056. You're still in the right place but Gino's time is changed. And the lead sounds like it's pushing on my end. Either that, or the drums may need a new adjustment from -.073 to something else. I've been experiencing this a lot lately, so maybe it's just me being away for so long. I'm not sure it was Marjolein who was off sync. It seems to me that a big sync issue in one track is easy to isolate, but a really minor one makes them all sound off. Anyway, if you unlock, I can play with it in DAW. Up to you my friend.

cbgb Hi Bob. Collab is now unlocked. Go ahead with any changes you wish :) :) Please note, Gino's and Marv's original syncs that you had noted down are most likely not accurate anymore because I worked on their tracks offline (panning) and uploaded new versions of them and this, in itself, changes the sync timing, so I would recommend that you should forget about any saved DAW settings you may have and work with what is there now. Cheers.

marjolein , GxCaron , cbgb and marv9 thank you all for your excellent work, skill and time you put into this. It turned out great. Cheers!

@dan00075 I'm not sure the timing of my track is correct? I seem to be quite ahead or did I mess that up during recording?

@marjolein: well spotted. I think you are right. I have moved it about 0.1 seconds and I think it sounds better. What do you think?

Wow! Great job marv9 ! that just put a big smile on my face! Well done and thank you!!!

Thank you everyone for another Great collaboration... unless anyone has anything to add this collab is completed...

Sounds fantastic everyone, here is a drum track, I am trying to run a brushes sound on an electric drum kit, the sound is as close as I can get to a brushes sound, I hope you like it :-)
I might have made a little mistake or two but I love the tag. I can redo if you want. This is an awesome trippy collab. Vocals are amazing. Very nice Hank and Yoshi. Cool beans, fellas.
Hi, Yoshi Thank you for the great bass and vibraphone tracks...
I added the bass and vibraphone tracks..Other keyboards sounded muffled and inaudible..Sorry .
Hi Yoshi are you doing the Bass and keys?
Hi Frank, Yoshi is making one video and adding two of my voices to it...
