Georgi - Nice work ! Well done. This one is growing fast ! Great song choice !
Hi Georgi! Here comes the bass! thx1138 Frank you're a beast! Happy to jam with you guys again!
For a very short time I rehearsed with a real band from my city - "Phoenix" - that was in their Songlist. But I became a father, and I quit. Nice memories..
Hi Strumbo. Think this will work. Can try something else if you like. BT drums are very muted.
guizubao - Hello Guilherme, you're welcome to join if you're into it.
cbgb - Saw a drum track....No comment ? So I snatched it...Pubbed...Here it is ! Thanks Bro ! Well done ! Super quick too !
cbgb arejay222 rrbrass - Gentlemen. Hoping you can join...No hurries no worries...FYI - The BT has been adjusted in pitch for guitars in Standard Drop-D tuning....
marjolein camillesobud cbgb - Hi Team ! I think we have all tracks in order ? Or ? Any comments ? Ready to close ? Any tweaks ?
Just WOW! You ladies just about nailed the vocals here! This song is incredibly difficult to sing, yet you too managed to pull it off! An outstanding effort! Also, I love how Camille did my trick and stared creepily into the camera before hitting stop on her track!
hey @camillesobud I hope you don't mind but I tried to mix your tracks a little bit so our tracks would blend a little more in regards to volume etc. Hope you like it, if not no problem of course, Frank can just delete it! No problem. Just wanted to try it out, I am no expert mixer or anything haha
And Huntrix number 1 reporting finally for duty too !! Voice is almost totally back, still a bick sick but I'm back in the game...!! :D I did the best I could do, don't know if I can do much better than that even when my voice will finally be whole again. ;) I submitted a mix with the synchronized tracks, don't know about the volume though...?
I like the drum track, Tony. My vocals not spo much. I'll give it another go once all traces of the cold are gone.
Vocal engineeering done, 16/03/26. I doubled the tracks and offset the synch to simulate the echo effect on the album, then did a slight pan for fuller sound. The track should fade out -- as all tracks should on this one -- but that has to be done last, according to Admin. Good luck on this great song, band. It was always one of my favourites Winter recordings.
Vox track done. May redo after more tracks are in, but happy with this take for now.
Bill, Thanks much, another stellar bass track. Pulled the BT track out and pleased with the overall sound and everyones contribution. Joey nailed those vocals and harmonies to compliment everyone that joined the band on this one. Thanks...will remix in the next week and mark as Complete, so if there are any recomendations from any of the bandmates, let me know. ! Rick
Hi Rick , Here are some vocal tracks for you to check out , let me konw what you think and if there is anything else you might need , cheers joey .
Looking forward to doing this track..always a fave, thanks Rick for the invite.
cbgb - Hey Bob, I'm curious about the mixer you have behind you, next to your laptop. What brand/model is this? It seems to have a cool form factor.
did a couple run throughs of Peace Frog .when I have more time I will do it
Thanks Erik Thanks cbgb Thanks thx1138 yeah that was fun .Think of Me for Others.
Thanks all! That was a really fun song for a collab and really enjoyable to do it with you. Great job! Belan cbgb thx1138
Belan cbgb thx1138 - Let me know if we can mark this collab as Complete or if there's something that's left to do (mix adjustment or other). On my end, I'm OK to close this one.
Anthony and Bill what a great backing sound to play along to :-) check out the edited video on my YT page https://youtu.be/STAV53sLwlw Cheers Mike
Anthony and Bill thanks for your great contributions to this classic oldie. If you have any suggestions for the mix on this song please let me know otherwise i will mark as complete. I'm really happy the way this one came out and thanks again Cheers Mike :-)
Wonderful Mike - can't believe this is coming to fruition..cool sounds and performance.
Hi Mike, your Backing track has a stretch video format, so all the other tracks will follow that format when publishing. I've made a standard 16:9 backing traack, it's in the draft, awaiting that you agree to make the swap. Cheers!
Revup67 - I love this song and you guys sound great! Would love to participate. Hola Felipe FelKeys please let me know if you won't end-up working on it?
Sounding wonderful everyone!!! :) I replaced my vocal track with a new one.
I added guitar track.. Please tell me if there is anything to change.. Thanks for the invite..
@billbassdude Bill, thanks for the bass track..spot on timing wise and wonderfully smooth sound and performance. Dropped BT volume as requested and placed bass slightly off center @ 20% (for now). Hoping to get the drums done this week..way behind regrettably. Thanks.
3-20-26 - Drums completed..rough mix at this stage. Waiting on Mr @billbassdude and then this hot tomale will be finalized.
3-17-26 Thanks to @Camillesobud for adding her vocal track it's on key and sounds great. Just published. We're getting there. :)
3-13-26 Sitar track completed (first ever). Had to figure what scale this was performed in by Robbie van Leeuwen (original guitarist). Certainly not in a Chromatic scale though the minor scale was close. Turns out Indian instruments use a variety of scales (about 10) that we're likely not familiar with. This was track was done using the Kafi Scale in the root of A for anyone interested. Real Sitar samples were used for this track. Thanks to Frank for assisting with a chunk of the notes. Rev..
Hot Sand Published with Frank's 3 guitar parts. Next in line are drums, sitar and bass.
The Flip side of Venus by the Shocking Blue entitled "Hot Sand" is now loaded as a Backing track with Click intro.
wow benodrumo you're are crazy on that drum pad with your fingers . I don't know how you do it but you obviously have practiced a lot on it!
I recorded a bass track with pretty heavy distortion, but I think it will work in the mix.. it's tricky
Mrflat billbassdude -12-23-24 Drum track completed with graphics and Robert Gordon photos from personal collection. Thank you for the great contributions. To be added: Hand Claps and Vocals
This is all very preliminary. I wanted to experiment a bit to see if I could get close to the bass sound with a hand palm as I played. Had no idea out it would turn out. Worked it through S!, tried a few things, but kept it pretty clean and more in the mid range freq. Let me know what you think. It is such a fun song - so much of that era.
Revup67 billbassdude jaybern - Is this one you'd do? FYI, I've recorded the keys so that we only need 1 guitar part: Intro: focus on the Rhythm Guitar (chord chugs), Verses/Chorus: Rhythm Guitar, Bridge: play the Lead Guitar. Solo: do the Lead Guitar part. When the Lead Guitar does the solo/bridge, the keys cover the rhythm part.
Amazing rendition Heather, N3R0 and yoshikoba!
In case you didn't know, it's the BT that messes up the aspect ratio. What I usually do is edit it to change it to 16:9 and it fixes it. Of course, you can wait till the end to simply just remove it.
Hi Everyone ,I just came back to listen to this song that i remembered i was going through a tough time and didnt see it through . I guess the sheer nature of the song was a bit to much for me at the time , but i must say what a truly wonderful job Heather did on the vocals . Well done to Yoshi for his as usual excellent Keys, and should someone wish to ad some Bass i would be happy to put it up. Cheers Joey.
Damn good, Joe. Big pat on the pack, amigo,
Added my first track. sent you a PM before u publish
Terrific tracks, John.
So we have one guitarist lined up but the other dropped out. Anyone know someone who can do a reasonable Dickie Betts?
Sent in a track for your deliberation Greg let me know your thoughts, hi Michael long overdue to join you once again. I do hope you're keeping well.
