@FelKeys : For someone who is not into country tracks are super Felipe . Please continue on your route my friend :-)))
pcderic: well done, thx. Now that I know you're a KB whiz, how 'bout some help with, "Danger Ahead?"
As we say in Italy: "Azz!!!!" Spectacular work by everyone and the voices are brilliant!!!! Chapeau to all of you!!!
Locprog - Hi Sandro - Gonna try and get you something over the weekend...Thanks..
Locprog cbgb tonysurf70 - Phenomenal ! Fantastic work gentlemen ! Sandro - Thank you for the invite..I will give this one a try......Just need some time..I may actually send you an audition track first....To see if it is what you are after..
I redid my bass track. The previous one seemed a little dull to me. I think this one goes better. What do you think about it? (Small imperfections still exist and always will...)
Locprog I have uploaded a Rhodes track, see what you think, it will sound better once its not competing with Jan Hammer!
Fuck, my boy!!!! Already from the first seconds your track seemed formidable to me and that feeling increased from second to second. Really, really beautiful, perfectly placed in the context!!!!! (In my opinion you are super ready for Stratus... https://bandhug.com/watch/stra........tus-billy-cobham ;) ;) ;) ) Now we just have to wait what some of our guitarists will tell us.....
@CyberBass: my intro... ska-ish part is sloppy at one part. I'll have to record that guitar track again. There's a couple places where there's something going on but not my tracks. I don't want to point out other people's little flaws when I can't even play guitar haha I'll fix one of my guitar track, I think the other one is good.
@Gino Caron: I was thinking maybe the drum track was a bit loose, I just listened to it against the original and its ok there, it is a bit dry, some reverb on the kit would of helped, Love them vocals Fuss.
@Gino Caron: not sure I bet it just needs an all over sync. Let me have a go if that’s ok?
I think the vocals could be nudged just a tad to the left. Allow me to tweak shortly. This can shine it's tight tight.
@Fuss Mussington: GxCaron - Tracks adjusted a wee bit but now Fuss is in a neg, which might be fine as it is a small neg value
GxCaron - Gino have a listen to my mix in DAW. When you publish you may see sync issue in Fuss' track but wont know till we try
@Gino Caron: I've republished. I also lower a tiny bit all the levels except the drum, I thought the drum was a little bit too low
@CyberBass: anything else you think could be done? I think it sounds pretty good now
@Gino Caron: Bass was a little off during the slower intro part. I'm more of a power guy lol - it snapped in for that. I think it sounds pretty good overall. Fuss_Mussington blew out the vocals lol
@Grant : I nudged it a bit in the mix Grant - does it sound any better to you?
@Grant : All. That same part feels like it fits over the stems but it kinda feels like it umpah umpahs in the collab.. https://youtu.be/5mglZhegE08?s....i=0ORbIc6Yfe3bUQng&a
@Fuss Mussington: Yeah the guitars run the rhythm and the drums run a basic beat, them vocals are epic well done.
Vocal Submitted Damn Damn Damn this song was fun. This one isn't over yet: TY for the introduction to this song and your patience You are a swell guy Gino I can't wait to hear the original :) AWESOME TO ALL!!!
By "NOT OVER" I mean I plan on playing this in public and expect an enthusiastic response if there isn't something wrong with the audience . NOT that my track is not complete. It is indeed done.
Thanms, I'll check that later. I have to redo one of my track... the upstroke strumming part at the begining is not too good lol once I fix that it will all sound awesome
Sounds good man! thanks. I just published it. I'll redo my guitar intro today or tomorrow and try to find a singer... that's the hardest part lol
CyberBass That aint a drum track Rob, bloody nice bass track tho, btw your house is on fire lol
@Grant : Haha Ooops - Brain fart! Thank you Grant - great to collab with you again!
@Gino Caron: Yeah, that's why I screwed it up - should have played the bass track on bass... my bad.
Thank you, Ross! I have a couple of clams I need to fix up in that last track, try to get that done tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks Ross however, I kept trying to turn off the backing track and it would stay off.
@cDub: Great! I'm in here trying to fix those last track clams, Dennis says the upload thing will work now. I have a ton of synth stuff, but I wouldn't know where to start. Seems like ALF Nordlicht might be willing to throw in the synth parts. What say you, Alf?
cDub It seems I can no longer download a track after recording and upload, which is the only reliable way of getting a track saved. I managed to get somethings going, but needs some work on that last track, I didn't think it loaded but it did.
Well, unfortunately I can't publish the track unless I'm a paying customer. Sadly, this platform has not changed much and is still as clunky as ever and I wouldn't spend a nickel seeing as they have made minimal effort to make a simple user experience in several years. Sorry you wasted your time as they are good tracks.
@cDub: Really??? Yeah, I guess that figures. Along with not being able to audition the track before I save it, that's a deal breaker for those that had existing collabs. I agree, it's been over four years and it's not looking like folks are rushing to the door, nor can I invite them here because it is still not ready for prime time. I think Ross is paying, maybe Dennis can move ownership to him and he can at least get us the tracks and finish it offline. BTW, you are a rock star now, really enjoyed your work on the Carpenters tunes.
And my time wasn't wasted, I like the song and I want to keep my commitment. Thanks for having me.
@cDub: I know you can't publish from the main Studio page.. Neither can I. But I think we can still publish from the DAW page... First, save a mix, then "Apply" that mix (near page top), Scroll down and watch the spinning white circle until it stops after a couple of minutes. Then you can click on the "Publish" button (and wait again for the spimming circle to stop). If successful, you will then be redirected to the "Review" page which shows the newly published collab. If you got all that, give it a try. Or Maybe I can do it for you, if you want.
cDub I'm checking back to see if you want me to finish this? My hands have been a real problem, but I think I'm good to try. Arthritis sucks! CBD has been the most effective treatment.
Hello James! Sorry to hear about your arthritis. It's really messing with my wife these days. I haven't been around here much but a nice track from you might inspire me to drop in more often. Maybe get back into it.
@cDub: I'll give it a shot in the next few days. I can play for about 30-45 mins before I have to stop. Thanks for getting back, sorry i missed the reply.
@cDub: Hands are feeling ok, trying this week. I really loved the Carpenters tune. Maybe one day I can play on one of those tunes.
@Byrdlander : James, I'll watch for it. I'd like to start coming back here and getting back at it.
@cDub : Trying to put up a lead track, but I have no clue how to make it start in the right place, except sitting there the whole time waiting for it. Do you know how?
@cDub: I got it pretty close by changing the start and stop time. Probably could be tweaked some more.
cDub I put some tracks up some months ago, maybe you didn't see them, but after I did that session, my hand went into some kind of old guy OUCH mode...I think it's feeling better enough to try again, and I just need the solo and then somebody to sing. I'll redo the two tracks I submitted, but you get the idea. Peace
And in the Green, White and Gold corner, with no expense spared it's Bdajaysus !! CopyCat do your thing, must admit guys even with drugs this sounds awsome !!!
Wow John, a lot to unpack there. lol - aren’t drugs supposed to improve things? Haha welcome to the party!
Published! Sounds great guys. Thanks John for the great drums, solid as always. Sounds great guys. Let me know if you feel that mixing adjustments are needed. Right now, I'm hearing all parts pretty equally.
Bdajaysus did you want CopyCat for something specific? or is he your pusher. :-p
@pcderic: Hi Eric sounds good to me but I do know CopyCat just tweaks my drums to optimum position. He generally does this geek thing to get every track as tight as possible. Pleasure to join you guys rally great song.
@pcderic: Eric...that really l came together. Amazing how 6 guys miles away hit all those timing changes and sounded like they were in the same room. Nice job all.
@Rick : I was just thinking that. I guess that the fact we're all working against the BT (with that "BT Only" option) is like working the same drummer in the same room with but with less need for visual comm. since we're playing against the same static track (and I won't mention retakes...).
@Bdajaysus: Super sweet drumming, as always! I tweaked your track timing forward slightly. Sounded a tad behind before. Tighter now, I think. One more publish will apply the change, which is nearly unnoticeable. Thanks for another awesome track!
Phenomenal bass line, CyberBass - I tweaked track timing for tightness. Sounds amazing so far, guys! Looking forward to John's drums!
Oh, sweet! Exactly what I was hoping for, the walking bass. Many piano players would try to play the bass line but not as well as a bass player. I learned the left hand like Burton Cummings (simple bass to go with the right hand) and it works well with the bass. Great job man! Published in a hurry. The only mod I did from CC's mix was pan the up-strums from Rick to the right.
@pcderic: Thanks Eric- keep ‘em coming! lol I have like four remaining I think
@CopyCat : Yeah, can't wait for John's Bdajaysus drums to put the icing on the cake in that bottom right black square. No rush/pressure my friend. Just welcoming your part anytime!
Hi Eric...your timing changes with the BT fixed the issue...I should of spotted that ! I gave you two tracks...the first is an acoustic rhythm that should not be too far off from the BT version. The second is the little up strum on the 4rth beat of each measure. That is a part not made for an acoustic and hard to figure out if the guitar in the BT was perhaps tuned differently. To get the sound I EQ's all the lows and moved up the high, then added as much reverb as I could get out of BandHug. Got it to sound a little closer to the record. I saved a mix and had to pull the volume slider in the DAW to about 10 considering my EQ work greatly boosted the volume. Not a perfect track, but was an experiment for me to try. Use if it works, I wont be offended if the tracks are rejected. Again for me was just giving it a try. Keep making music ! Rick
SixStringRick Nice work! No rejection needed here :-). Your strumming sounds pretty much exactly as I heard the 2 tracks from the song. I published it but let me know if things don't feel properly balanced. I think we relatively lucky that with all the parts we have that each track's volume is pretty steady.
Now the only thing that sounds like is missing is CyberBass done by the guy with that name :-)
@pcderic: no pressure! Haha “I’ve got blisters on my fingers!!” I’ll get there guys
SixStringRick - Great guitar work man. Really just a light touch. Very well done - bravo
Couple of things that might stop bt from playing in recording area. 1 bt must be first track. 2. Track one should be a zero. I see the the bt starts at 0.840. Make it zero or try a work around, Once in recording window drag the slider so the start time says anything other that zero like 0.01. Then start the recording. Old bug. But changing the track to zero should fix the issue. Alternatively add the time to beginning of the track 1 - download edit offline adding 0.840 to the beggining, Re upload. Or set track to 00.00.000 and readjust all the other tracks.
Hi Eric I sent in a drum track feel free to use, delete at your discretion. The volume will need adjusting which is done in DAW setting and then you save mix. Welcome to Bandhug !!!
Thanks, that was quick! We're keeping this! I adjusted slightly the volume to keep hearing the backtrack, in case it helps the other musicians. Then, I'll mute it completely later. Thanks again.
@Eric : anyone adding other tracks usually tick BT only box when recording, that way you only hear the BT which is what we all try and sync to. Thanks for the add nice jam and if you had another drummer in mind please feel free to ditch mine.
If I can wear an ascot like my hero Fred, Captain of the Mystery Machine things will be different and better. I think DIESEL88 (my other hero) wears an ascot when he goes in public. I have nothing to base that belief on other than recurring nightmares . In a way this could be like therapy... I need to get Against Me! and patience a plenty LockProg out the gate today and then just to find the ascot. Maybe I'll ask DIESEL where he shops.
Which Fred is that? Someone here? If an ascot will make you play the part, go all in! Love theatrics. Just don't go Austin Powers on me. Or maybe that'll be your funny Collab. :-)
@pcderic: Fred from the most respectable crime thwarting organization ever known....Scooby-Doo
Hello Sandro, normally I'd say go ahead but the part has already been discussed with the person invited already. He just didn't click Accept yet. Thanks for asking though.
Hi Erik, I inserted a new track as a base, but without the vocals. It should replace your original one. it's all in my DAW with volumes already adjusted. Bye thank you!!!
Hi Maurizio, I've removed the original BT and kept yours which now becomes the new BT (w/o vocals). So instead of using your DAW settings directly (with both BTs), I adjusted the DAW levels to match yours. Republished! Thanks again for your really nice contributions.
Hi Erik, I put 2 vocal tracks. I hope you like them. In the DAW I adjusted the choir with respect to the singing.
Hello Maurizio, thanks very much. Sounds great! Love the gentle tone of your lead vocal (and the stereo effect in it) and the complementarity of your back-vocal. Fits really well with the song. Great job. Published in hurry! :-)
For this collab, I'd like to invite anyone who think they can nail it :-) - i.e. great guitar solo, slide guitar, singing on key with expressiveness, tight bass and drums.
@Maurizio: thanks for offering your help. We'll take it! I've put you down for lead and back. But let me know if you prefer to take on just the lead. Grazie!
@Maurizio: Oh, one more thing, I love how you took the video from The Wall and integrated to your vocal track. I'm thinking of removing the one I included (that now shows in duplication with yours). It was there just for the visual effect but now it's sort-of superfluous. What do you think?
I removed the extra video. Hope it's OK with you. I'll leave more screen space for the other players...
Very Solid Mix Fellas. Cudgedrums holding down the pocket, and Albee with the needed Bongo add.
Hi Dan, sent a track hope you guys like it! Everyone sounds amazing! Beautiful collab so far! :)
dan00075 Posted my track. Improvised the middle part. I think I sync best at -00:00.017. Let me know what you think. Cool song bro.
i freaking LOVE this song!! its been on my favorites list on spotify for years lol thanks for the invite!!
dan00075 Never heard of this song but within 15 secs I can tell it's a winner. Assuming I can figure out how to play it. I'm in. Thanks
Good to hear, bro. I think it's going to be a ton of fun. I will do the bass in the next couple of days.
ooooh man I love Blind Faith too Bob, but that Stevie Windwood man he's just a killer on vocals. We need our guitar man Keith on this!
Experimenting with a new recording setup thanks to a generous gift from my brother of his old Mackie 1608, iPod, and 7 drum mic set. Obviously I haven't figured out the Master Fader app. Manual is 359 pages long. Didn't realize my chanmels had been preset with reverb, plus, I'm going into a USB Alesis mixer, which also had EQ on it that I forgot to neutralize. Anyway. if I can get the reverb figured out, and EQ these individual mics, I think this is going to be a much better rig.
Admin help, please. Did the BT here get corrupted? Listen to the vocals when they come in. I don't believe it sounded like this when I recorded my drum track.
Not sure. You now have 3 BT files. Track 1 is the original when it was first imported from youtube. Track 2 is the one you say is corrupted and track three is a fresh import from you tube. Track 1 and three I needed to adjust the sync by almost a second 0.981. Track 2, was modified somehow. You can tell by clicking the three dots and download. The downloaded file begins with "fixed" which usually means one of the tools was run on it. Fix mono maybe? Can you tell me what tool you applied to it?
Can also tell that you used firefox to import - upload. by looking at the track info. Your track was recorded in firefox windows 7
Sorry I was focused on the BT - I was able to get the original track and upload it. Ok moved the bad track to drafts. Try now
@admin: So...nothing makes sense. I uploaded one track from YT. That track successfully uploaded and it was just one track. I recorded to it and EQd my drum track and published. This was yesterday. It sounded fine. This morning or this afternoon I listened to it and noticed my drum track sounded weird, muffled, so I went back to Studio and used the revert to original. There were still just two tracks, the BT and mine. I never touched the BT except to add a second, which I did before I recorded my drum track the very first time. So after reverting, I published again, then went into DAW to adjust levels. I published again and that's when I noticed the BT sounded different. So now I find three BTs. Ok. I trashed two, the fresh upload you put on and a duplicate with the added second. The BT still sounds weird, but not as weird as it did before with the piano part overwhelming everything else.
@Bob : Yes I put the other tracks there as a reference. You added a second? Ok that may be where the "fixed" came from. I was wondering what was changed. Could be a bug in that process. I haven't used that "add time to BT" in a long time.
@admin: I went to YT and listened to various versions of the original Studio recording and they're all a bit rough. It's like they are all just bad recordings of not great studio recordings to begin with. But if you listen to the vocal in the BT, it's like there's an echo effect on it. Almost as if two identical tracks are playing simultaneously but just very slightly out of sync. Anyway, time for me to crash. Tomorrow is another day.
i already like it without the backing track, soundin nice, I'm gonna see if we can get some keys on here bro
hey @Rick good too see you again bruddah! still figuring this out but i think i submitted a guitar track for your consideration
Wow! Great to see you again, Jon. Thank you for joining us. Love the guitar track.
hector Excellent bass track. If I can make seven-figure salaries as a vocalist and for my band, I'd invite you, Bob, and Frank to join me. :) Thanks again.
@hector : I noticed the Stevie Ray Vaughn shirt. Wanna do another Stevie collab. Looking into "Pride and Joy". Has a nice bit of country feel in Stevie's voice.
Bob, you never cease to amaze me. Beautiful drum track. Thank you so much! cbgb
I enjoy doing these songs with you. Did you hurt your shoulder or is it just the light and angle?
@Rick Rhino: I knew it. I could tell. I hurt my right shoulder too, doing chin ups.
@Bob : I'm quite built. I'm a powerlifter. I have a lot dense muscle on me.
So you're used to it. How long will it take to heal? I'm going on a month now. I thought the swelling would have gone down.
@Bob : trying to rebuild my torn tricep on that side. May take a while. You see that shoulder looks bigger as it is compensating for the torn tricep. Looks swollen but it's just muscle mass. :)
nice one! Great seeing all of you again :)

ciao puntostar si ricordo " i treni a vapore " di Fossati :)
bravissimi ragazzi ,tutti fantastici!
Despite the problems of "time" that I had to face, I am very happy with how this collab came out; I thank you all. Now I'm curious about the relationship between @Creek / Creek and Creek / Harry :)
