Wow Beautiful!! This is perfect!!! I'm looking forward to it being synchronized.

tmanni just a beautiful track man Love it !! I see your sync time @00:00.059 if you want to set that time and have a listen please feel free

@Bdajaysus: Thanks!! Much improved.

It's a very beautiful piano. Can I tell you what I noticed? I think the quiet parts such as the introduction can be played with just the right hand. I can't hear the left hand in the original piano. I hope this helps you.

tmanni not something I would call sloppy by any means perfect tone and definitely a great addition, I do know CC likes to play with his collabs so I wouldn't worry about any sync issues CopyCat has that part down to a "T"

@Bdajaysus: tmanni - Bdajaysus is correct. I always realign tracks, regardless of how they arrive. I would love to hear YOUR personal favorite take. If this current take in Studio is not your personal favorite, please replace it with your personal favorite take, REGARDLESS of how badly out of sync it is. I will adjust sync to satisfy all of us. I will await your response and change of track, if that is what you would like to do. Again, thank you for joining our collab here!

Hey CC. I’m hearing you. Let’s see what I can accomplish this weekend which begins now. Thanks for your confidence as always.

@tmanni : looking forward to hearing you :-)

@Bdajaysus: Thanks!!

@tmanni : If you can't tell which is your personal favorite take because of the sync issue, add all of your takes to Studio, and I will align each one of them so you can then choose your favorite. Sound good?

tmanni thank you kindly sir really pleased with the performances here One of my favorites on BandHug, please feel free to invite me to join any of your collabs Whatever music you prefer I am more than happy to help out if I can

The mix sounds good to me..no complaints..great work by all..top collab!

My pleasure - Nice work on BVs, yoshikoba !!

@CopyCat : I know you're into symmetry so you can realign the tiles if you prefer CC

@Bdajaysus: OK

@Bdajaysus: Done and published - Cool?

Yoshi thank you my friend fantastic vocals , CopyCat is doing a mix and we can get one completed

Thanks Yoshi for covering those BVs..very nicely done!

Excellent Heather!! Thank you!

@Georgi : You are welcome!

Mrflat that is a sweet solo with a Heavy Metal influence nice blend

FAST AND FURIOUS... I'm a fan...

I love the sound, if you want to cover the whole song :)

okay now...that's enough from you!

I will do the solo

Man that's sensational! Love the sound and production..home run Shawn. I can work on the DAW mix and tighten up a bit. Redoing the Video for the drum part too.. Not sure who to select for the Piano and Keyboard. I might be able to do the Celeste with my limited skill set.

Bravo!! Shawn !! Great voice!!

Just beautiful ..great performance and sound!

@Revup67: Thank you ！

I'm going to try using a whole different computer.

@Michael Dixon: keep me updated. I'm happy to help any way I can. I totally get the frustration. Since I started using my local DAW it's much easier and I can do a lot more. I download the BT as a WAV, load into DAW then sync my MP4 video from bandhug with any edits, compression etc then re_up. PS in Bandhug in DAW zoom in a lot then try and sync. You can tweak mu xh better but turn off Auto checkbox

Michael, I have found by zooming in to the extreme really helps in shifting to sync.. Even if it's -.00.00.010 that can make a big difference. Also if you have a local DAW, download the BT as a WAV, then sync offline, I've had great success with this as well., then re-up your track.

@Revup67: Zoomed in all the way, couldn't get it. I restarted everything and even switched to Foxfire browser. Recorded repeatedly. I've asked Copy Cat to look at it.

@Michael Dixon: Why on Earth did you set your track timing number at 3 seconds behind the BT?? Strange. Anyway, .080 sounds about right.

@CopyCat : It’s just coming out that way. Thanks!

oh man..that's great - another fantastic performance by AreJay!

@Revup67: Thank you I hoped you would like it. I could separate BV's If you would like. I forgot.

@arejay222: if it's a hassle not too worry, if not please do as it will allow more of a mixing option in the end..many thanks..Michael Dixon agreed to handle the keyboards.

@Revup67: I will send but you' have to mute vocals on video. Will send manana.

I was wondering where the rest of it went

@Stephen Sable: Mrflat used a vocal track with a cut off "OWWW". It's still in his final mix, but this addition covers it up with the preferred stretched out "OWWW". Ideally, it would sound best with the cut off one removed completely, so only the stretched one could be heard, because the cut off one is also too loud in the mix. The last vocal track I submitted had only the stretched "OWWW" mixed at a lower volume, more the way the original song sounds. Anyway, it sounds OK now. Just a bit loud, because the cut off one is still mixed in there.

Mrflat I know you had to eq drums to hear the hh, if you want I can send in a new track , I would prefer a bit more body in the snare but it's not a dealbreaker, other than that sounds ACE !!!

@Bdajaysus: I think it's sounds ok, don't you thinK?

@Mrflat: Yep sounds ok Dom

Thanks for another terrific track you really set the bar so high Stephen and the "owwww" that cost us a lot of money we had to find the right person to squeeze the right part at the right time , I think CopyCat deliberately prolonged that part of the song ;-)

@Bdajaysus: Haha, that owwww came from Robin, so I can't take credit for it. :-)

LOL, Well who ever did it, bravo. The other tracks are superior too of course.

This is a phenomenal mix!! I really enjoyed singing this one, and I'm glad you all took part in it as well. Thank you, Mrflat , 1983Electric , and Bdajaysus - Always a pleasure :-)

@CopyCat : Mixing is easy when everybody provides great sounding tracks...thanks to all!

@Mrflat: No doubt about that!

Except when the drummer misses a crash cymbal

@Mrflat: Haha Easily added in post, if missed in recording. You know that.

@CopyCat : still...I had to take 30 seconds to fix it

@Mrflat: Oh, poor you. 30 seconds, I'm so sorry it takes so much of your precious time ;-)

@CopyCat : next time you do it, Mr S1 expert

@Mrflat: Naturally :)

@Mrflat: You know, you created a monster, sending me that S1. Now I'm hooked

@Mrflat: oops

@Mrflat: Editing skills are exceptional very very impressive I had a good listen and undetectable You also cleaned up that earth buzz at the interval

OK what is S1??

@Stephen Sable: I'm guessing it's a condenser microphone........

@Stephen Sable: Studio One is a mixing DAW software

@Mrflat: Dom can I ask do you quantize when you're mixing ?

@Bdajaysus: sometimes I do

Stephen bass is flawless, Very satisfying to listen to this guys

Great Job...couldn't ask for a better track..perfect!

@Mrflat: I always hunt around through magazine publications, youtubers that are supposedly "pro" and in the end I always discover it doesn't match what I'm hearing. I try to work through it at 80% with "Go PlayAlong" software and try to "feel" the frequencies and bass rhythms. They are very subtle sometimes as in this song so sometimes have to best guess at what I think I am hearing. Note rhythms on bass are what I think gets overlooked by most players and it's tough sometimes with kick drums in the same space

@Stephen Sable: I can identify with that 100% and that can be the most frustrating part of learning a track

Great vocals and bv's CC sounds awsome in the mix, Mrflat sent in a soundcheck let me know any changes needed

@Bdajaysus: I cant hear the kick

Yoshi - thanks for all your efforts...these sound wonderful. Nice rich sound. I also enjoyed the two opposing (different guitars). The bass has excellent tones and noted the Hoffner wasn't used. I will try and get with PlanetFlute and redo the Flute section to the correct tuning also.

@Revup67: Thank you very much!! By the way, I tried to set the BT to the standard pitch, but it still doesn't feel right. (Maybe the frequency is changing during the song...) In any case, since the guitar and bass are tuned to A=440Hz, it will be OK if the flute is also tuned to A=440Hz.

@yoshikoba: OK that's great. She knows how to tune her flute but doesn't understand pitch and frequency. I'll have her tune to A-440..thanks!

I have corrected the BT. I apologize if your wife's flute was tuned to the pitch of my incorrect BT.

@yoshikoba: thanks for the BT updates. I will share your words with PlanetFlute

Hi Filippe Thank you for youe kind comments , If you want to participate , you would be very welcome ////

Hi John . Your Track is Beautiful and Sounds awesome . Thank you my friend /////

@brian mcallister: Thank you Brian always a pleasure

thank you :-)

yes ! you are welcome

Of Jason Newstead playing on the album

Yes :-) thank you

Sounding good !

@bdajaysus - You may not know this version of UMT (a Canadian cover of the Stones tune) but there's some pretty challenging drum fills (with double-bass I think). Interested?

@Eric : Always loved this tune nice version on my list ;-)

Sweet keys Eric !!

@Bdajaysus: Perfect! Invite sent.

I would leave it there. This highlights the differences in interpretation.

@hotpico - Oh my! Claude, you just made my day! So sweet your slides and bends. You should see the smile on my face. Great idea to do multiple takes (to add slides). Very nicely done your video too. Published!

I should have also mentioned your use of your whammy too. Very nice combo (slides, whammy, bends)!

@Eric : Thanks Eric! I was not sure about the result. I'm happy you like it.

@Claude : Sure do!

@Claude : Very nice Claude worthy addition

Perfect job. Thanks once again. You are quick!

@Eric : I think he's using brushes in original but I have e-drums and brushes don't work so well plus they damage the heads

Stu…that sure came out great. Thanks again for the invite to join this talented group and a worthy tribute to JD.

@Rick : My pleasure! :-)

Mr flat.. most grateful for the kind words. Perhaps we can get on a few collabs. I've a few in the works. Drop me a message on your preferred styles.

Hi Hank I have synced your track in the studio (-0.046). It hasn't been published yet but it should be reflected when it is published.

If the sound is not synchronized on the studio screen, please tell me which part is the problem.

Thank you Delwin

delwin - Hey thanks for commenting. We were all very happy how this turned out. Still need a video from Fuss also to top it off

Thanks, Delwin, for stopping bu and leaving a note…

FelKeys - I believe Fuss plans to do a proper video with his vocal track

@CyberBass: Yes Rob, we’ll be waiting for his vid.

Eventually :)

There is still the BH mix in the video, isn't it? (My organ is here panned left whereas it's panned to the right on my mixes - like in the original recording).

Possible, I had no change to review the updated version, I am away but will check again later…

@Nordlicht: Found the reason… publishing from DAW vs publishing from Studio will give you opposite panning results. I published from DAW.

I need you to know... I want you to know.... this is almost as fun as Grinch.

Wonderful Alf works awsome for me I can hear all instruments and vocals equally balanced and defined , there's body there and just the right amount of reverb/echo.

Thanks Alf, I am with John. I will wait to hear from the rest of the band before adding the great mix!

Fantastic! Are we that good??

@CyberBass: GrandPa Rob You Are !!!! ;-)))

@Bdajaysus: Haha -thanks John! That's me in a few months! lol.

Thanks

Cool. I'm still working on this. I will be posting updates of my track, while I progress cause I'm preparing myself for my first gig.

Sounds great Eric delighted to be in this collab Thank you for the invite and guys for their great performances

Souds good to me, well done guys :-)

Does the guitar need to come up in the mix? Sounds like we are missing some of that strumming goodness.

@CyberBass: I agree. I increased the acoustic and dropped the piano a bit. I think it's better balanced now. Let me know what you think.

@Eric : sounds great buddy - nice work!

pcderic - Eric this is sounding really good thanks for publish. I altered my sync I was behind the beat, worry - next publish will catch it. You guys all really nailed the simplicity and elegance of this tune. Very happy to be a part of this one! Vocals are outstanding CC

@Cyberbass - Thanks so much for your superb bass track. Great playing and sound. Blends-in so well. Published!

@pcderic: thanks buddy! Your piano is the heart of the song in my opinion.

@CyberBass: Rob you are having some time of it Full house and 1,2 Ferrari, does it get any better, my daughter loves F1 and her favourite races are when a certain guy is not on the podium

@Bdajaysus: That's funny John, I was wondering just last night if the crest on the hat could even be seen with my green screen messing up the image!

Thanks!

CopyCat - Absolutely, great vocals. Just noticed the stereo effect (with the "and") BVs right now. Awesome! Sounds so smooth. Applied your DAW mix and Published!

@pcderic: Thank you, Sir. I'm glad you like it.

Hank87 - Dear friend Hank. Thank you so much for the additional track ! Awesome talent !

Great job. Sounds great John! I think we can expect that Frank will pass by soon enough to re-publish. Looking forward to your percussion track.

Bdajaysus - OMG ! Dear John please accept my 1000 apologies for not publishing your track sooner...My fault..So sorry..Excellent work my friend ! Thanks so much ! Let me know how you like the mix...

@thx1138: Frank mix is great just real glad to see you back :-)

Yeah, take your drums to the beach! Or just go shirtless with your John-the-Red summer tan.

Frank I look forward to joining you and thanks for the shout out

Thank you so much!! :) Happy to help you guys out!

PERFECT!! Your track is exactly what I wanted. The pitch is accurate and great work Beach girl! I'd like to try applying the same effects to your voice as I did. Maybe it will make the harmony even more beautiful. If it doesn't make much difference, I'll leave it as it is.Thank you !!

@yoshikoba: Haha thank you!! Yes, no problem! I wanted to mimick the same effects, but wasn't sure how, so please work your magic :p

@marjolein @yoshikoba Nice!!! Perfect pitch and harmonies. So cool! Great job!

@pcderic: Thank you!!

Complimenti per l’ottima voce….!!!

@Andrea Tek_drum : Grazie mille! :)

Brovoooo!

Excellent track, Nordlicht! Thank you so much!

tek_drum Thanks Andrea. I like it! Let's see how it fits once we got more instruments added. Thank you!

@Daniel Ramos (@dan00075): Nuova traccia caricata.....rimango a disposizione..

@Andrea Tek_drum : Excellent! Thanks Andrea!
