Gonna go with the Strat and end the pull off lick with the B and not a D
Its 8 minutes I’ll be redoing my Rhythm track over thank you for publishing it for me to check out
I removed the rhythm guitar track. Leaving all guitar tracks to Joe. This will be a great collab if done right.
I published the tracks, sounds in sync with the backing track overall. When the bass track gets added, that will help fatten up the sound. Hope that helps
Organ sent and synced. I sent a mix for just my levels at around 60%. Thanks.
What a nice song. Never heard it. It's not often I can play with anything but the BT, but this was an easy one with you guys and a great mix. Of course, the first attempt, I left my speakers on and had to redo it. Here's a drum track without background speakers. I did not try to cover fills because I couldn't hear them. I got thee groove down, though. Thanks for the invite, Stu.
I just stumbled upon it but as soon as I heard it, I knew we had to do it. Drumming is superb! --thx :-)
Here's the original but we're using the cover as the BT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbgiOfhsBQg
Core Instrumentation- Piano: Plays soft, high-register chord tones (emphasizing the fifth) to create a dreamy floating counter-melody. Guitar: Provides a sedated, rhythmic pulse (emphasizing the third of the chord) that locks into the triplet tempo.Vocals: Heavily featured as the main "instrument," utilizing lush, echo-drenched a cappella style harmonies ("doo-bop-sh-bop") alongside Nate Nelson's lead vocal.
I'm back from travels - great, great vocals, wow! Okay, I re-synced both bass tracks, so on a re-publish it should sound much, much tighter. Really without a BT or click or drums, it's a bit of a challenge, but I worked off of Michaels harpsy as best I could. Such a great collab - great work gents!
Bill yes we were most concerned with the 10 track limit for Bandhug servers in EU and CDN. It may not load at all. Anyway glad you were able to work around this limitation.
Hi Michael , Ive adjusted my vocals to -00.085 in studio mode, i think that pretty much sees them right timing wise. [as best i i can tell anyway ] Ive also adjusted the volumme in DAW down a pinch and tweeked the panning a bit as well , let me know what you think . I have noticed my ''God only Knows'' outtakes are slightly off [ pit falls of doing a double track ] I could do a re take if you think it will help the overall collab ,however given the nature of the outtake and with Tonys tracks to come, it might just blend in nicely anyway . Cheers , Sounding good guys .
Do what sounds good to you. I am relying on Revup67 a lot for some of this. Let’s see what he comes up with.
Right off the bat my little clarinet turnaround in the first verse is out of sync with the bass. I think I will wait until Bill adjusts his part and then match him. Are the rest of my parts okay as far as sync goes?
I got rid of the two backing tracks and condensed seven keyboard tracks into one window, for all the good it did. I may have just made a bigger mess. If you want to edit the window, it's a separate collab called GodpianosFHclarinetsFlutes.
I might suggest just doing two windows at once verses the whole batch. That would free up 3 tracks and give you far more control with the the audio. With those 3 free and removal of the two backing tracks, that should work.
8-18-26 Drum track added, rough mix completed. In reviewing the different volume levels on all tracks they vary greatly which makes mixing a bit more of a challenge. In order to bring levels to around the same dB level, I boosted Joeyman's volume to be more in line. They were on maximum and still a bit lower than the other tracks. I think it sounds better now however the mix needs more work but certainly better. I also put the two bass tracks to one side as they were killing the floor tom and kick drum which can still barely be heard. This was due to frequency overlap. Spreading the tracks out allowed more breathing room and avoid the overlap somewhat. You can only do so much with streaming at 256kb which is 1/6 of CD quality (1,411kb per channel native at 16bit 44.1khz).
Yoshi, you never cease to amaze!! Beautiful track with the guitars - so well voiced with the acoustic and the little treats offered by your electric - loved the high harmonic notes. You captured the atmosphere of the song - masterfully done my friend. Okay, I lowered the BT level to zero and added stems for the vocal and drums. I will take them down once we get those tracks. Temporary mix until we get it all togerher. Thank you - you bring a lot to every collab you do - it really shows on this one.
Thank you as always for your kind comments. Thanks to your publish, I realized that the balance of my guitar track was off. The acoustic guitar was too quiet, and the electric guitar was too loud. I’ve added a new track with the balance adjusted. (I’ve deleted the previous track.) If this is OK, I’d appreciate it if you could publish it again. Thnak you !
@yoshikoba: Excellent - love the adjustments, republished and reordered the tracks to keep us together. Sounds great!!
@BillBassDude : Thanks, Bill. But on my preview screen, it doesn’t look like anything has changed. I’m really sorry, but could you please publish it again from the Studio screen? When I publish from the DAW screen, the left and right channels get reversed. Sorry for the trouble.
@yoshikoba: Ok, republished again using the DAW mix and from the Studio screen. See if that made things right on your view.
Hi admin
There’s something I’m concerned about.The audio sounds clean in the DAW screen, but in the Studio screen it becomes distorted.This didn’t happen very often in the past, but recently it seems to occur more frequently.Do you know what might be causing this?
The studio has always had a "louder" difference. Different player. Thats all I know. If you lower the volume in studio it sounds better. If you can give me an example collab I can take a look.
@admin: Now that I understand the studio and the DAW use different players, I’m no longer concerned. I’ll just adjust the volume on the studio side. Thanks admin...
Rick your voice sounds so good and at the end you say, how's that, and your voice is so smooth, and you sing awesome
Hey Joe, glad your feeling a little better and appreciate the slide work! Got the C tuning version in. Always sounding great.
Bob and John...thanks for joining Lynn and me on this old Prine Holiday tune. Looks like it was a "big hit". With the Christmas Holiday now behind us, going to mark this one as Complete. Will re-recruit Bob on slide and Linda on BV as I will open this one back up next year for others to add their talent. thanks again, Rick
This collab may be considered for collab of the year but needs to be completed. Is it completed?
8-20-26 Remixed with bass off center, packs more of a punch. To do: Piano and Percussion. Frank's guitar work (warning) is deadly. Listen at your own risk.
And billbassdude thanks for jumping on that bass line so quickly from your return travel. It truly fills out the song. Did you wind up doing this all by ear or were you able to locate tabs?
@Revup67: This was a pretty quick learn - I listened to the bass stem in Studio One and learned it just by ear as best I could. And yes, Frank's guitar is absolutely a master class of deadly.
@BillBassDude : Revup67 - Anthony and Bill are the same...Way toooo kind with the words ! Thanks boys ! Honoured to be part of this one ! Bass work awesome ! Really fills it out like beef on a Taco ! Just uploaded the vocal track...Hope it makes the audition...
8-18-26 - @THX1138 - a superb, top notch performance..both guitar parts fit the bill like a custom tailored suit. Thanks a million!
Revup67 - Thanks so much for the kind words ! Your drumming is as perfect as a superb burrito supreme ! Or should I say Taco supreme ! Sound and playing is excellent at always ! Man we sound tight ! Please gimme until the weekend for the Vox...I need some 'props' for my track...Thanks again for the invite...!
cbgb Bassman75 - Excellent work boys ! Sounding great ! Bob - this one was not too hard - I did not play exact though...Here is a track for you...Hope you like it..
cbgb - Hey Captain ! Would like to try the guitar on this one please. I do have own projects and a few invites to catch up on so it may be a wee little while....
Hi,Yoshi, thank you for the fantastic guitar track. This was a great birthday surprise...
6-27-26 Wow, this turned out sooo fine! Thank you to everyone that participated on this Collab. It couldn't have turned out better! Collab marked Completed.
I second your wow….nice production Anthony and appreciate the invite to play with this very talented group.
Absolutely incredible ! Excellent work All ! I must admit I did not know this song ! Now I am among musical talent greats for this super cover ! Honoured to be part of this one !
Pete got it and published. I set the volume and panning to the same as on the original. I'm so glad the MIDI performance of the bells you'd performed matched up with the sound design I built for the DX7 synth. That was the magic to finalize the Collab. It truly sounds impressive. This might be one of my fave Collabs since I began on Bandhug. Everything is spot on. Thank you again for all your efforts and working with me on the MIDI volley. Hope we can do it again :)
Synth track added for your approval. I like my signal at about 40%, but you be the judge. Now on to the tinkly part!
Thanks a lot Pete - Just published bumped it only up to 45% and panned slightly to avoid frequency overlap..Sounds great! Thank you very much.
@joeyman1: Hey Joey , love to have you on it ill send the invite - thanks for joining
@joeyman1: Hi B just sent you a vocal track to check out , im having some tech issues with volumme levels and syncing atm, you might want to adjust and tweek on your end .Let me know what you think . Cheers joey
Okay, published with Georgi's new piano, I should say, sweet, sweet piano and Yoshi's incredible backing vocals. Working on the drums - trying to reduce the hiss on the track in post production. We are getting there - this has really shaped up beyond my wildest dreams and thanks to you all my wonderfully talented friends.
I’m out of the country and only have my iPad, so I have very limited interface with BH. I can’t set levels or publish until I get back. From what I could hear, it sounds very much closer to Thanks and I am looking forward to getting back to our wonderful collab when I return home.
Hi Bill. I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. Here's a track, such as it is. My set-up is not really geared to a delicate song like this, and you've all done a super job here. I had to boost my track three times and that brings up the BG noise, too. So I completely understand if you trash it. Not much more I can do. Cheers...
Bob, first, your track sounds great. I am out of the country for the week and have very limited BH abilities - I’m not able to work DAW, so I’ll have to do it and publish when I get back. Thank you for your time and efforts - it really sounds like a winner to me
@BillBassDude : Thanks. Maybe before you get back I can give it another shot with a different snare.
@Bob : Okay, I'm back - I can hear what you're talking about as far as the BG hissing noise. The drum track itself is fabulous, really well done and would be perfect if it weren't for the hiss. I'm going to explore if there is something we can try in post production to reduce, the hiss - are you okay with that? I'm no studio genius, but I'm always surprised by the number of tools out there available to work the tracks we record.
If there's no one who's taken over the piano, I can try. It's not going to be 1: 1, I could improvise in that style. You're doing very well so far.
I left a dry piano track for your review @BillBassDude, if you like it is yours, I can modify, the kids embarrassed me as you can see in the video.. :)
@Georgi : I was recording a bass track, and our cat jumped up on the railing and was cruising by - I would have kept it, but it got me laughing so hard it messed up my playing. I love the kids and the dog - so fun!!! Love your playing my friend, the video was just icing on the cake.
This is a nice rendition of choosing texas, you all played so well, lovely Vocals. your all so good keeping the spirit of country alive and kicking
Super nice tracks you recorded there Joe ! Well done, I love the final sound and the country spirit it gives ! :)
Sorry it took so long
Part of the problem for me is I played PS so long ago in the 70s with my buddy Emmons D10 . I met Doug Jernigan in Nashville 15 years ago and ended up buying the Zum Steel with his tuning and knee lever configurations and he’s such a beast. I can’t figure out what I even used to do on my steel. I’m just really grateful that you invited me to even do it. Thank you.
camillesobud manonamission SixStringRick jaybern I think this is a wrap! Thank you all for your amazing talent and for all the time you put into this collab. If you would like to do a new (better) mix, please let me know and I will open the collab up for mixing. Thannks a lot and until next time! Cheers!
Published again, I needed to bring up the volume of the keys and Bass, its the coolest bass line.
Michael, your a Master and one hell of a bad ass tough old bro. Cant thank you enough for your talent
Guilherme, I just love your Bass track, tunefully funky and soulful, such a cool bass groove, thank you brother bob and guizubao for hanging with me on this one
Happy that you liked it! That’s a cool song, with a Nice bassline! I don’t think I’ve ever listened before. ;)
Hi jaybern! I'm so sorry for the late response. I've been struggling with this s***** offline app. I have to record it directly from the browser. I don't know why it happens, but my tracks are sped up or slowed down. It's a nightmare. I'll redo it the traditional way :)
And so we have the final track. Not perfect but tell me if it works
@Guilherme von Zuben Ricetto: Thank you I was going to say no rush I have been putting in 12+ hour days going 3 weeks with 2 days off. I have only been able to answer PM and listen to stuff. I'll be getting my butt in gear to get caught up on Bandhug, thank you so much for being part of it all
