I’ve added percussion. This song pairs beautifully with Japan’s tranquil scenery. Please enjoy the video in the latter half as well.
background vocals sent, synced, and mixed as well. In all, I had eight tracks! I learned al ot about working with my software. Thanks. Any corrections or deletions, let me know.
strings combination track sent, synced and a mix for you. Let me know your honest opinion. Background vocals next.
Frank, I added my Synth Bell track with a Mix, apply the mix and let me know if you like it.
Frank, if you don't have anybody already committed for the Synth bells, send me an invitation, I will have it done by tomorrow.
Hi Frank, I did a test track. Vocal. It is in draft. I was trying my voice, if it sounds alright for you, I will give you a better, complete vocal. This one is only a test... not to be used...
bass sent in to check out...let me know if this one is ok....thanks for the invite
Uploaded the guitar track.I placed the sound on the left side, opposite your piano. I hope you like it.
I updated my track. It's almost full. Yoshi, did you give up the guitar? Let me know..
Amazing job recreating the backing vocals! There's a documentary on YouTube about the making of this extremely complex song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oxe4mlsQos
Added the BVs,, It sounds like the backing vocals in this song are layered with a synthesizer. I did my best to get as close as possible—I hope you like it.
Grant rrbrass SingingWomble - Gentlemen ! Thank you all for lending your time and talent...I love the raw Rock and Roll sound we have here...I think we are ok without keys ? Ok to close ?
After a long break I finally found the energy/will to sing again. Sorry you had to wait so long. In my mix I only adjusted my volume. :)
Hi Frank, Thanks for the invite, here is a drum track to check out, me hope you like, love that guitar work :-)
DIESEL88 Hey friend, I'm sending you the harmonica track of this raspy but genuine singer. Let me know if there are any details.
Give it away... ? carlo cppc , CyberBass , joeykaraoke - This Collab. is a loud, jamming kind of song. So cool dudes. Thanks.
diesel88 tracks for you. I have been having a lot of difficulty syncing my tracks and I am not 100% sure of the result, it seems that your tracks are not in sync with the bk track
Daniel...great song choice and you and Ray sounding spot-on. I submit the rythm acoustic for you to check out. I got to experimenting with some string work and thought it might sound OK, so included that for fun as well. Use only what works and glad to redo if needed. Thanks for the invite...Rick
hi
dan00075
i hope u didnt mind me laying down a drum track? please feel free to dismiss if you already had someone in mind to play. nice song by the way, ray
Vocals: If you want an instruments-only backing track, just let me know. Same for anyone else. Just ask.
5-1-26 - Michael - thanks for the sax part, that fit in nicely. Look forward to the remainder of the horns and E. Piano and possibly the Hammond if Yoshi declines.
4-28-26 - Drum track with Graphix completed. As Bill had mentioned via phone, the original has some sloppy timing but once Bill and I got on top of this song, it was no sweat. The rhythm section is super tight.
4-28-26 - @Camillesobud - the vocals are absolutely fabulous! Just listened with proper headphones. Congratulations this was not an easy song to sing. Remarkable work.
4-27-26 - great sound and performance Bill..very smooth indeed. I have just Published your performance. Thanks for getting on this so quickly.
Hi Stu...my high guitar track sounded a little "bell like" so made a few adjustments and also pulled back on the strumming to synch with the dynamics of this version. New track loaded and also remixed and panned the guitar tracks...so give the mix a listen. My main issue is not getting the tone/FX I'd like with the set up I have. Might have to spend some $$!
Stu just checked and the Collab shows "Media error: Format(s) not supported or source(s) not found". This happens when in DAW you publish. Try 1st "Apply Mix" checkbox and Publish from Studio Main (not DAW) that should clear up the issue.
Hi stu I uploaded the BVs,,This backing vocal part was the most difficult to transcribe and took the longest of all the collaborations I’ve done so far. I’d be really disappointed if you didn’t like it—so I hope you do.(^^)
Hi Stu and Yoshi..drum track completed with graphix. Got pretty close to Don Henley's sound and performance. Please feel free to mix accordingly..Enjoy!
4-30-26 - many thanks to all the musicians that contributed to this Collab. This turned out rather nice. Bill has added his lush smooth bass line recently which ties it altogether. Any comments about the mix? Please share as I will be making this public and mark completed. Thanks @Mrcguitartab, @PCDeric, @SingingWomble and @Billbassdude.
I am happy to play with such talented musicians! :) Vocals submitted. Tough timing on this one. Might try again before the end. ;o)
Keys submitted. I just started learning this one later today so there may be a few spots that sound shaky. If it's too noticeable, I'll redo it...
Hi Anthony just added some guitar. I also sent a DAW suggestion as the solo guitar needed to be put in sync. Hope it's ok and thanks for the invite :-)
Congratulations to all musicians on each of these Collaborations and of course the Collab owners.
Hey R ick i was toying with a new mix for this song , tell me what you think ?
Hi Joey...I'm pretty pleased how this came out, especially the attempt to stay on tempo with Dave Mathews doing this live and as a solo. Your vocals made the song, not too many could do that ! Thanks for sharing your talent. Let me know what you think of the mix before I mark this as complete.
Joey...hope all is well. I made a lot of adds to keep the feel of the song the same, while trying to smooth out those unpredictable synchopated timeing changes that Dave Mathews put in this live version...which I still like best. Lynns keys really helped, then I played some guitar to her keys. Anyway...almost there with this one. Let me know what you think of the mix.
Lynn, love the add on the keys. Making this Willie Nelson, Dave Mathews tune our own...and Joeys vocals are amazing on this, so sounding pretty good.
Hey Joey...filled out some of the guitar with added tracks. This one was more of a challenge for instruments than I expected as Dave Mathews has slight changes of tempo and pauses that make it hard to stay in synch...but this try seem to sound much better. May still add some keys?
4-29-26 @jaybern and @billbassdude - just checking guys..this may have gotten lost in the shuffle.
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.
Synthesizer: The Roland D-50 ("Pizzagogo" preset) provides the main, plucked melodic hook.
Strings: A 30-piece live string ensemble.
Percussion: Timpani.
Vocals: Layered, harmonic vocals by Enya.
Sounding great everyone!!! :oD I recorded vocals, hope the reverb fits, I think so. Thanks for the invitation. :)
4-28-26 Eric - you've nailed this one..truly nice rendition sound and performance..thanks a lot for jumping on this Collab!
4-21-26 Drum track completed with Graphix and Audio Produced (offset was -240).
Saw this band way back in 93 , they where opening the show for Lenny Kravitz. The singer was a bit drunk or stoned as he was pissing on stage... He is not alive anymore shame had a great voice.
