ftFonz - All good my friend ! Message received loud and clear ! Thanks so much for the awesome drum track ! Nice work ! Appreciate you fitting this on in your schedule. Is your level ok in the mix ? Please feel free to send a mix.

yoshikoba - Perfect and Excellent ! Thank you so much Yoshi-san..

@thx1138: Thank you Frank-san..

rrbrass - Rockin' ! Thanks so much for the excellent Bass track !

John, thanks so much for your drum track. Great to have you in the collab dear friend.

Thanks Yves.

rrbrass - 2nd great track from you today ! Just fantastic..No FAB ! For the FAB FOUR !Thanks again for the great track !

You're on the right track AAC is lossless. Bandhug uses 128kbps from what I recall with Yves however when uploading a track you can select 256k (6:1 compression CD quality) which does help (320kbps is 4:1 compression) but this only matters when you are playing live into BH not if you have produced a track offline by which you have. I'll try and compare both tracks but you're on the right track. I also wonder if any phasing is occurring with your double track?

@Revup67: About the double-tracking, yes — there might be some phasing going on. They’re different takes, not with perfect alignment, but I think in some verses it can bring frequencies cancelled. I'll take another look on that.

I have to say that it sounds better Mattos, but there is still too much high frequency I think. It sounds better to my ears when I add a low pass filter at 5200 hz. You said that you used a double track. Could it be some kind of phase cancellation ?

@Claude : spot on was thinking the same. I also note in the WAV there's clipping which would detract from the sound. I've republished with the newer version but just need to figure out which is which in Studio Mode and remove the muted track. But damn what a friggin performance huh? PS when Mattos says Smokin and also Get High it's not as shreeking and the verse right after is also better.

Well, to really make sure any possible phasing is fixed, I realized I’ll have quite a bit of work here, because I didn’t separate the main and double buses — I did everything with volume automation. It’s going to take some work, but based on your feedback I really think the issue is the double track. Give me a little time, I’ll fix the clipping and reduce any chance of phasing

@mattos: thanks you may be right about BH. I just did a DAW mix and what I hear in DAW is not what's published even after a refresh. I'm going to put everything back in the center and leave as is. Mattos thanks for your efforts and if we can be of any help please let us know. We are all here to support each other.

@Revup67: Thank you my friend. I really appreciate all the feedback.

@mattos: anytime..just republished with the best version. panning is spot on now.

mattos - WOW Mattos! Brilliant! Congrats. I like the standing position too

Wow what a great performance ! Much improved Mattos timing and flow..just couldn't be any better. Only thing I can think of is (and this might be on my end I'm not sure)..the 'sound quality' only of the vocals seems narrow as if only the treble frequencies are working. Is anyone else experiencing the same? I'll try a refresh later and see if that helps.

@Revup67: Hey Anthony, thanks for the kind words and the feedback. I’m not sure if this is exactly what you meant, but I did feel the vocal losing some weight, especially when I jump into mixed voice. I checked to see if I had any high-pass on, but actually I didn’t use any EQ at all. I think I might try boosting a few frequencies and remixing it.

Hats off Mattos, I'm blowned away. So good performance and a killer look. I love it. I want to hear you louder. I don't know what cause the narrow sound but a low pass filter somewhere in the 4,2k could help and maybe aboost somwhere around 1,2k.

@mattos: I think you are on it! I agree also with HotPico below (or above). The vocals sound much too thin but yes a High Pass would be my first inspection which would eliminate any lower frequencies. It sounds like you are on this. Thank you for understanding and look forward to hearing more dynamics from your great voice!

Thanks a lot, everyone, for the feedback. I tried a new mix trying to find more space. Let me know what u think.

YOU crushed it bro. Excited to hear your new track.

May Ozzy hear us boast in Heaven - great work to all..thanks Mattos..looking forward. Maybe we will get Bandhug video of the year? This was truly a tough one for everyone. I've never considered Sabbath a difficult band to replicate, I was dead wrong. They were truly great!

I can't wait to hear that Mattos! And yes, there is a lot of challenge in Black Sabbath's music :-)

I thought Mattos was going to redo? But if he’s done then yes, I think so.

Hey one more week I promise!!! lol

Hi All..keeping this smokin' Collab Unlisted until the final mix is done. Will make it Public and Completed at that point so it makes its grand entrance.

I was noted it was just one chorus and verse line. But published anyway. So glad you intended more that that. No rush and send me another “test run” ! Thanks again.

@Rick : I think I got the entire track now.

@Flmusicgal: That was a good one, really sounds great and glad you got that technical issue fixed with your new set up. Thanks much, Rick

@Rick : Still working on the set up. I wish I knew an easy way to swap some of my favorite program settings to the new computer,

Danke, Rainer. Well done! :-)

A bit too busy, nein? I would re-do --TIA

Ja :-)

Its so hard to play slow

@manonamission : I'll try not to fill in to much.. cheers

Welcome :-)

Hello James, it's published, thanks.

Hello James, it's published, thanks.

Thank you my Master, great track, and thanks for adjusting my guitar too.

I think it's 3xcellent, Michael. Thanks.

Thanks, brother. Pretty good song.

Sure Travis Bob Barker! Go for it buddy!

@brijamcam: hahaha! That’s a big compliment to Bob’s drumming skills

@chazzwi: He's being overly kind.

@chazzwi: He's being overly kind.

Thanks. Reserved!

@brijamcam: bass track sent

@chazzwi: Really nice! The sync point that came over in your mix was off. Not sure what happened but I adjusted it. Sounds right to me but let me know. Thanks!

@brijamcam: thanks, I adjusted the sync in the mix but it sounds like it didn't save. Sounds good now

There is a slight hum on your track but I don't know if there is anything you can do about it. It's not noticeable once the song gets going.

@jaybern - great work there Joe..spot on

thanks alot !

@Revup67: Backed the sax and strings off just a bit after listening through speakers, The rhythm section really drives this song!

Very nice! Sorry, I didn't know you were busy :-(

@stubass: Turned out my company was delayed so it worked out great. I got three songs done. No apologies necessary, Stu.

@Bob : Terrific. Thx again

OK. Just let me know

@stubass: 10-4. Did a quick take before I had to go to a luncheon and then mever made it back. Hopefully tomorrow.

@Bob : Hope you're still with us

@stubass: Yes, just got very busy. Have company coming. Will have wait until weekend.

I'll put my track in drafts so you can publish if you want.

OK to simply silence the count-in?

@stubass: I don't think so. You just have to go into edit collab and change those two things. The BT will become track one and the count in Track 2. In edit collab you'll find the toggles.

@Bob Like this?

@stubass: Yes. Perfect. I'll get on it this weekend.

@Bob : Excellent

Yes we don't need a saxophone.

@yoshikoba: OK :-)

And thank you for allowing me to participate on this…. Sounds great so far

Oooh. Sounds excellent!! Great work!

Hiya , I hear it now

I can hear it...Panned left...

I just noticed you got a new drum kit?

@Stephen Sable: yessir, i was down and out for abit, like 4yrs...

@bbrian: Do you find the pads easier to play? I think it would be hard to get used to

@Stephen Sable: I like the mesh head for more real feel bounce but I also like the firmness of pads

@Stephen Sable: do you still have your yamaha kit?

@bbrian: yeah, it's a roland td-10 . I never got all the superior drummer stuff working to record anything that sounded good yet

Excellent bass track, SS. It carries the song. Great job all around, players. The only weak link is the vocalist. This one is in the can. Thanks.

@Strumbo: Nice work getting this one together with some exceptional talent…and that vocal sounds pretty good too. Rick

Thanks Joey!

It sounds good, hopefully you can make it public so others can enjoy too :)

@Stephen Sable: Thanks Stephen! It will be public soon, but I want to understand why there is some artifact in the video after publishing. Maybe @Dennisski or @YvesC can explain me.

Beautiful mix! Everyone sounds great! : )

@Stephen Sable: Finally, it seems that it is BandHug limitations when the project is too ressource-intensive.

@Claude : I'm guessing several videos uploaded recorded offline and large files being compressed down. I'm lucky to be able to record straight to the browser from webcam and audio mixer.

Stephen, your track is just perfect !! It is so good, you made my day. Thanks so much.

listened over 20x times today, never grows old. I hear there's 3 guitar tracks on that one..that lead is sensational.

Hai! SuperAshi! Mucho arigato!

Let's go with the father on this one :-)

@stubass: trust me. She is better than me. Let me submit a track of her doing it. You wont be sorry.

@BROZ: OK. Let's give it a listen

@stubass: If you sent it, I must have missed it. Please re-send if possible --thx

Thank you!!!!
