Simple tune, but still was a challenge as the down beats between vocals and whatever that melody in the BT were doing? Anyway glad just playing to your vocals worked after you ran through your DAW. Sound on beat now., nice job ! Rick
Hi Arejay...left you a guitar. That backing track had issues, was just a blob of static, so I just muted it and recorded to your vocals and did my best to keep the tempo on beat. Love the Peter Paul and Mary version so kinda used there strums considering the BT was kinda messed up. Hope it works, Rick
HI @Mrcguitartab thank you for the invite (what is your name by the way ?). I'll try to learn the song and record when I have time. I still have some other songs to record first but I'll put this one on my to-do list too, hope you're not in a hurry ! :) Nice tracks you've already recorded there, well done !!
Thanks Camille will be great to have you on this one and there is no rush at all just do it when you have the time. I will reserve the spot for you. I'm Mike by the way and look forward to hearing your great vocals cheers :-)
@MrCGuitarTab : Thank you Mike, will do my best, I'm super honored to be invited !! :)
camillesobud this is the song with the harmony part, thanks for joining us, I'll send an invitation
thank you for the invite ! :) I'm glad to join you all ! Will try to record some backing vocals when I can. Good job so far everyone !
michaeldixon , do you want to ask your recomedation if she would have interest or time in adding the backup vocals the person I asked didnt respond , and would like to see this finished up ...
I'm not trying to blow my own horn, but I think the piano needs to be just a bit louder. Compare with the BT.
OK Brian..best I can do with the tracks as they are..I gave Frabs guitar more presence as the recording was a bit flat. Michael's sound and Bill's sound are excellent. Cymbals are fairly muted and drums compressed but did not alter their sound. I could add more splash on the cymbals but see if you like it as is within revised mix. Shifting the drums in any other panning position seemed to make the drum sound worse likely due to frequency overlap and lack of sound separation on the kit. Applied DAW mix and Published @ 1:45pm today 9-6-26. Hope this works for you.
Wow what a difference in the over all tones and warmth , thanks for you time to mix this up.
Pulled in the big guns on this one - awesome!! Great all around and thanks to the techno genius who can get it done!
@BillBassDude : Yes and from what I hear you're one of them - :) He gave me a bunch of great mixing tips so now I kow how and what to listen for in shaping the sound a little bit diffrent from shapinf sound in a live setting
Revup67 thank you for jumping to mix yes and billbassdude did great on initial levels as well
I am very much into this as it is now my second LS tune in my life. thank you for the invite, when we get the drums in and bass, I'll see if about fixing a few overbends and may have to raise the volume of the rhythm track, but we'll see. Its sounding darn great with your vocals
2 new tracks in Mysaved settings DAW, its 1:30 am. so I kinda lipsynched my guitar part after I recorded it my Mac, so the video does not really match what I am playing. but it came out cool, I hope u like it. if not I can still work on it
@bbrian: the tracks are probably mp3 as that is what we used back then. I need to convert everything to ogg. Usually just doing a fix mono on each track should work. I dont know if will affect recording. I will convert this weekend.
have record issue start never shows stop to save track and cancel never comes on
Sounds great Yoshi thanks for your help on this one it is much appreciated :-)
Thanks Taye6 drums sound great. Thanks for your help on this one much appreciated :-)
I will send you and invite for mine if that's ok as I had to tweek the backing to put it in tune. The backing on youtube is slightly out. Cheers Mike
Took a run at the synth parts - I took down the other track, so it is all us with Paul's vocals for now. Still working the levels, more to come.
BT level set to zero, added just Paul's vocal and the mostly synth track, so it is just us rockin' steady and sounding great my friends. Really, really happy with the groove we got goin'. The mix levels are temporary - more to come.
Okay a bit of syncing - done! John, your drums are just incredible! Really great energy and the hits are so spot on. Tomorrow, I will take down the BT and replace with just the vocals and a little of the instruments just to have the synth mostly, Yoshis guitars will still shine as they do. I'll be working on the synth part to lead us in and elsewhere in the song. I hope to have a little more time this week. Thanks to both of you, this is really shaping up nicely.
Hi Bill track sent for your deliberation, please let me know what changes you want. Great song.
Thank you, just listened - it is an awesome track!! Such a great performance - I'll do some syncing with you and me in particular - my bass sounds a little behind in spots. I usually have to move it up, bad habit of playing a bit behind the beat . I'll work on it tonight and then publish. Really well done John, again thank you.
Guitars sound and look awesome! I love the appliques very cool. Great tone on the rhythm - hard to distinquish between you and the BT - nicely done.
@BillBassDude : Glad you liked it, thank you! It looks like the left and right audio channels are swapped, so could you please publish it again from the Studio page? Thank you..
NorthernKeys &. Cora, it took me awhile to put this one together. Here's what I got. Thank You.
you.
Second track added - that should be everything. If you check my saved DAW settings I got a slightly cleaner sync between us all there. Hope I've been able to help you on this song! I remember this from when I was a kid.
I just added the primary string parts and pizzicato during the verse. I'll add a second track with the reverse piano phrase and try to approximate the string glissandos as well.
10-21-26 - Thank you Joe for the updated guitar tracks, very nice sound with improved ambience. Collab marked completed today 10-21-26 and officially made public.
Wow. Holy Crap. Great job Anthony
Camille you song bird. Great tribute to Sandy Denny. Anthony nill see what I can do about the brittle acoustic tone of any. Will get back to you on that
Ok sounds good and if you want my help to tweak this in studio one I have time for an hour or so.
Great work Camille ! Glad we opted to take this one step forward and attempt a redo. This version shines. Added some production techniques to the vocals and the entire track turned out as pristine as can be. Thank you for another gem. I am getting ready to Complete this project unless anyone has any rejections.
Thank you Joe and Anthony for the feedbacks, I really like this completed collab :) Well done everyone !!
Wow, this has really come together - it is an absolute beautiful rendition of the original. Joe's guitar work was so well done and I love Camille's vocal - just incredible, I fear the day she get's swept away on tour. The production on this is stellar my friend, your attention to detail is amazing. The challenge of this song was transformational for me - and as much as I banged my head trying to get something close, it really was a great experience and taught me more than you'll ever know. Thanks for including me on this really special song.
@BillBassDude : The line bass sounds pretty tricky to my hear, you did super great Bill on this one. And thank you for the kind words ahah ! :) I feel lucky to be part of this group with you all !!
At this point the 4 of us all virtually have given each other a group Bandhug, righteous..this was a great one to do..I'm just blown away by all of your talent :)
Camille. Diggin the new vocal track, I synched in my saved setting in DAW and had to lower my volume. Simplified it. but it sounds great. a bit mellower but sweet. I dint really have the acoustic parts like the studio version I cheated to get what I was bale to accomplish. The Bass is mazing for sure and the drum accompaniment
Hi Tonda...may have UKE mom add something here, bass is pending, and I was looking at adding some backing vocals. I know we are getting to the end of the month and your wont have rights to publish, but glad to do that for you if you assign my way, or Daniel can also do...bottom line will get this one done as well. Eventually hope you able to make your way back to Band Hug on a regular basis. Best to you and keep singing for the joy of doing so. Rick
Thanks Rick. If Daniel will forward the colab for you to complete that would be great. I’m hoping to rejoin as soon as I get a new laptop top. Mine is from the age of dinosaurs so needs replacing.
Hi Modric...like the song, going to keep that one in my set for our memory care gigs ! I gave you to of the guitars, my picking is not like the original, but might work? I hear an electric in there as well, so will add that for you. I saved a mix for the guitars to fit in. Also your vocals are really hot, just a little too much gain. Im thinking you may want to move the volume slider to about 25-30%. I did that in the saved mix so if you like it keep it. One more guitar on the way. On our other collab just waiting for Flmusicgal to add her backing vocals and will then have that one complete. And Welcome back, Rick
Thanks for that Rick. After two years away i have forgotten most of the technical stuff on recordings. Any assistance on colab is greatly appreciated. Things have changed a bit since i was last on here. Gonna check it out later tonight. ( uk time).
@modric12: Hi Rick. great additions . Thank you. I tried to invite those two keys players and one more but a notification comes back seconds later saying they are not available for this colab. Not sure if they even saw it ?
BT set to zero, it is just us now with Paul's vocals and the other instruments. The bass and drums are rockin! More to come!
Track sent Bill that is an exceptional bass line man !! Really appreciate the invite do let me know if you need anything changed.
Thanks and double thanks, wow - another great track - it is just drum mastery on auditory display. I am blown away - there is something special about a song when the drums and bass connect. We are there my friend. This is too much fun. I will do the same tomorrrow, Zero out the BT, lose the drums and bass stems and bring back just the vocals and other instruments. Thanks again!!
Thanks for having me in the band Julio. Great keys Michael and precision drums John. A nice collab!
I did the piano again. I can do it over if you want. It's in tune this time.
Great Michael, nice track, thanks for joining and help me bringing this bt to the right pitch.
I'm still hav Ng intermittent problems logging in and reloading pges:? I will try again tomorrow.
I wasn’t able to connect to Bandhug all day today. I’ll try and do the piano over tomorrow. Tuning sounds good.
Hello Michael, I faced the same problem, but seems to be solved now. Nice that tuning is ok.
Hey, is this collab still alive? I think I could do the piano part much better. Have you listened to the guitar and piano together in DAW mode? Do they sound a bit out of tune to anybody else? I could surely do the piano over again but not if you’ re just going to leave it as is.
Hello Michael, first of all, I'm sorry for so long to reply to you. I tried to find out if my guitar was out of tune, because all the times I start a new collab I check many times if it is on the right tune. But I'm not specialist in this issue so I looked for my dear friend Yoshikoba that kindly sent me his analysis and here it is: Hi, Julio. I listened to your contribution. Your guitar is tuned to standard pitch (A = 440 Hz). The difference actually lies in the backing track, which is tuned to A = 444 Hz. So, there is no tuning mismatch between your guitar and Michael's piano. Michael likely noticed this pitch difference when playing along with the track. In fact, it is very common for backing tracks not to be at standard pitch. In fact I didn't realize the song wasn't at standard pitch, when I noticed it I always try to find another backing track.
@Jaugb: Aha. Well, the pitch of the backing track can be changed and n YouTube. There is a small box in the upper right hand corner, I think it is red, not positive , but I think it is red. You can adjust the pitch of the song very slightly sharp or flat. You could try that and then replace the backing track. I absolutely trust what Yoshi says about anything like this. Let me know.
I cannot change the pitch of my keyboard by that small of amount so you will need to adjust it and replace the current BT. I will play my part over when you tell me.
@Michael Dixon: Hello, Michael, I tried doing it on YT, but didn't find the way, but I could do it using Audacity, now the revised BT is published, please, check if the adjustment done is enough to solve this problem or should I increase it a little bit more or yet decreasing it a little. Just for your reference, in Audacity, if you still don't know , adjustments are done in percentage, in this case it was recommended -0,16%.
Hi Guys , Just A quick update on this collab , as yet i havent heard anything back from Heather regarding vocals , i do believe she,s back from a long break and fingers crossed she will reach out soon .

Need Help? Questions? Email support@bandhug.com




I did all of the strings over again. I hope this one is a keeper.
Added guitar track..I hope you like it..Great song selection! I really enjoyed it,Thank you stu!!
Redid the electric piano and strings. I think it's better, but I listened to the Pro BT, and I could probably get it closer if needed. I am open to suggestions.
very nice song selection and performance thus far by Stu and Taye6
