Lead and backing vocals submitted. I adjusted the timing but it does not allow me to trim the video to the audio sync. Andramegas , could you do that for me please? I hope you like the vocals. You all did a great job. Beautiful guitars, and great bass and precussion groove guys. Very good sound!
Megasis now instrumental part is completed, only lead & back vocals will be added. So you can take a shot on mix.
Andramegas Hi Andrei. Here is a bass track for you. Let me know if you want any changes. If I have to record again, it may have to be in the New Year. Thanks for the invite. Sounding great everyone.
Andrei,
I did a mix on my DAW, using only the tracks we recorded (Congas, Drums, 2 Guitars, 3 Keyboards) but without the back track.
The only section from the back track I left was the 3 clicks at the beginning.
I did some EQ/FX to the guitars, the congas and the drums. Let me know what you think...
This is the Mix adding Modena's vocal track (only her vocals).

This is the Mix but only instrumental.

Maximo, your mixes are excellent but now this collab is drumless for a while and only half tracks are added (i count 5 track will be added). Don't you think it's too early to mix now? Don't pay attention on temporary mix, please wait until the end of collab and then i'll take into account your mix propositions.
Andramegas I uploaded the Brass Section track, and did a few changes to the Mix volume and panning of my tracks.
Good morning, here it is with optional reverb. If you go in DAW and play, you can mute/unmute the last track which is a global reverb (except bass & drums). Quite effective on the guitar solo. Let me know your preference, thx1138 Hank87 pcderic Grant
YvesC - Salut Yves ! I listened ! I think it sounds great ! IMO gives more 'life' to the overall mix and yes adds to the guitar and particularly the solo ! I love it !
Prel. mix, I've panned keys on the left, guit on the right as the original, but not as drastic :) Comparing with the original I was thinking of adding reverb on couple of tracks, but not sure anymore, your thoughts ?
IMO, as long as it helps to make it sound like the original and that the effect itself is good. I have that feeling that the built-in BH reverb effect isn't that good?
Since I'm resubmitting my track soon, I'll add a bit of reverb at the source.
Actually, I think it's the opposite. My track needs less! It sounds like I'm recording with a mic. I like the zero (or near-zero) reverb on the other instruments so I'll redo mine w/ zero (or much less) reverb...
I did a clone of this collab on which i will test. Good idea to submit a dry track, easy to add verb, impossible to remove ;)
@YvesC: YvesC Removed most of my reverb and changed my piano sound. I'll let you republish.
Submitted a prelim. keyboard track. There's something I don't like in the sound so I'll probably submit something better later (don't close it yet pls).
Hank87 Grant YvesC - Hi Team ! Almost there ! Sounding great ! Thanks again...Just keys and then we will be able to shut The Doors on this one...
thx1138 Cool guitar. How many you got?! Do you own a guitar shop or something?
@pcderic: Thanks man...LOL ! This one I hand-painted myself...After Eric Claption's 'Fool SG'....Took me seven months to complete it...Thanks for accepting the invite on this one..
@thx1138: Very crafty! Would love to see it in person. Lots of work to disassemble and reassemble, isn't it?
@pcderic: Oh yes....! Hardward and electronics removal...Sanding...painting..clear coat...buffing..etc..Never again.....LOL !
@pcderic: The original one just sold recently at auction...Slightly beyond my budget though LOL ! Check it out here -->. https://www.julienslive.com/lo....t-details/index/cata
@thx1138: Nice work replicating it! I can see how you felt compelled to have your own version of one of my favorite guitarists' (ex-)possession.
@thx1138: I guess you must have seen this? https://reverb.com/en-se/news/....eric-clapton-the-foo
@pcderic: Thanks for the link...! Not sure I read that specific one...Thanks !
Hi Frank @thx1138 I understand that you prob had thousands notifications :) but I sent a bass line here hehe
Hello my Master, I sure like your guitar track, thank you very much my friend!
My Master, of course, thank you very much, I didn't invite you as I know you have a lot of projects to take care of
Hi Julio,,,Although I can't get started right away, I would like to play electric guitar and backing vocals.Are you Okay?
carlosred Thank you, Carlo. These are very nice tracks. Well done!
Celli (o's) sent and synced pretty close. my string tracks are panned already, so leaving them centered will have the desired effect unless you have something else in mind. Thanks, as always let me know of any corrections, additions, or deletions.
Thanks Pete. The mix will change considerably as more tracks arrive. Looking forward to those strings.
@Daniel Ramos (@dan00075): Violins sent and synced pretty we. Celli maybe tomorrow?
Jon...by chance those were the 3 chords I knew on Mando. Just added a little strum in there. If it works, use it. Saved a mix, to pull the volume slider to about 25%.
sounds great! Thank you Rick so glad to have you on this. Let's do another!
joeykaraoke - Hey Joe, I saw your fb post and heard this great collab! I saved a mix, if you're interested. Your lead vocals should be boosted in my mix as they are maxed out already But this is guitar heavy song - so I cranked Surfer. Anyway - sorry to stick my nose in - ignore if you want!
Thank Rob! I added that mix. It sounds better. I appreciate you lending your ear!
@joeykaraoke : Anytime Joe! I cranked tonysurf70 level as well. Will probably need to be adjusted when you get your bass track
@CyberBass: Would you play the bass on Show me the Way? I've been meaning to cover Frampton since the BH days!
I'd love to complete this one although it sounds pretty good with Frampton singing backup vocals.
Surferbeto , Robbie, Right back at ya! I saw it in the Studio, was just waiting for the nod. Nice work Sir! DAW settings applied, collab published! Another great one! Thank you for playing on Bandhug!!
CyberBass and everyone else involved - That was the perfect finishing touch for this collab, Rob. Well played, as always! And your timing adjustment sounds right on to me. I have done another stereo mix. If you all can agree with that, I'll mark this one as Completed. Feel free to submit any final tweaks of your own in DAW. I tried to recreate the same stereo effect as the original, and mix levels accordingly. Opinions?
CopyCat - I'm no student of the original, but generally bass and drums are center.
@CyberBass: I agree about bass and drums usually being centered. I almost always mix that way, but for this song I thought I'd try to match the original mix the best I could, just because I think it's kinda cool. If you go into DAW and solo the BT and turn up the volume and listen with headphones, you'll hear the original mix with all the original panning. I hear drums and bass on the left, and guitar and keys on the right, and Jim's vocal centered. I noticed in the mix you submitted, you left the panning alone, and only lowered your bass level a bit. So you thought the bass was set too high? Anyone else feel that way about the bass? Personally, I want to hear it, so I set it at 50% so it wouldn't stand out too much. I kinda like it there at 50% but I'm willing to lower it to where you set it, if you really want that. But I'd like to get everyone's opinion about the bass level first. We should all agree, I think.
@CopyCat : Ooops, I did pan bass and drums to center but maybe after I saved the mix. Anyway, you are correct the original is similar to this. As long as the right side doesn't feel like there's a hole in it - cool with me.
@CyberBass: We'll wait for everyone's opinion about the original mix. If we decide to center the bas and drums, we should probably keep some stereo effect by separating the guitar and keys to opposite sides, even though they're on the same side in the original. That would be better than all mono, IMO.
@CopyCat : I restored my previous organ track. It sounds better with the rest IMO. May I ask for a Publish sir?
@CopyCat : I'm good on my end. Thanks CC for your awesome collab. It's been fun!
CopyCat OK, now I'm nitpicky. Just noticed your track seems to be clipping. I wonder if your original track you uploaded had this problem?
Rob love the tone and groove with Hal's guitar , awsome keys Eric and at this stage is a given CC always brings his "A" game I'm guessing you were top of the class CC
@pcderic: Regarding the guitar hum at the beginning; We can certainly clean that up before the final mix. No worries. And regarding the clipping in the vocal track; I noticed that too. I must have boosted the track gain unnecessarily. I have saved the original unboosted (non-clipping) vocal track, so I can swap those tracks when I get the chance. No problem. I appreciate your ears noticing things that can improve. We should all do that, IMO.
When did this become "she gets high"? I've been listening to this on the radio for like 50 years - are you telling me this was censored? ? I never owned the album...or did they re-issue the tune with diff lyrics?
CyberBass - Yeah, the version we're all familiar with has the word "high" cut out. Interesting to hear what Jim actually sang there. If you google it, you'll probably learn something about that.
@CopyCat : Crazy man, there's a ton of people who have never heard the high part. https://www.reddit.com/r/Retco....nned/comments/8t4y0e
@CopyCat : Way ahead of ya up here bro! 2018. They are slowly talking about legalizing psychedelics in the US too. It's mail-order up here lol. I get fb ads for shrooms and lsd now!
@CopyCat : I just learned that too (the lyrics). Actually, I didn't undertand what "she gets" meant. All makes sense now.
ftele - I think your recording level is good. No signs of clipping in your waveform. Again, a very cool and fitting performance, and so quickly done. Thanks a lot!! I'd say your timing sounds right set at around .035 and I panned tracks similar to the original stereo recording. So far, I think we all sound really good together on this. Even with the BT muted. Looking forward to Rob's bass track next!
@Copycat ftele I agree. I like the jazzy guitar version you've done here. Blends really with the jazzy drumming from Bdajaysus. Very cool! There's a nice little black corner for you there Mr CyberBass Rob (no rush)...
CopyCat ftele Bdajaysus CyberBass I uploaded a different keys track, with a Rhodes-sounding E.P. instead of organ, to hopefully gel better with the guitar/drums style we have so far (and leaving more room for the bass). Let me know if you prefer the previous version I uploaded? I left it in Draft. Copycat, the guitar track will probably need to be higher in the mix.
@pcderic: I like the Rhodes sound. Once again, very well played and mixes in well after a minor timing adjustment. Volume levels are always subject to change. Keys may be too low in the current mix. Everyone is welcome to submit volume changes in DAW. So far sounding great!
Keys sounded a whisker behind in quite a few places so I've given them a nudge in DAW (I actually think it's down to my video rendering because it's happened to me before with other collabs). I think I saved it properly (if I didn't, it was -00:00.080).
Sounding great so far - we make a good band! :D
Published the collab with fixed time. Will soon update the mix
@Marcin Zieleń (@greenman): Maybe it's my impression but it seems to me that the acoustic guitar is a little too panned to the right
@LocProg Sandro: @LocProg Sandro: Do you mean the track that was produced by bandhug (which is backing track and traks 1-8) or the mix in track 9? As I said before I do not mind very much about the mix produced by bandhug. in final version I want to mute all the tracks except mix track. I'm still doing some updates in the mix, so none of the versions is final. I think that in the original acoustic is very panned. But, OK, I will pann it a little less in the next version if you say so. Currently uploaded current version.
@Marcin Zieleń (@greenman): I mean the acoustic guitar track (even in the DAW the PAN is slightly moved to the right). But look, it's just my opinion, maybe you and others like it that way and that's fine. I should listen carefully to the original, maybe it's just like that... In any case, we're waiting for Cbien's vocals. We have time for the final mix...
@Marcin Zieleń (@greenman): In fact, I'm listening to the original song now and it seems like you're right. The various guitar tracks are actually quite panned left or right...
Hi guys. I uploaded my mix that is currently as track 9. Added some EQ / Reverbs and some other FX here and there and adjusted volumes. Let me know what do you think about it.
Didn't do the fade out yet. I think i will do some fade out on guitar and drums but keep the whole track hearable until the final ending by @Deuils cause I like it very much and do not like very much fadeouts.
@Marcin Zieleń (@greenman): It seems fine to me. We need to wait for Cbien's vocal track to have the final mix. However it's coming out really, really well and Cbien can just put the icing on the cake. I'm happy to be part of this collaboration!!!!!!!!
Sounds nice^^ But we really need the long fade out, or I need it since there's a gigantic blooper at the end on my part, I'd rather not have to hear it again :p
@Marcin Zieleń (@greenman): 8.05 omg that crash arriving too late to save a drowning witch... ( zappa pun )
Hi Marcin, I've added the Mellotron violins, chorus keys (piano and organ), and the clarinet/bass clarinet solos for your consideration. I don't mind adding the extra piano parts later if you like.
thanks. im currently without access to computer. will check it on monday / thursday
@LocProg Sandro: Thanks Sandro. And it's good to be working with you again.
Hey again Deuils^^ Nice to have you onboard, this collab is growing nicely. Fantastic job !
asked Maximo for melotron but im not sure if he agreed. Im not very available until monday.
CarolGrand - Hot stuff ! Awesome singing and nice moves ! Hips don't Lie ! Lelelelelololol-Lelelelololol ! Woo hoo! Thanks for the invite..! Here is some guitar for you !
OMG Thank you so much!!!! it sounds Perfect!!! I love it!!! thanks for joining the Shaki Fan Club!!!! it sounds perfect and love the FX too!! Leleleleloooooooo!!!!
Drum track done. Had to play with latency to get it right. Thanks Btian.
Hi Guy . Beautiful . Always Great to have you . Awesome track recording ///////
Dennis, I don't know if I really understand what I've prepared. I have made three tracks, which I have tried to adjust as much as I can. Tell me if I have to repeat or cancel something. Thanks again for inviting me. I hope to catch up on Bandhug with new collabs.
Lets all give a warm welcome to an old Bandhub favorite, Jose Manuel Nistal Bartolome - nistaljm . Welcome to Bandhug!
Thank you very much. It is a great pleasure to be back with all of you. !!
Hi, Dennis. I would like to continue with bandhug but I would like to kow how to access to equalizer, tools, etc. etc. as it was in bandhub.. It's not a problem of subscription and/or money (I don't know the conditions) but it's a necessary condition to feel fine with the app.. Thaks a lot ! . I made several tracks but with no idea of the result because I can't enter in tools and adjust volume, etc.
Sure.. I'll do it. Throughout this next week I will record it. I hope I don't have too many problems adapting to the app, since it's my first time, although I'm a bandhub veteran. Thank you very much, and one question: there are choruses, I understand you're not asking me for that too?
Hi, my friend.. Denis notify me about your requirement for this song.. Excuse me but I have not received any invitation for this collab..May be I'm not habituate in bandhug.. please, let me know.. I would be interested.. Thanks a lot
Hal Buddy ! Finally I see u here...Now get off ur butt and let us start making some music...
Michmuch - CyberBass - ftele - Are you guys OK with tuning down a bit to match our current BT, or would you rather have the BT changed to standard tuning? Either way is fine with me.
I just gave it a try and found out that it's not a 440Hz tuning (much higher, around 450 I think). Could be a problem for keys. Maybe we should adjust the BT to A440Hz?
@CopyCat : For keys, it's not a huge problem. So it's workable for most of us but a small pain times the number of players. Make sure that the tuning is not to accomodate the vocals and if not, change it?
If it's an old track, it might have been be caused by tape acceleration for higher bpm. To be looked into..
@pcderic: The sound quality of that one you just posted from YT seems much lower than what we have here as the current BT. I don't know. Would you guys prefer this new version that's tuned to standard? It doesn't matter much to me, but I'd like to use the highest possible sound quality for our BT. Tuning our current BT down about 40 cents or so is also an option for me. Easy to tune tracks in Studio One.
@CopyCat : I'm not too concerned. I usually create synth patches that are song specific and detuning is saved in them when needed
@CopyCat : fyi, i noticed Uktimate Guitar suggesting the playing with a capo on the 1st fret and wikipedia mentioning the Eb key. Doesn't sound like a real problem to me (yet).
@pcderic: We'll get the BT sorted out, before anyone records. Not a problem.
... but a good idea to decide ahead of time. (my answer being tgat it's not a problem for me if we keep the orig. tuning)
@pcderic: Of course. It's essential for all instruments to come in together.
I need to add a count-in to the BT. Bdajaysus is invited for drums. You all in?
Sure, I'm up for it. Sounds like the keys predominance is piano for the first half, then organ for the second, similar to Night Moves. I might take a while to get to it (other songs, tax season) so I'm ok if you want to do multiple invitations.
@pcderic: Sounds good. We can let this one sit on the back burner for a while.
It sounds fantastic, bravo, and thank you for having me in this collab with you all, I enjoyed this new experience.
Masoizig Backbone Zephyr YvesC Georgi . Thank You for a Fantastic Collaboration . All parts are in now . Please advise any changes you prefer . Publishing in Studio reverts the panning proces ..../////
Karine, it's so good to see you..! Excellent collaboration! Bravo, everyone!
YvesC Thank You Yves , for a Nice Bass Track , the Editing , Video and Mix . Super Job /////
Great track Yves, it sounds great and I love your video background, you and Janet add peace in this collab :)
Masoizig it is nice to see a familiar face from Bandhub days. Thanks for the nice comment. Your voice takes it to a new and sublime level!
Hi Stu, left a couple acoustic guitar tracks for you...a twelve and a six string. Use what works and just let me know if you had something different in mind. Mix saved. Rick
Hi stubass here is a drum track for you, I hope it fits in ok, the volume will need to be dialed back on it tho :-)
Jon Darren. Need Drums? if so let me know. Thanks.
@owen this is a great addition as well! Thank you!
Great song! Nice to see you Jon!
Nice job! great song!
