Hey band. This one is sounding pretty good, though it's not in sync all the way through. I know, it's not easy to keep the timing bang on for 8 minutes. Hard to tell who is off where, but I've aligned everyone as best I can to the original recording. If anyone wants to tweak their own track before I publish, now's the time to do it. Maybe I'm being picky, but I like to engineer these things as best I can for everyone's sake. Cheers.
Wow Greg. Not sure if what I just listened to was the most recent publish but if it is. Sounds great. Was listening in my phone actually. Great job.
I’m sorry to see a few BH members bugging out to the other site, gonna be missing this tune and the new updates Dennis has planned. Let’s keep the Bandhug Community together. Will need to post this on all recent collabs so we keep the vibe alive
Thank you for getting this together. Tough driving tune. Sounds great . I could practice this song for months. I’m glad I was invited to be part of it
I think this collab sounds great. The vocals might be louder, but there's been trouble publishing this very long song so I might just leave things as they are. What do you all think? In any case, congrats to everyone on pulling this challenging song together nicely. Give it a like so others hear it too.
I tried it once, but I couldn't hit Paul's chest voice at all and ended up using falsetto. I wasn't satisfied with it, so I hadn't uploaded it. Can you sing Paul's backing vocals in chest voice? If you can, I'll step down.
@yoshikoba: Sound pretty good to me, Yoshi. Paul's is so high, a-high high a high high.... I'm going to redo my poor vocals. Thank you.
@yoshikoba: Sound pretty good to me, Yoshi. Paul's is so high, a-high high a high high.... I'm going to redo my poor vocals. Thank you.
Guitars sound great, Yoshi. Thank you. I've been busy, but I'll add the bass track soon. I think I invited bdjasus on drums. It should sound terrific when we are done.
Also, I doubled the vocals and off-set one track to give the impression of reverb. This was often done with John's voice. What do you think?
@Gregorian: Sounds great! By the way, the guitar audio is flipped (left and right channels are swapped). If you publish it from the Studio screen instead of the DAW screen, it won't be reversed. Could you please publish it again from the Studio screen?
@yoshikoba: If I forget to publish from the Studio after other tracks are submitted, feel free to remind me. Thanks.
I never heard this version nor this band, but I was watching the movie matchbox on Apple and at the end of the movie for the credits they were playing this and I thought it would be perfect for you since it has some cool harmonies that you can add to it
Hey Joe, bass sent, I think it was the way you wanted, deep and attacking tone
Hey Joe, I just added vocals, there are three tracks, let me know what you think about these, I haven't added much harmonies yet, maybe one of the backing vocals should be re-done if you want me to try harmonies... And while I was re-listening to the final mix I sent, I heard that I forgot some backing vocals parts... Anyway, let me know !! And the mix I saved on DAW mode should be good with the sync I hope.
Hi Joe !! Thank you for the invite, I didn't know this song but I really like it ! :)
@MrCGuitarTab : Any idea where all that hissing is coming from..I listened to the tracks in the daw, and didn't hear any??
@taye6: I checked the individual sounds and they seem ok. I lowered the volumes a bit on each one as well as the backing track and did a remix. I can't hear a hiss here . Have another listen and let me know what you hear cheers Mike
Oh. There was a message that you declined my invitation. Happy to learn it was bogus :-)
@Michael Dixon: Mostly but I would re-do it. Absolutely no rush . Do you have the music or playing by ear? Thx for taking it on :-)
@stubass: I can read music but I mostly play by ear. I will listen to it again but probably not today.
yoshikoba very well done, excellent tracks. stubass, yes mandolins are tuned like violins, thanks for the infos, I'll have a closer look next week. :-)
Sent my guitar track over. It sounds like the original uses three guitars—centered, on the right, and on the left. I tried to match the tone of each one as closely as possible! Thanks so much for inviting me to such a wonderful song.
I must have missed this one while i was going through a tought time , wonderful collab and well done to everyone who took part. .
Gently executed with all the right dynamics by all that contributed. The timing is very clean as well. Off hand, Sammi Smith had a huge hit with this number in the early 70s.
Hi Taye6, dont know of a sax player in the talent pool. When I have had a sax in a tune I have filled it in with synth keys, guitar, and sometimes harmonica (but not many of those out there either). Hoping with Dennis opening up BH with a free trial of Premium Membership that some of that talent might join. So can wait and see too. Rick
Tayed6...Guitar left for you to take a listen to. Not exactly the same sound, but tried to get close with my acoustisonic. Use if it works. Send me an invite to. Saved a mix to balance the guitar. Thanks, Rick
After sending the tracks, I realized I went ahead and recorded the piano part as well. If someone else is already assigned to it, I'll delete my piano track.
@yoshikoba: Thank you so much Yoshi for your tracks, they are perfect, and sound great !!
@yoshikoba: Really appreciate that you added the piano as well.. I was hoping you would.
Hi taye6, I should be able to do that , go ahead and send an invite my way. Thanks, Rick
Just added the hammond track, again, just a temp mix but it seems like it fits and fills without getting too much in the mix. More to follow!
Yoshi - absolutely fantastic work on some very challenging guitar parts, wow, the tone, timing and riffs on each is just stellar - this is shaping up so nicely. Well done my friend. I did a temp mix and published. I'll work on the keyboards this week. Thank you for your time and talent - just amazing. More to come.
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!!
The Offspring came to my town last winter. Their show was a lot of fun. Funny songs with hard rock punk beats.
Drums? Finale. Hope U like. I think it rocks. Not too much cowbell. Do you feel free?
tracks for you jamesarc I managed to find the space to record.... 2 or 3 things... the first is that I forgot the final track and I had to redo one for the closing... tiredness plays bad jokes
the second is that we are slightly out of sync with the base track (about 60 milliseconds)
the third is don't forget when you post the song of the mix that i saved you
Wow, I forgot about this one! What a great jam! Fantastic job, Claude!
Felipe always a pleasure to hear from you. Bandhug is free through Jan 1st if you have any songs in mind?
Hi @all Claude added his fantastic vocals to finish our excellent collab and I published his mix please let me know if you guys are happy with the mix and I can mark it complete. And thank you all for joining me on, what I consider, another wonderful collab.
For the mix, it was just to place the vocals. I think it need more tweaking as everything is pan center and a bit muddy. I sent you another mix with more tweaking and it would be fine if someone else could send you other suggestions so you could compare. And I agree, it was a wonderful collab. Thanks for the invite.
Hi John, 2 vocals tracks for you. This song is a bit high for my limited voice but I did my best. You'll be the judge :)) I hope you'll like it.
Claude what a performance, and your best is absolutely worth the wait . As high as those notes go Man you really dealt with them so professionally. Thank you Claude for adding the final pieces to a class tune and thrilled with the vox !!!
@Bdajaysus: Thanks John for your good worlds! Happy to add another contribution to this excellent collaboration.
Hi! I’m sorry, I’m not that active in BH lately, but Yes! I wanna do this this week :)
Better late than ever! I tried to emulate Tony Levin's bass tone on this. Great underrated track! Hope you like it :) Great job everybody!
@guizubao: Man what an excellent bass track, thank you very much guizubao !!!
@Bdajaysus: Thank you very much, my friend. My apologies for the late response. I’m happy you liked it!
@Claude : Thank you very much Claude! You did an amazing job too! :)
Focus is a Dutch prog rock band, best known from the 1970s for its instrumental music, a combination of influences from classical, rock, and jazz. The most important members from that era were Thijs van Leer and Jan Akkerman.
Well I'm glad I waited to record my bass for you & I see you deleted my message you giving the OKAY to recoed my bass track for you If wanted some one eles on bass & that's cool it would have been nice of to let me know you had anyother bass player in mind rock on bro \m/ & I bet you well delet this message to
@Delwin nice try but to much .....Think you have to play with the backing track only . Please have an other try....
I researched and listened to this song thoroughly and did ALL of my parts over. The only thing I think I left out was Carol Kaye’s rhythm guitar, which isn’t that noticeable. Special thanks to Anthony (revup67) who also did a ton of work on this song, Billbassdude for nailing the electric and acoustic bass parts right off the original recording, and, of course joeyman1 and 1tricktony for their soaring vocals.
Trimmed video on lead vocals to match audio. Was unable to change the name on the backing vocals video to 1tricktony. Marked complete and republished. Congratulations, everybody!
Looks Ok - it shows as 1tricktony. Guess you had figured out User needsd to be chosen vs. Backing Track. However it was Joey's videos where I suggested the trimming, not 1Trick Tony (his were fine). Joey's appear just a tad behind but not terribly noticeable.
I think I'll go ahead and mark it complete tomorrow if there's nothing else to do.
9-2-26 12 noon PST .. First, I am happy so say we stayed within the 10 track limit despite the fact that there are truly 22 tracks! Joey's videos at least on my end and at this moment appear our of sync (not the audio just the video). If anyone perceives this same issue then I can trim the track directly within bandhug and offset the negative values. This procedure normally works well, once in a rare while it doesn't but can be reverted.
Synced new faded lead vocals. Balanced volumes on lead and harmony vocals. Published again.
This is AI magic. I provided the base tune as you can see in the link in the description (my melody-riff). Then I tell AI what I want to hear basically. Genre, mood, Then it gives me a few iterations of the song. I go through several versions before I get something I like. Then I input lyrics and let Ai do the vocals and BV. Then I download and edit via audacity and apply my vocals.
@dennisski: Nice...I really like the song so was trying find it on YouTube. Nice creation !
@Rick : It will be on youtube once I publish. Probably within the next month. I am releasing my third album. Its a country album. Here is a preview of the songs if you are interested. Would love to hear your thoughts. https://drive.google.com/drive..../folders/1u65OmsXtuH
@dennisski: Dennis...wow, that sounds like a collection of Country Hits...liked your choices in the intrumentation and vocals are remarkable. I guess we are in an era where music creation is changing. I have some very good friends that are "top talent" in AI development and they tell me its way to late to push back or place "gaurdrails" on it, so embrace it and to find ways AI can bring new value to what you do. Seems you have done that. I look forward to the release of your songs...maybe add some actual guitar if you publish a few on BH !
@Rick : I just started a website called deadsongwritersociety.com. I want to help people that have a loved one that passed away and never got to finish or do anything with music or lyrics they created. You know my father wrote some songs and he would talk about how he once had a song that someone published back in the 50s. But he never got to finish alot of his other songs. I know when talking to people at funerals or memorials that is something that is meaningful to people. Getting a legacy created for the ones that are no longer here. I am not doing this to make money, On the contrary it be a kind of thing I would do from the heart for someone. Seeing the reactions to hearing a song by a loved one come alive. Using AI to make that happen would be an honor. There was a girl on bandhub that passed away the year before it closed. She would do originals. To me the last one she worked on (just named original) was never finished. I feel that it was a loss not only by her passing, but a loss from what people might get from listening to it. Something that slips through as people pass away. Anyways the idea has good intention.
@dennisski: Hey...has worked for Randy Travis and John Lennon, bringing their voices alive. Best in your endevor and thanks for sharing what your up to. I'll check in every once and i will to see how its working out. Also, after 55 years of playing rock and blues and standing in front of amps on stage and have tinitus as well, very irritating to deal with, so can relate. Best
Thank you. Bandhug allows me to be the age my wife often accuses me of being, 14.
O.K. Sir dennisski == I would like to participate in this Collaboration... Thank yo¨for your consideration.
O.K. New Drums sent . This is a Mulligan request. The new Drum track is way better...
