Stu...another exceptional production and appreciate being included with this amazing talent. Brandon and Heather make it a cut above as you called out. As a fellow guitar player, Brandons work on this is spectacular ...got to be one of the most iconic leads recorded in BH !
N3R0 Gevonovich Grant PeteH SixStringRick: Super collab, everyone but I must single out Brandon and Hether for their spectaular work! Thank you, everyone!!
Hi my musical friends. I've made an video of this great collab. You can find it on my yt page : https://youtu.be/gxsoK68ngi8?is=JnHOXYCK9tkfr2h5
Thank you all
Hi ladies and gentlemen, @thx1138: , @ftFonz : , @camillesobud: , @Guilherme von Zuben Ricetto: , @YvesC: , @Pete Hanratty: , thank you so much for your precious contribution amazing work sounds great, this collab is complete, thanks again friends. ;-)
Hi Sammy, sorry for the huge delay. I re-recorded the percussion track. This one is a bit tighter, in my opinion. I had promised to add a jembe track, but unfortunately the skin is torn. Needs to be repaired, that's why I redid the percussion track via my drum kit elektronich. It's up to you to choose which track appeals to you the most.
Piano re-sent and synced, mixed for your approval. Nice sounding collab! Thanks for inviting me.
Hi Pete, excellent track, you did a great job! I love it. I've published your mix, thanks for joining us.
Super easy for the bass if only I could get to grips with what he does in the end section!! Anyhoo - bass part submitted - if listening in the DAW the volume's OK, if in the Studio it's frighteningly loud and needs turning down..
Sounds killer dude, great work! That always sounded like such a tricky bass riff in the verse, happy to hear it didn't give you any problems!
Hey guys, this is a re-recorded version that's in 440 tuning, which should make it a lot easier for keys and bass!
Vocals are great ABB. You are the shoe that fits for these grooves Greg. Great job
Coming in with the final track, Joe takes this one up a notch with soaring guitar work. The collab is now mixed as close to original as I could get. Fade out worked better than I'd hoped for. Give it a listen with the head cans on. Thanks to all participants for their great tracks, culminating in a standout collab. Give yourselves a pat on the back; and give this cover a like if you haven't already.
Hi Stubass everyone sounds amazing here is a drum track that I hope fits in ok,
@stubass: Hi Stu, I have adjusted my time a 0.258 as I was a bit behind, I will adjust my snare reverb tonight as well, its a bit dry as is.
Hi stu I feel that PeteH’s volume works best around 40% to 50%, rather than full.
Added my parts MP3 for now, just for a rough idea of what I want the final mix to be. Let me know your honest opinion. Twelve tracks in all. I don't think I can separate them easily. I need to figure out what to show on the video, maybe me just conducting the orchestra, haha.
@yoshikoba: I raised those two sections and compressed the whole track a little. Now if I fix the end, I'll be happy. Thanks for the input.
Hey Daniel...I added an electric track that might fill-in while a "real" slide guitarist steps up. Use if it might work ! You also listed Mandolin...I can play some basic mandolin, but had a hard time hearing it in the BT? This song has really taken off in the US and the collab is starting to sound pretty good. Do you think camillesobud might be interested in adding some backing vocals?
Hey Dan, thank you for the invite, I'll be happy to join for the vocals ! Cool song, and nice tracks everyone ! Sounds super good !
@Daniel Ramos (@dan00075): Here is a track, I synchronized and sent you a mix from DAW mode. :) Let me know if it sounds good.
@camillesobud: Beautiful rendition Camille! Well done! I feel the sync was a little too late, so I have moved it to 0.010. Please let me know if you do not agree with this. Also, would you mind if I try some reverb on your vocals?
@Daniel Ramos (@dan00075): Yes sure, you can add some reverb ! Good for the sync, it sounds good to me !
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
SixStringRick Rick, thank you for the fine guitar tracks. I turned the second track a little louder. I hope you don't mind. They should great and thank you for putting the effort into this. Cheers.
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
manonamission Perfect! Thanks Ray, and good to play together again. Cheers.
@Daniel Ramos (@dan00075): thank you.. it's been a while! Good luck with this one
Vocals: If you want an instruments-only backing track, just let me know. Same for anyone else. Just ask.
DIESEL88 Hey friend, I'm sending you the harmonica track of this raspy but genuine singer. Let me know if there are any details.
Thanks joeykaraoke. This tune rocks. Drum track sent. if you want to repeal &replace. let me know. Good jam.
Hi stu Uploading track for a few different instruments. Kept the volume levels as they are. Let me know if we need any other instruments. Fingers crossed we find a good vocalist!
Hi stu;Thanks so much for inviting me to play various instruments. I'd be happy to join, but since I'm working on a few other collabs right now, I'll need plenty of time to go through them slowly. Does that work for you?
Added the piano track..And changed your sync time -02.389 →-0.2.433 I hope you like it..
Thanks, Stu. First take. I wasn't sure it was a keeper. I think I had a phantom power swtch on that should have been off. Drum tone is nice but there is bg noise.
I can wait. It's funny. I wasn't a big ELO fan growing up, but I enjoyed playing this song and another one I did for Felkeys. This one has a very nice drum groove that was easy to get into.
As nominal producer and organizer, I congratulate all of you on this very nice number. Now congratulate yourselves and give it a like if you haven't already.
5-31-26 - Remix completed, thanks for the opportunity Greg.
Acoustic guitar was lost in the prior mix, now clearly heard. Background vocals separated vs. all dead center in prior mix. All tracks nicely balanced. Bill's piano playing is simply exquisite..plus the sound he achieved was just like the original recording. Carlos slide playing was also brought forward in the mix as it was buried before. All players on this Collab deserve a congratulatory mention.
@Gregorian: had to redo this agin, bass was slightly off..should sound better now. PS you may want to write to Dennis to get Bill's vocal track up higher in the tiles though up to you. There's a way to do this and it takes a little while.
Nice work with the mix indeed, and I agree Bill's vocals deserve to be a bit louder (and maybe the BV can be a bit lower, I feel like we mainly hear the harmonies and not his lead, and the harmonies and backing vocals are meant to be just in the background...)
@camillesobud: his volume is on Max..I'll see what I can do..I agree. But also the tile arrangment he should be centered.
@camillesobud: Boosted his vocals by 1db across the board with the BandHug EQ. Helped a bit. I think the reverb is drenching his vocal track and placing it too far in the background. Needs have a drier sound. Unfortuantely I cannot boost his vocals any higher as it's just begun digitally clip. You can see the spikes in DAW mode.
I'm seeing a lot of activity on this collab when I thought we were done. In any case, Tony, should I take it that you are still looking after things?
@Gregorian: Bill and I spoke and he redid his vocal line as we discussed previously (or maybe that was camille?). If youre good with it, please publish and then lock the collab. It's a winner. Camille's backups were impressive.
@Gregorian: Bill added his vocals and had some suggestions..I went ahead with his recommendations and included those in a fresh mix and published..we're good as of 6-12-26 11a.m. It seems we are all done. Please advise.
Camille's lovely BVs were just what this one needed. Great job, tout le monde. Don't forget to give this one a like. It deserves it.
Hey, I recorded two BV tracks, I saved a mix on DAW mode where I re-synchronized them (at -00:00.090) and volume of them is 90% so we mostly hear the lead. Let me know Gregorian if you can apply the mix I just sent ! :) And congrats guys, this sounds really good, and OMG Bill you're a singer too !!! Love your vocals (and of course the others instruments as always). Carlosred, Anthony, Gregorian, well done too !! :) Happy to join !!
@camillesobud: fabulous work Camille...nice touches on the Background Vocals.
I'm afraid Yoshi has backed out of this one. If anyone knows someone who might take over BV duties, please reach out to him or her. Thanks.
6-12-26 - final adjustments made (thanks Rick), Published, marked Completed and Locked. Great work everyone!
6-11-26 - I think this beast is done. Added another cello part (thanks Bill) and did a few other updates including the mix and truncated the strings on the last bar. Thanks to Bill for redoing his harpsichord. Comments anyone?
6-10-26 - Both Cello (Legato and Staccato Parts completed at the bridge. Strings and Mellotron completed also, however I'll have to go back and drop the volume on the opening string section (ignore first section of strings volume for now)..getting to the end!
5-16-26 - Reworked entire mix, fixed timing issues on certain tracks and added more sparkle.
Hi All - Thanks to Rick for adding his 12 string acoustic guitar today..it's got such a buoyant feel vs. a Six String (Rick!)..Good idea, thanks. Drums were also added today and a complete strip down on the previous mix, track by track. it's coming together..thanks everyone..more to follow with a string section..coming soon. Open to any critiques.
Interesting track with the 12 strings guitar, I didn't even know these guitars even existed ! The sound is super good, you did a super job here Rick ! But I noticed the BT was still there on the background of Rick's track...? And once again, the drums are incredible Anthony, I'm always amazed by how you manage to follow the changes from a section to another... It seems super tricky to me when I see you playing them ! This sounds super good so far to me !! :) Great team again we have here !
Looks like you were enjoying yourself, brother. Sou ding sweet. Looks like I have everyone lined up and it will be done soon. Thanks.
We are leaving a light on for thx1138 to help us wrap this one up! What do you say, Frank?
dan00075 - I say that this is a great sounding collab and I am honoured to join ! Thanks for the invite !
Hey ! Here are my tracks (lead and backing vocals), I saved a mix on DAW mode again, slight delay to adjust. Hope it fits ! :) And well done everyone with the instruments, was really appreciated while recording and sounding really good !! :D
camillesobud Hi Camille! Wonderful job with the vocals! I took the liberty to add some effects. Of course, if you do not agree with the effects, please let me know and I will replace them with your original tracks. Thank you so much!
Made an attempt @dan00075 if it needs changing or redoing do let me know. More of an effort to record without original bt I find, just my preference
Thanks Bdajaysus , sorry about the BT. I could have easily swapped it, had I known. It is difficult to please everyone. Singers want instrumental BT's in general. I also prefer the original BT. I will try to be more transparent about making either BT available in future. Thanks for the track. It sounds great.
@Daniel Ramos (@dan00075): Understandable for singers , is it one or 2 singers lined up for this ? I will have a listen later on and if it's not as tight as I'd like I can redo That's never a problem or if you need any changes just ask
Lead is there ! :D I didn't have time to record the backing vocals tonight, will try to do them next week. :) Let me know how it sounds to you. I think it's synchronized.
I just listened to your bass line, well done !! :) I'll try to record next week, need a few days to learn the song and practice. :)
@camillesobud: Take your time, never a rush. But don't forget Skyfall! :-)
@stubass: Yes I'm on it too, practicing all the songs I have on my To-Do list, will probably record both the same day. :)
@stubass: hi ! Yes sure, still working on it, have been through busy days lately... Won't be as quick as before !
billbassdude - Hey Bill ! This is for sure among the most iconic bass lines in the History of Rock music ! You nailed it pal ! Awesome work ! Appreciate you taking the time to record and submit with your busy schedule ! Thanks a bunch man…Hope you were not under any pressure ? LOL ! Temp mix for now. Nice snaps at the end ! LOL !
Thanks!! So much fun - kind of a happy discovery how it was played. Besides your awesome guitar work, finger snaps and claps, I like your keyboard work too - look at you go!! Very well done on so many levels and layers. Shaping up nicely
Revup67 - Thanks for the reply Anthony. Now that I know your Queen-Scope you better watch out for an invite to 'Stone Cold Crazy' in the near future ! HAHA !
Revup67 billbassdude - Hey Dynamic Duo ! Any chance of joining me please on this one...?
thanks a lot for the invite Frank..not a fan beyond Queen Sheer Heart Attack (3rd LP)..all the best!
Frank, I would love to do it, but I will be out of town and off BH until late July. If you want to wait, I would be happy to do it. I always looked at this song more as a Bowie fan.

Hi, Mike.. I'm trying to do some bv's tracks. It's really difficult for me. I fix the time to start up, and some times the tracks started at the begining (I don't know why). Some times appears latency, not always (I don't know why), and If I dont subcribe the tracks speacially bv's sound very bad because absense of resonance. I adjusted in the dow pan and volume and sent it. I'll try to finish the remaninder tracks.
Hi Mike, I sent four tracks, but it's impossible to review because of latency. I have several tracks remainig please, let me know if it´s goin on. Thank you
Hi, mike I just recorded a test with the principal vocals (only a test, ) I'll do choirs also in another tracks, but please let me know if it's the way. I don't know if the sound is correct, etc. etc. Thanks a lot for the invitation
Hi Mike the bass is done
