Looks Like We Made it (Barry Manilow) (Completed)

    Published on 13 May 2022 / In Easy Listening/Light Rock/Bubblegum / Easy

    The song was first released in 1976 on his album This One's For You, and was issued as a single in 1977 where it reached the number one spot on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. It is ranked as the 37th greatest U.S. hit of 1977. It became his third of five gold records.

    Despite the optimism suggested by the song's title, the narrator is actually ruminating on the fact that he and his ex-lover have finally found happiness and fulfillment—though not with each other. They have, indeed, "made it," but apart, not together, songwriter Will Jennings commented.

    This is what I mean, if you click on Play here:
    https://bandhug.com/watch/BAat....FYvbaynWd3T&rl=4
    And click on the right bottom corner icon to make it full screen, you'll see the video doesn't reach the side borders.
    Can you see that?
    That's because it was render to aspect radio 4:3 last time you published it, because the Backing track is 4:3, where it looks more like a square than a rectangle.
    I can explain you how to avoid that, and publish the video 16:9 (wide screen)

    Stubass, It's been a year, but I have a suggestion. Originally, all our tracks were uploaded using aspect ratio of 16:9 (widescreen), but the back track video is 4:3. Because of that, all our videos are reformatted to 4:3, almost like a square, and it looks really bad. Since the collab is completed, you should remove the old 4:3 backtrack or at least change its position, so it is not the the first track, if you republish the collab, the system will use 16:9 (widescreen) when rendering the new version. You'll see, the final video will look much better, real widescreen.

    @admin_d: Oboes have about a 2 1⁄2 octave range, this might have increased at least to 4 octave ;-)

    @Megasis : haha! fixed! I also went around and fixed everyone's negative sync's causing audio/video to be out of sync. I hope you like it.

    I synced and did the general volumes of everything. It seems to me that this is much better. In my DAW. If you can publish this version. Try to feel.

    This is how I reviewed my Piano track: I went to the DAW, I clicked SOLO to the Backing Track, set the volume to 70%,
    then I clicked SOLO to my Piano track, setting the volume to 50%, so they are more or less the same volume and finally clicked PLAY.
    From what I listened, my track is pretty much in good Sync.

    Beyond the parts, the problem is that the various instruments should be better synchronized because it seems a bit out of time. Excuse me that's what I feel.

    stubass, I've been away from BandHug for a while, my computer stopped working, and it took me quite some time to fix it. I will record the Piano track first for this collab , then I will record the Flute solo in Toto's Africa, the solo is the most complicated of the two.

    I should redo the first bit at least as it carries on a bit. Also maybe there is a horn at about 2:20 - 2:33
