    "Call Me" was composed by Italian disco producer Giorgio Moroder as the main theme song of the 1980 film American Gigolo. It is played in the key of D minor with a tempo of 143 beats per minute with Debbie Harry's vocals ranging from C4 to E5. Moroder originally asked Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac to perform a song for the soundtrack, but she was prevented because of a recently signed contract with Modern Records. Moroder turned to Debbie Harry of Blondie, presenting Harry with an instrumental track called "Man Machine". Harry was asked to write the lyrics, a process that Harry states took a mere few hours. The lyrics were written from the perspective of the main character in the film, a male prostitute.

    Stu just jumping in to see if I can offer an idea. have you checked your Audio Device when getting ready to record to BandHug? That's usually the issue..done this myself as BandHug doesn't always default to the proper Audio Device when recording to BandHug. Sounds like you have a Live Mic such as your WebCam selected instead of your Audio Input Device for your bass.

    @stubass: that's hard to say..there's too many possiblities. Maybe a MUTE button was hit or the volume level was changed or you may be on the wrong audio device.
