"December" is a song by American alternative rock band Collective Soul, released on the band's 1995 eponymous album. Written by singer/guitarist Ed Roland, it peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Album Rock Tracks chart for nine weeks, surpassing their prior hit "Shine" by one week; it also reached number two on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it their highest-ranking single on that particular listing. In Canada the song settled at number two on the RPM Top Singles chart, becoming their highest-charting single until "The World I Know" attained the top spot in March 1996.

Added the last track. And while there's a single bum note, I don't care. ;) Also because I realized it might be easier for you to synchronize by starting the recording at the very beginning, that's what I did. This way it avoids sync issues later.

OK, I filled in the gaps of the oohs I skipped before, plus the "...spit me out" parts. Finally, I added more strings to round it out. That should be everything.

They sound GREAT Mr. Greg! I very much appreciate your hard work in this collaboration! This collaboration is COMPLETE! Thank to @bbrian: , @thx1138: , @1983Electric: , and @gchance: for your wonderful contributions to this collaboration! Now it's time to sync up all the vocals.

The backing track is on the strings, Mr. Greg.

@Twelvepitch: I noticed the same thing, apparently neither of us listened until after you said thanks. :) I just removed it, redoing. It's a short bit anyway.

To shed a little light on why this happens... I have everything going through Reason. When I practice, or with the band, that's fine, my output goes to the mains. But when recording here, it picks up everything going through my audio card which includes the backing track from Bandhug. Bandhub had a feature that allowed me to select which audio device the backing track went to, but Bandhug doesn't have that feature. The night I was working it out, my workaround was to use earbuds through the laptop audio, tucked underneath my headphones from my Focusrite. Sometimes I forget to switch browser audio to the earbuds first before recording, hence the backing track being recorded too. D'oh!

@Twelvepitch: Could you add the backing track back? Thanks!
