    Such a smooth tune guys, well done! And the mix is excellent and nobody is stepping on anyone’s toes! Love it.

    cbgb and marjolein Thank you both for pointing out the flaws in my mix. I admit I rushed my first published version. I really appreciate you both pointing out areas where the collab could be improved and I think the collab sounds a LOT better now, thanks to you two. Please do continue to contribute with your ears for a mix in any future collabs (or past) as sometimes mine get clumsy for many reasons. I am super grateful to you both. Thanks!!!

    I feel really good about this one thanks to you. I had never heard it before. It has such a cool groove and vibe with all the musicians in their own zones but still completely in a pocket. This would have been really difficult to cover without your all of you being in the right place at the right time. I'm probably the weakest link here but I wouldn't hesitate for a second to play somewhere live with all of you.

    Hi Dan.Here's what I came up with. DAW for you in cbgb Setting. Dan 10.941, Marj .099 (unchanged); cbgb .061, Gino .061, Marv .064. As I suspected, drums and Marv ended up changing the most. But trust your ear not mine. I could be wrong but I think this sounds better.

    @Gino Caron: haha. No way. All I did was put my face 2" from the computer screen and line up our waveforms. Good thing I'm super nearsighted.

    @Bob : well, you did a great job! and I don't always play on time lol most of the time I play without headphones with my monitors on. I need a longer cord for my headphones I feel stuck when I use them! and I don't trust bluetooth for recording.

    @Gino Caron: I don't trust Bluetooth, either. Everything I have is plugged in, except I'm wireless to the modem.

    Hi Dan. I think the sync might have drifted a little on this song. I was checking my notes and I see that I had you set at 10.939, and Gino at -.056. You're still in the right place but Gino's time is changed. And the lead sounds like it's pushing on my end. Either that, or the drums may need a new adjustment from -.073 to something else. I've been experiencing this a lot lately, so maybe it's just me being away for so long. I'm not sure it was Marjolein who was off sync. It seems to me that a big sync issue in one track is easy to isolate, but a really minor one makes them all sound off. Anyway, if you unlock, I can play with it in DAW. Up to you my friend.

    cbgb Hi Bob. Collab is now unlocked. Go ahead with any changes you wish :) :) Please note, Gino's and Marv's original syncs that you had noted down are most likely not accurate anymore because I worked on their tracks offline (panning) and uploaded new versions of them and this, in itself, changes the sync timing, so I would recommend that you should forget about any saved DAW settings you may have and work with what is there now. Cheers.
