"Collabs must be started 3-29-2024 or after and completed by 11:59 PM 5-31-2024"

@CopyCat : Also not in the title, as required. That why I asked - just to be sure

CyberBass - Of course, now that uploads are allowed, he could probably start a new collab for the contest, and use these tracks to get it started, and then delete this collab . Worth a try.

There's a contest? What are we contesting?

@Bob : lol - The contest entries must be in by end of May, so I didn't want to leave this one to last - but I suspect it is not for the contest.

thanks man, it's not for the contest, prioritize however you like no worries

I forgot synch+mix suggestion sent.

@Michmuch: sounds good to me man! I'm always down for a little improv, doesn't have to be note-for-note, I like the personality it adds.

@Michmuch: oh yeah this works for sure Mich thank you so much

@Jon Darren: Thanks a lot, glad you like it :-)

Hi Tes. Where you been bro?

@Bob : I've been taking a break. Too many fires in too many pots. I'll be retiring in a couple of months and will have more time for playing music after that. Miss you guys. It's great to see my old BH mates together here rockin. I love the Stones. Hearing you guys and Jon kinda inspired me and I just wanted to reach out to give my support. .

It's great to hear from you.

@teslarian: good seeing you my brother! We should do one!

And the piano track if you like.

love the organ+string addition, thank you so much man. Now, the piano part you played great , but it has a very synthesized piano sound, is it possible to get something a little more acoustic sounding?

also there's a rhodes part on top of it. I believe it was Mick playing piano and Billy Preston doing the rhodes. It has this really sweet effect layered though. Let me know your thoughts.

@Jon Darren: Thanks! Well I used a classic upright piano sample of my Nord Stage 4 (the Grotrian Steinweg 132 Upright), and broadened it a bit to "untune" it slightly. If you can tell me what piano originally was used in the song, then I could try to find that sound. I checked several sounds of my library and thought one of the uprights fitted best.

@Jon Darren: Yes, it's a Fender Rhodes with some phaser effect. I already tweaked a bit around and also learned the pattern/lick that he uses throughout the song-

@Nordlicht: ya I'm with you, upright would be the right feel, ok let's try it. Wasn't sure if you were doing the rhodes part, thanks brother!

@Jon Darren: Thanks! I think in the mix it will blend well. It’s not that dominant as the Rhodes and could be a bit lowered in volume. I’ll do the Rhodes probably tomorrow.

@Jon Darren: Rhodes track sent!

@Nordlicht: sounding good man, published

@Jon Darren: Thanks!

Nordlicht - Yes, tracks can be swapped. Try it now, it should work.

@CopyCat : Oh wow, thanks! How did you do this? In DAW mode?

@Nordlicht: On the main Studio page, if you click on the "wrench" icon, and then choose "Edit Info", there you can check the "BT" box to make that track a BT. It was set on "User" before, that's why the "BT Only" selection didn't work for you. Now it is a BT, so now it works.

@CopyCat : Cool, thank a lot for this advice! Learning everyday something new :D

@CopyCat : appreciate you brother

@Jon Darren: Happy to help out
