There is a signature guitar "picking" riff on this one. That 12/8 E Guitar Picking riff. Our "Dreamy Electric Background" RT will work for the "background rhythm." But, we will need an axe man for the "picking" part, IMO. The song should be fairly easy to layout in Biab. Just need that signature riff for the verses.

Or perhaps: How about something like this for "Contest Rules" -

Song Length - 32 bars - not including intro or ending
Intro - 4 bars max
Ending - 4 bars max
Song must be original (no copyrigthed melodies),
Song must startout in BIAB (provide BIAB file with submission)

Other then that, no restrictions on DAW, mix, effects, RTs, RD, Styles, Tempo, Key.... Add vocals if you got em or any track recording.
We would be looking for the best use of PGMusic tools that results in a finished piece.

I'm sure the PGMusic folks would be glad to put up a Ketron SD2 (or Not)

John,

Here is a rough vocal demo I recorded to an online backing track. It is a recording of a recording, LOL It is rough, I don't know the song by heart (yet). But, I will if you want me to sing a part. Up to you, no worries.

I take it you are wanting to do an online collaboration with this song?

If so, lets see who else is interested in helping out. I know Mike has also volunteered to sing on it. Lets get a few others to help out with vocals or instruments, if there is an interest?

You are in charge brother. Tell us what you want . . .

I'm with you on the idea. John, and would gladly contribute vocals but...

My own flat (which contains my home studio) is currently in a state of total chaos and being re-designed in terms of use of the space within. At present, there is very little I can actually do there and the place horrifies me to even stay there. So, much though I would love to contribute, I think it will be impossible. The Spirit is with you though - all the way.

GO FOR IT!!!

I really like this idea, as we could use it for lots of things, from comparing sounds of different synths to panning and mixing and whatever, and it also should avoid any copyright confusion. We could add our own melody, as long as we're willing to release it to the group effort.

So---+1 for a group effort on one song, whatever it is.

Later,
Jim

John,

Here is a Biab file of Everybody Hurts. Check the memo box for which RT's I used for this one. There is NO melody in it. You can load it in RB and add your vocal track, if you want to.
