I'm using an online service (I'm not affiliated with it in any way): https://www.lalal.ai/ It costs money, although not much really considering the quality of the results. You have to have a reasonable quality original to start with but I've been amazed at just how much information it's been able to dig out of mine.

You're right, I'll give that a tweak. I remember him. Thank you π

Delightfully avant-garde as always Jack. Many moulds broken yet again. I really can't fault any of this, well done.
-
Great guitar sound. I think it clashes with the vocal in places though. Choose your moments π
-
I agree. Get that sorted and you're onto a winner π
-
Some very nice vocals and guitar on this, well done. I found the percussion a little intrusive and repetitive but that's a personal preference I guess.

The "room" I've been playing in of late is marked "Stem Separation" - the ability to isolate instruments and voices from a mono recording. This is the earliest/oldest one I've been able to process in that way. The original recording dates from 48 years ago. It comprised me singing and playing drums simultaneously whilst my friend (who wrote the tune) played the rhythm guitar. What I've been able to do is to separate all three elements of the recording and use them in the CbB DAW. For the guitar, I combined the two halves of the song and panned each one left/right. For the drums, I was able to sample the snare and bass drums and use the samples in a Superior Drummer 3 kit. I could have used a built-in kit but I wanted to retain some 70s authenticity (maybe I should have lit some candles and turned off the electricity too π) whilst keeping the tempo consistent. I then added some other bits and bobs and this is the result. I should warn you that the lyrics are ridiculously naΓ―ve and overly "flower power", with a couple of phrases stolen from John Lennon, but I've always wanted to "finish" the song and I think I have now. Didn't take long did it? https://www.bandlab.com/revisions/9749ca7a-c6ba-ee11-b660-000d3a428b97?sharedKey=HjJ-syGph0SZ7u0FN9Tscw EDIT: I've improved the bass as suggested and added tambourine for good measure. I've also hosted it on Bandcamp because I've mastered it myself and didn't want Bandlab to master it again in order to host it there: https://keithwilby.bandcamp.com/track/sweet-scented-rosie

That makes it all the more impressive.

I always know that your stuff is going to be a bit off the wall and avant garde and this doesn't disappoint. Overall an enjoyable listen, although I noticed a few timing issues here and there but that might well be intentional. Good voice. A cross between David Byrne, Michael Stipe and Neil Hannon to my ears π
-
This genre really isn't my cup of tea at all but I can appreciate the skill that went into the production. Well done.

It's a damned sight better than the Xmas song I once tried to write π€£ Only critiques I have are that I find the intro a bit uninviting, if that makes sense, and I find the mastering a tad harsh, but otherwise, great job π
-
A lot more guitar on this now. To recap, my late friend Rob Rigby wrote this and takes the lead vocal which I have salvaged from an old recording from the 1980s. Hope you like it, I think it's quite catchy. https://www.bandlab.com/post/59f0b6f9-589a-ee11-8926-000d3a41ef61

Hi Terry, I have a couple of observations. I think some of the drum fills are too complex, and I also wonder how the vocals would sound if you softened your voice a little. By that I mean soften it naturally as you sing, it just sounds a tad harsh to me for the subject matter. Just my 2p worth π
