You got some of the good ones from Bandlab there.  Nice work.  I like how that guitar comes in at the end and mixes in with the synth.  Good work by all!

Thanks Steve from all of us, means a lot!

Terrific job on this, Ross!  You've taken possession of this song and made it your own.  Take a bow.

You should be proud of this one.

Wow Gary, thanks so much from all of us for listening and for the kind encouragement

Really great collaboration, fabulous job by all @daryl1968 @Lynn Wilson @Bapu and Hugo!!

Cool tune Wookie, nicely performed and produced. Bit of a Floydian feel to it.

Great work here, nice composition, performance, and production

Congrats Nigel, well-deserved accomplishment!!!

Hey Gary, lots of good vibes triggered here! Haven't heard this song in a long time, really great job on it! Nice performance and production

Woah! Great song to cover and a great cover of the song! Pretty solid mix - I hear everything! Busy and interesting but in a great way! Super voice to do the piece too! Not much I could suggest to change at all! A mix (especially mine) could always be better, but I've spent years not getting one project finished due to lack of objectivity. That's my problem. I'd not touch this unless it's going to a pro studio/producer for eval. Just splendid! Congrats! 

Hey Martin, sincere thanks for the listen and kind encouragement! I have really been enjoying doing more collaboration lately. Definitely a challenge though mixing parts that were tracked in a variety of ways and means. So glad if everything was clear and balanced!

What started as my keyboard/vocal cover has evolved into this full band reproduction of this classic song! Amazing additions by my friends over on Bandlab... Fabian Bono (@fabass2020) on bass, Ross Manariti (@ross_man) on guitar, and Craig Clontz (@craigclontz) on drums. I recorded my parts in Cakewalk, they posted their stuff through BandLab, and I brought it into CW to mix and master. Enjoy!

real nice tones.jack c

Thanks Jack!

Had loads of fun putting this together! Outside of my usual lane, but I'm enjoying experimenting with new sonic ideas.

Smooth, jazzy vibe, really like it. Well produced and performed!

Bravo, great collab!! ??

Not really my thing, but this cover is really well done! Great guitar work, and the vocs are killer!

Nice work Bjorn! A bit different than I'm used to hearing from you, but I like it. Nice relaxing laid back vibe.

Wonderful song, production, and performance here! Love the celtic/folk flavor and vibe. Great work!!

Nice work on this Jack! Cool tune, clear mix, vocs sound good!

Nicely done Steve! Cool tune, really nice arrangement and mix. Guitar work is top notch, and I do like the horn arrangement, just dittoing the others, work on the horn sound/tone a bit. Great work overall!!
