Mostly tracked now.
It's different - I'll say that about it.
Not sure it's any good though
Now to put it in the blender - I mean mixer!
Why do I always wait to the last minute!!

For fun, I started to make a playlist of these here: https://soundcloud.com/lutehill/sets/bond-themes-2020

Only 6 on it so far (@digger72 yours is not included as it's a private track). Let me know if I've missed any or got the wrong version.

In no particular order and just for a bit of convenience if anyone wants to listen to them back to back. Always room for more or replacements of course.

Hi Adam,

Are we sending the mixes for Boydie to master?
I can send a mix ready for mastering if we have a dropbox link or something.

Thanks,
Digger

[Paulski]

OK - rough mix now done.
Vocals are crap I know - but any other advice is welcome

A Cut Above

I've seen love take it slow
I've seen love do-si-do
I've seen love fade away
I've seen love outstay its stay
I've seen love work a charm
I've seen love doing harm
I've seen love make me sad
I've seen love make me glad

But our love is a cut above.

Hi Adam,

I think you should be able to download now.

Thanks,
Digger

Sorry... didn't know where else to put this....

There's a band i love called Q The Music and they are a James Bond covers band. They are awesome.

They wrote their own 'No Time To Die' theme and it's pretty damn good. Enjoy.

Oh yeah. That's taking me back to Shirley Bassey...

Hey all agents, unless it gets pushed back again it's a little over 3 months now until the 007 film comes out so shall we try and get that album done before that?
I just checked in with Boydie and he is still generously offering to master it.  (Thanks Boydie).
Apparently a couple of us have sent him our tracks but most of us haven't yet (me included).
He needs the final mix as a stereo audio file in best quality (WAV is perfect) WITHOUT any mastering effects - eg compression, eq, limiting etc. on the master bus.
@PaulAds @adamfarr @pompeyjazz @Paulski @digger72 @Neil C @Wicked Deeds @LostBoy How about we all get @Boydie  our tracks within July?

[PaulAds]

Excellent 😀

How should we get the files over to @Boydie?

[pompeyjazz]

All done here 

[Boydie]

How should we get the files over to @Boydie?

@PaulAds - please use any hosting/cloud service where you can PM me a link to download the file

SOUNDCLOUD is fine (make sure you enable downloads in the settings for the track when you upload it) because even though the streamed version is lower quality the file I download will be exactly the same as the one you upload so I can get the good quality version

OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive etc. are also great options and have free accounts available

[PaulAds]

Cheers...i shall attend to said file transfer forthwith...

[PaulyX]

@PaulAds  @adamfarr @pompeyjazz @Paulski @digger72 @Neil C @Wicked Deeds @LostBoy
Hope you are all doing great.
@Boydie  has kindly offered to compile the Bond album as well as master it.    Please send him your files if you haven't already.
So my job is to...

1) Suggest an album title.  What about "Lots of Time to Die"  ...?  Somehow seemed appropriate.

2) Knock up some artwork for the cover.  I've put a first attempt as the image for my track on Soundcloud here:
https://soundcloud.com/commodore-64/no-time-to-die-to-all-things-a-season 
Is that alright?  It'll be easy to change the album title if you want something else.

3) Compile the credits.  Please PM me with however you want your track to be credited.  E.g. mine will be "To All Things a Season" by Paul Sands.

4) Finalise the running order.  Are we happy with the same running order as on Adam's playlist?  Works pretty well to my ears... maybe we should just bring one of @pompeyjazz 's tracks a little earlier though so you are not singing two in a row John.  We could make one of them track 2 between PaulAds and Adam?

@Neil C Your track is not on the playlist but my memory is convinced you wrote one... am I imagining that?!

Finally for now Adam had the good idea we try and collaborate and put some backing to Sterix's lyrics:
https://soundcloud.com/user-893393410/no-time-to-die/s-argKIkJXEJH
Anyone able to help with that?  @Sterix if you can send me a file of the vocal demo I can at least try and get it laid out with a tempo etc so the others can add to it.  Certainly sounded like it had great potential and the lyrics were cool.

Cheers guys.

@PaulyX , yes good idea on the title, but if you are playing about with the title of the film the following just floated into my head...

No 4/4 Time To Die

..you all being songwriters an’ all. Just a thought, and sorry if I should have kept it to myself! 

[adamfarr]

Times to die?
