GoF Singing Project reloaded?

I'm probably going to do a vocal cover of 'If We Hold On Together' in the near future, just need to find a good instrumental track for the background.

I made an instrumental arrangement of If We Hold On Together about 10 years ago (so the virtual instrument tech isn't quite up to par but I don't think it's awful). It's completely different from the original song but you're welcome to use it if you wish.

It can be downloaded here:

Thanks Tim.

I'll be honest, it still sounds very good after so long.

I'm glad you enjoyed it

I'm glad it's still seeing some use after all these years. I originally wrote that arrangement for one of our Gang of Five karaoke projects. There's a version of that music with a large number of GoF members singing the full lyrics to the song, including myself. In an effort to deal with the fact that everyone was recording on a different mic, I drowned the vocal parts in noise reduction and reverb and in hindsight probably over-processed the crap out of it, but that's okay. The alternative was pretty rough, too, so I made a call and ran with it.

At least for myself though, I use the term "singing" quite loosely. Singing was never exactly a strong skill of mine.

I still have that version posted up online if you're curious:

At 1:28 in this vocal version, you can hear myself, tobeysan and Amethyst singing the second verse and second chorus. This was especially memorable for me because the 3 of us are friends in real life and we actually got together in tobeysan's basement, rigged up some audio equipment and recorded all 3 parts together, simultaneously on 2 computers and 3 microphones (panning 1 mic left and 1 mic right to capture both vocal parts independently).

I have an outtake recording of Tobeysan trying to sing the song for the first time and not knowing the lyrics.

Ah, good times!

Actually, lemme find that because it's funny....

[EDIT] HA! Here we go!

So is this still happening? I finally have enough self-esteem to add my voice to the mix. We could even do a LBT 14 song to keep with the times.

Things keep getting in the way, preventing me from making much progress on the song.

I'll have my last exam for a while tomorrow, I hope I'll have more time in the next few weeks so I can finally finish adventuring...

I'm very open about trying a LBT 14 song if everybody agrees to that

Hey Ducky!

Any luck on this?

ADFan185 · **Reply #67 on:** February 06, 2017, 05:07:29 PM

Looks like people are busy with there life's and abandoned this.

action9000 · **Reply #68 on:** February 06, 2017, 05:15:13 PM

Yeah, that'll happen. These projects are a lot of tedious work and it's not for everyone.

Hey Ducky!

Any luck on this?

Whenever I want to actually sit down and do this, something else comes up and I forget about it again

I should have enough time to pull it off this spring, it's just a matter of doing it... just keep pestering me guys, really, do!

ADFan185 · **Reply #70 on:** February 06, 2017, 06:04:35 PM

Okay I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing this

action9000 · **Reply #71 on:** March 14, 2017, 04:03:04 AM

I may make a habit of bumping this once a month just to keep it alive.

ADFan185 · **Reply #72 on:** March 15, 2017, 01:12:59 PM

That's a good idea

Ducky123 · **Reply #73 on:** March 16, 2017, 01:02:30 PM

Yeah

I'm about to have a job until the end of March so again no time <_<

ADFan185 · **Reply #74 on:** March 17, 2017, 07:27:52 AM

Well that's awesome that you're getting job tho. Good luck With the job. What job are you getting anyway?

Flathead770 · **Reply #75 on:** July 14, 2017, 01:14:03 PM

It's awesome that you're trying to bring this back. If you're still working on this then I am totally down for participating! Adventuring is the song? I can get behind that. I've actually been singing LBT songs on my 30min drive to work recently to help wake myself up at 5am and Adventuring is one of them.

Ducky123 · **Reply #76 on:** July 15, 2017, 02:04:45 PM

Well, I've just tried getting back into it yeah but it's tough

Found a program that's a little easier to use now so I really hope I get some progress done soon

Flathead770 · **Reply #77 on:** July 17, 2017, 06:09:55 PM

No worries. I can imagine that it would be pretty darn hard to do. Best of luck!

I was looking back and I found out that I signed up for Tim's Beyond the Mysterious Beyond sometime before I dropped off (though finding out he never finished it until 2015 makes me feel a bit better) so I hope I can stick around for this one.

Ducky123 · **Reply #78 on:** July 18, 2017, 07:51:08 AM

It's been a long while since I originally announced this so maybe I should start the call for participants anew? Also, if there's anybody who can help me with the music would be really helpful (like, somebody to look over my stuff and make suggestions/corrections

I'll have more time on my hands from next week on so hopefully I can show a little preview by then... though I won't care much for instrumentation much and just focus on getting the notes right

Flathead770 · **Reply #79 on:** July 18, 2017, 06:45:50 PM

I could take a look whenever your ready. I don't know how much of a help I'll be but the way I look at it is that at the very worst I won't be of any help at all.
