Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly - a collaboration
March 14, 2012 at 5:53 am
Years ago (before my left hand gave out and I could actually play), I did a collaboration with my friend Brian, who lives in California. I did the MIDI music tracks, and he filled in the vocals. It's not great, but it was a lot of fun. It's one of the few songs I've done that has vocals. I recently remixed it so it does sound a little better:

Enjoy
P.S. All of the instrumentation you hear was done on keyboard, and sequenced with my computer.

No offense to your friend, but I think the vocals ruined it. But, I'm a diehard Pink Floyd fan.

No offense taken. We both know that he isn't a good singer. I'm not either, but I wanted vocals on this track and he volunteered. If you know any volunteers who are good singers and would like to be on this track, I'm all ears. Please note, this is just for fun.
By the way, I did another Pink Floyd song about ten years ago. I orchestrated it a bit because, like I said, I'm a lousy singer. And this was using older MIDI technology. Still, the sequence is good even if the instrumentation leaves something to be desired. One of these day's I might redo it. Here it is - Comfortably Numb:

If you still have the instrumental version you recorded, PM me for my email addy and I'll see what I can do with it. I think I can mix audio on this computer.

Are you volunteering to lay down a vocal track for the song?

Do you have the capability to lay down a separate vocal track from the instrumental track and save it as a separate 44,100 Hz 16 bit pcm .wav track? If so, I'd prefer that you do it that way, so I can do the final mixing. Are we agreed? If so, I'll send you a pm so I can tell you where you can download the instrument track. (The instrument track file size is about 53 megabytes, so I assume you have broadband internet).
P.S. It would help if your eq settings are flat with no effects, and no noise reduction. I'll do that myself for the final mix.

Yeah, I've got several different audio recording programs. I just need to dig out my good microphone.

Great. Can't wait to hear it.
