@ScottyDogg Here is the link to the stems, and midi files: https://app.box.com/s/tkvo6nh2w6onj7eonxa1wgw71llj0eth
Anyone with the link may access the Stems folder & download.
Blimey, had to get some help online re. the key... A/Bm (that's what the PC says anyway) ?
@ScottyDogg Super stoked that you're keen on a colab! Shout if you need anymore info or other production bits, and thank you.
daveo1977 Lol dunno what's going on with the midi? Pulled it in and this:
Top is the blast.mid file, next is hiphop.mid and below those is the coresessiondry.wav file. The midi files amount to 16 seconds long
Also, bpm of the song?
ScottyDogg I think I know what I did wrong. Fixed it and added the "Combo" midi file to the download folder. BPM set to 120.
daveo1977 Sweet got it all in properly now ?
Would you mind if I played with drums a little? Just adding in some cymbal hits instead of leaving in just hi hats
ScottyDogg By all means add your own flavour.
Had a bit of time to play with this last night and I think I might have something. I started messing around with a riff I've been playing with for a while and found a bit of inspiration. So far I've got rough versions of the intro and verse more or less in place as well as outlines for a bridge and chorus. Now need to round the song out, complete the lyrics and can then start on tighter recordings and adding detail.
daveo1977 Sorry bud - been crazy busy - should be able to send you something in the next few days 
My best idea so far was to take a few old tunes I've done for challenges and re-mix them in a contrasting way.
Didn't say it was a great idea... 
daveo1977 bruh - can you hook me up with the midi files for your stringed instruments?
There’s a lot going on and I’m having a tough time figuring out what notes to use lol
ScottyDogg Yo dude! I added the midi files for the strings to the same folder you accessed last time. As always, add / subtract to your liking - especially keen to hear some of the strings replaced with tasty metal guitar 
️
Whoooaaa....only a week left!
I'm using the challenge this month to commit to "tape" a long gestated thing - it's hardly original but it is (loosely interpreted) a contrast!
daveo1977 lol how can I share a draft so far with you without everybody having a listen to it prematurely?
I've generated new drum sounds with your midi, done guitars on the blast beat sections and think maybe just some light noodling in the quiet middle bit. Having difficulty with this one lol
ScottyDogg Dude, thanks for all this effort already! You can send a WeTransfer link to chef at brbk.online
daveo1977 Done - give it a listen and let me know what you think? I can do a bit of light mixing for a version you can submit for this competition (I've literally just sent an unmixed mixdown)
Tonight I'm gonna try figure out some guitar stuff for the quiet bits (though I don't think it's vitally necessary)
ScottyDogg Truly thrilled with the results of this colab! I've sent you an email - check spam just in case.

pic not showing?
I think that I'm pretty much done with my entry. Going to leave it a day or so and then give it another listen with fresh ears and see if I want to make any last minute tweaks.
