New, enhanced stereo mixes of classic oldies, for headphone enthusiasts.
I use AI software (UVR5) to create four or more stems. I then look for for alternate takes and split those up. I then mix these components together, using Cubase and Wavelab.
Adding none original elements to the mix does not result in something that sounds like a re-recording. Fold my remixes down to mono and you will hear something very close to the original versions. The original versions still exist for those purists who are emotionally attached to the original mixes.
The dictionary definition of the term remix is: A variant of an original recording (as of a song) made by rearranging or adding to the original.
And please note, I do this as a hobby, just for fun. You would think, after reading some of the hate comments posted by a tiny minority, that I was charging people money for these new mixes!
I don't know why I missed this on your long list. A favourite bit of mid 60s pop sounding really good after your remix, (of course). A bigger hit in Europe than in the UK.
The original mono release was ta terrible muddle.....your previous stereo remix was an enormous improvement, but this remix (with the spread on the the backing vocals and improved balance) is excellent.
🎧👍 "I guess I should have kept my mouth shut when I start to brag about my car." Hands down, this is my favourite Beach Boys song. One day at work as the oldies station was on, they played this one and for the first time, I focused on the words. There was no confusion from that point on as to which Beach Boys song came out on top. For such young men, the insight is astounding. The girl knows that, if he realizes how much she loves him, that will make all the difference...and he knows that too. The song is a masterpiece and may I suggest that this one could stand a redo by you with your polished skills. @radiowollaton8521
Mr. Wollaton. In the deepest depths of my memory I remember this piece of music. Wonderful music that goes straight to my playlist. Talking about easy listening. Delicious. Thank you again sir.
This is the first time that I can't spontaneously decide whether your new version is significantly better than the old one. What a luxury. But after listening to it several times, I think the bass is now more precise and the instruments are better distributed on the stereo stage. Well done Pat.
Interestingly, a lot of my old remixes sound OK on headphones but poor on speakers. If I didn't get all the different elements accurately synchronised and pitch corrected then it really is more noticeable on speakers. In the early days I did all my remixing using headphones only. Big mistake!
Very great sound now, Pat! I have to say: your sound is one class higher now (..and the "old" sound was good too!) - very clear and now without "hissing" (drums)! Cheers, Didi
Thanks Didi. I've been using a completely different method of remixing for the past few months. I can now produce a much cleaner sound, with better stereo. I want to replace all of my pre 2024 remixes now, which should keep me busy for a few years !
@@radiowollaton8521 👍👍👍 .. and i'm learning more and more the possibilties of my software.., somtimes it's very quick because of the "half ai" of my system... So we are able to make better and better sounds... - some of our "friends" are making their new sounds more and more bad (instead of better)....
This is my favorite song by them. According to Cher, it was recorded in summer 1964 at RCA with Leon Russell and Don Randi, each on piano, Barney Kessel on guitar, and Ellen Alaverdyan on bass. Bono knew them from working with Phil Spector at Gold Star Studios. All of them participated in the recording at no cost.
I remember the first night this hit the airwaves in September 1968. Everyone was calling each other up on the phone asking, "Have you heard the brand new Beatles song? WOW!!...."
I've augmented the drums, but the original drums are still in the mix. I do this to create a stereo drum sound and also to add more kick drum to the mix.
