One of the highlights of the 2023 remix of the 'Red' and 'Blue' albums was "You Can't Do That". The drums were nicely elevated and moved to the center, along with the bass, making for a much more energetic mix than the stereo versions released prior. For my remix, I made no changes to the instrumentation; I only remixed the vocals to add some air and stereo stage presence. I separated the backing vocals from the center channel lead vocal and shifted them more towards the left. Additionally, during the chorus, I spread the three voices entirely across the stereo sound stage, with Paul in the left channel, John in the center, and George in the right. I believe this provides an interesting alternate vocal experience for this great 1964 recording from The Beatles. My mix emulates a mixing style common in the 60s, and I believe that if sound engineers had more tracks to work with during that time, it would have been mixed in a similar way. My main issue with the 2023 remixes is that I believe more separation of the voices should have been explored. Hopefully, those of you who share my belief will find this new mix enjoyable. As always, no artificial pseudo-acoustics have been used. I have added nothing that was not part of the original to enhance this remix. It is strictly a de-mixing of each of the vocal parts and a remixing of those elements. Thank you for listening!
