Remix made with AI extracted stems.
Even more challenging than the previous album! The problem is that this album was badly recorded, increasingly more so than the debut. The songs were all recorded with the meters on red and as a consequence, the sound is very distorted and compressed. No remix can alter that since the problem is more deeper, although you can alleviate the issues by changing it a bit.
Sister Ray was very neutered on the album, so I tried to bring back the harshness and give the instruments more lead room on the mix. Lou Reed's guitar is locked on the same track as Cale's Continental Vox keyboard, so it's practically impossible to demix the two. Therefore, I resorted to some creative panning during the loud parts.

This song blows your head off and shifts its rhythms around especially when John Cale’s organ weaves its way into the mix.

The engineer asked when the so was going to end, Lou said when it ends

One of the most ferocious and menacing organ performances in the entire Rock history.

I randomly searched youtube to see if there were any fan remixes of VU's albums and I came across your two remixes. I have to say, I am incredibly impressed with the work you did. Everything is so well-balanced and cleaned up while retaining the abrasiveness You can hear stuff a seasoned listener might miss. These remixes were like putting on a pair of new glasses, and these might be my go-to listens for these albums. Thank you for doing this.

No wayyyyyy.. I love all your choices for remixes, from TMR to VU. You're my hero!

i love the fact that Sister Ray was a shitty mix. it fit's the song. the songs a story that's about as messy a Selby influenced story could be. As least that's what it is to me, except I read Selby after I heard Sister Ray, but there it is a goddamn rockn' roll mess of a Selby cut-up. if you want to hear some better recordings of this song I recommend the Matrix Tapes. those are the best Velvet cuts of many of their songs recorded a year later. live, sounds like everything was mic'd directly into a soundboard: great sounding! Just for Sterling's explosive lead and Lou's distortion heavy "power chords"if you can call them that, they are on the top of their capabilities as the VU.

Would you be interested in doing any work on tracks from Royal Trux - Twin Infinitives? I could see Solid Gold Tooth, and Chances are... , benefitting from separation and cleanup. I've always wondered what the vocals to Solid are, under all that mess. Take care

@homelessking6822 Год назад

Great work as usual. Morrison's guitar sounds a little brittle at times tho, almost like it's coming out of a broken speaker. I wonder if you could do something about that

@ant2manbee931 Год назад

This is practically impossible to fix because that was how it was recorded, there's really not much you can do.

@AppleOno Год назад

@@ant2manbee931 How well did the AI separate the guitar track? We can always try running it through different plugins, FX, compression, EQ, etc., to see how we might help it sound "beefier"...

@ant2manbee931 Год назад

@@AppleOno It really depends on the song. I noticed that the AI have problems with heavily compressed songs and sometimes I needed to extract each channel separately. Funny enough, the extractions on Sister Ray were pretty good when comparing to, let's say, Here She Comes Now. And then later you'll also might need to mess with channel mixers and compressors on audio editing software in order to isolate each element.

@AppleOno Год назад

@@ant2manbee931 That makes sense. It will be nice when this stuff is perfected more and is just a standard menu item in every DAW!

@parmaleedog 3 месяца назад

Sounds great! Which software did you use for stem extraction? If you'd be willing to share the isolated organ stem it would be greatly appreciated.

@parmaleedog 3 месяца назад

Ah, nevermind. I see that you've already noted that the organ is impossible to isolate from Lou's guitar. Thanks anyway!

@ant2manbee931 3 месяца назад

I used the mvsep website which provides the Demucs4 algorithm for extractions.

@rallizesremastered3780 Год назад

Awesome. Do you think you could provide me the stems for this one? I want to try and mix it...

@ant2manbee931 Год назад

I could, but I have to organize the session project first and upload it 'cause my project it's kinda messy. If you want you can also try sending the song on mvsep website to extract the stems.

@AppleOno Год назад

I'd like to try mysep, what settings on the Web site did you use to get it to separate this into the different tracks?

@ant2manbee931 Год назад

@@AppleOno Demucs 4 is the best. Demucs 3 is also good but you'll have to experiment depending on the song.

@ant2manbee931 Год назад

@@AppleOno Both demucs 4 and 3 are in the website. If I may ask, what type of a song did you tried?

So is that Sterling on the left channel and Lou and John are on the right with Maureen ... Actually was they're a lot of leakage this made it challenging to remix ? Almost sounds like Lou over dubbed his guitar and had two guitar tracks but this was live so that is what Sterling played on the left channel...

@ant2manbee931 3 месяца назад

Yeah, you're correct. It's one take, performed live.

@mikehirsh1896 3 месяца назад

Wow did you take apart the 4 track and remixed this ... What was on what

@ant2manbee931 3 месяца назад

No, I simply used machine learning to extract the instruments from a digital lossless copy of the song.
