Giles is not his dad, that's for sure. Mixing Sgt Pepper to hear all the instruments wasn't the goal of the original mix, it's like taking a painting by Picasso and brightening certain colors that the artist wasn't trying to emphasize.
You are a saint. These songs are so amazing. I only wish the people in charge of remastering the Beatles music took the same care that you do. It’s like hearing the songs for the first time.
You do a fantastic job on these classics. I love listening to your mixes. Thank you for not messing with the music, but bringing it out. Great job. Yes I subscribed.
Thanks. I have always loved this song, but been slightly frustrated with the mixes, as with many Beatles songs. This is now the finished product, at last, 58 years later.

Many thanks for this most interesting new remix. The sound quality is truly startling, almost 60 years after the original recording. You have to ask: "Whatever next?".
Everyone of the videos are more art and an honor to them. Please someone get these to Apple to officially release and compensate Britt for The Best ever!
@@WinItReigns The tools I use are a far cry from state-of-the-art. For de-mixing I use the $70 version of RipX. For remixing I use a free, open source program called Audacity. For the video production I use Microsoft's free Clipchamp. Please keep in mind, with the audio remixing I'm only moving things around a bit or raising and lowering the gain here and there. In extreme cases I will replace something taken from another Beatles recorded source. The bulk of the remixes that your hearing has already been done by the professionals.
What britt2001b states is correct. With headphones this is marvelous. To quote: "If you're listening with headphones, you will hear some new psychedelic traveling across the sound stage, enhancing the song's atmosphere. Nothing new has been added that was not part of the original. I did not modify any of the instrumentation."
Really imaginative video, with a wonderfully clean sound. Was that Stuart Sutcliffe on the bass for a few seconds? Excellent work, and hope your work gets recognised more. Thanks.
Excellent video! Appropriately eerie and psychedelic. Mix-wise, nothing will ever beat the fake stereo US release on Capitol's _Yesterday And Today_ vinyl album (Beatles on original vinyl is a MUST for any fan). For me, that mix is the one that just sounds right for this song. The backwards guitar parts are a little different in a way that I like better, too.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you! I only had the mono 'Yesterday & Today' back in 1966 in which the backwards guitar didn't appear until about 1:20 in this song. I was very shocked when the guitar came in much earlier in the stereo version.
@@britt2001b Interesting, isn't it. The Y&T mix holds off on the backwards guitar until the first "takin' my time" when it suddenly swoops in. So much cooler and startling than the more common stereo mix. But there is also something about the stereo simulation on "Sleeping" that actually worked. Like I said before, it always sounded right to me even though it was just the mono mix slightly bastardized.
You've done it again. Just when I thought that GM did a good job on a remix, you come in with your version and improve it by orders of magnitude. To me, not only are the vocals cleaner and crisper, the bass seems to have better articulation. I am a huge fan of PMC'c bass sound in this period. He's using his Ric 4001 and playing it through a Vox 7120 amp. A very rare amp that he used for only this album and for the 1966 world tour. I know this sound well as I own both the bass and the amp.
Thank you! ADT (artificial double tracking) is a process to make a vocal sound 'thicker'. Before the artificial process was created, an artist would sing their vocal twice, superimposing each vocal together in sync for this thicker sound. ADT is just copying the first vocal and superimposing this copied track slightly out of sync with the first to achieve double tracking without the artist having to re-sing it again. The process was used quite often during this era but quickly lost favor. ADT can subconsciously confuse the mind as it's trying to determine is it hearing one voice or two? For me, this confusion is distracting from the overall enjoyment of the song.
Thank you, glad you do and I'm glad you're listening. I would love to do some more Buddy Holly and have actually worked on some of Ritchie Valens recordings that I need to revisit.
Yes and here in the states we got to hear it first but it was presented in awful fake stereo because E.M.I. sent Capitol the newly mixed mono version. In the rush to release 'Yesterday & Today' Capitol did not want to wait for the E.M.I. stereo mix. Later releases of 'Yesterday & Today' included the real stereo mix. Fortunately I had the mono version which had different 'backwards' guitar embellishments in "I'm Only Sleeping."
Sounds great! John Lennon usually either double-tracked his lead vocals or, after EMI's engineers had created the ADT device, requested its use. I remember him saying in an interview once that he thought his voice wasn't good enough without it, that DT or ADT made it sound "thicker" or something. It's as if he thought he sounded too "thin" when recorded dry. But I've gotta say, Britt, his voice sounds wonderful on this remix. I don't know if John would have wanted this done, but I like it very much. His voice certainly was better than he imagined it to be. Nice work!!!!!
Thank you! Yes, John certainly underestimated his voice. E.M.I. created artificial double tracking because of his displeasure with having to sing his vocal twice. If you listen close to some of his natural double tracked vocals you'll hear him singing different words at times.
@@britt2001b -- True! Lennon often changed up lyrics for humorous effect, ever the wise-cracker he, but sometimes it surely was accidental, e.g., when double-tracking a lead vocal and messing up a word or an inflection here or there. I think his imperfections usually put most other singers' "perfect" takes to shame. He had his insecurities, but they pale against his amazing catalog of great songs with great lead vocals. He and George were also great in harmony backup vocals behind Paul's songs, and sometimes Lennon took the lead guitar part. All four of those guys (plus George Martin, Billy Preston, and on rare occasions, others) were wonderful musicians. People will be listening to their recordings for centuries if we don't drive ourselves extinct first.
How about Richard Starkey's drumming finally being resurrected from the dense mix of the original release oh yeah...yes The Beatles really had a very good drummer at the time...its just that no one could discern his presence from those mixes way back then..great job😊
Thank you, but please give credit to Giles Martin for the drums. I did not modify any of the instrumentation in my remix although removing the wide panned ADT seems to make the instrumentation tighter and more present. It is great that we can now hear Ringo's drumming more forward in the mix. For years it was too far in the background which was common during this era. Thanks for listening!
I like it. I've never been a big fan of ADT especially in mono. It sounds pretty good on the original stereo mix because it's spread across the two channels but Giles often folded the effect in the middle which muddles it for me
This is a great mix! If you did a version with the ADT it would be perfect. Also, which multitracks did you use and how are you avoiding TH-cam's copyright?
Thank you! I created my own multi-tracks using the de-mixing program RipX. The copyright owner of this song now allows TH-cam publishing. Thanks for listening!
Thank you! Yes, I knew "the yawn was Paul" but I couldn't match the A.I. lip sync with him effectively but Ringo's seem to work quite well. Also, Ringo always needs more screen time. Thanks for listening!

Great stereo mix. By removing the ADT from the vocal you were able to bring up the backing instruments and give it more punch which I like. Also the video is great too. What app or program did you use to have the beatles lip synch photos ?. I use a lot AI lip synch myself but need to know what you use for this video.
@@britt2001b I use Hedra. It's good but depending on the pic , it's a little too exagerated on certain face moves and tends to disort the faces with wrinkles on certain parts. It's excellent for comedy pics though. Also they are very strict with celeb pics , I tried many Beatles faces and most don;t allow it , I think you got away with it because you used AI enhanced beatles faces , I don;t know.
I had to audition several examples to find the right facial expression. It was very time consuming. Hopefully there will be some improvements with this technology in the near future. Animated caricature faces were mostly allowed.
No, but I wish I did! I create my own multi-tracks by de-mixing the original using the RipX program. Having access to the original multi-tracks could and should produce far superior sounding results.
@@MikieLAX For the Beatles' remixes I use the 96/24 files from the re-released 'Red' and 'Blue' albums. For all others I use the best quality hi-rez tracks available.
@@britt2001b I believe if Geoff Emerick had originally mixed Revolver in stereo he would've placed both voices in the middle. ADT was invented to strengthen the vocal - splitting it widely doesn't serve that purpose. It's one of my criticisms of Giles.
I agree. Not only was John's vocal double-tracked, ADT was then again applied to the original double tracked vocal and given the wide separation. A kind of double tracking on steroids!
You are. I just removed the wide panned ADT. I'm just not sure if the first double tracking of his vocal was artificial or natural. The second double tracking is definitely ADT just panned hard left and hard right.
Yes the lead vocal is still double tracked. After this vocal was double tracked an additional layer of wide panned ADT (artificial double tracking) was added. I only removed the wide panned double tracking. I'm not sure if the original vocal was naturally double tracked or artificially double tracked.
@@britt2001b The lead vocal was NOT double tracked. That's why they used ADT on it to artifically double track it. If you want to hear it single tracked without ADT, just play the right channel only of the 1966 stereo mix. You can hear it's single tracked. The only double tracked lines are at the end of verse "I'm still yawning" and "float up stream". But it sounds more like Paul doubling John rather than John manually doubling himself.
Now I'm confused. In my remix I eliminated the left channel vocal from Giles' remix and placed the right channel vocal in the center. I still hear two voices. The only logical solution would be why would Giles double track the original 1966 right channel vocal? Doesn't make sense. You're right, the 1966 version has a single track in the right with an out sync single tracked vocal in the left. In Giles' version I'm hearing two vocals in the right ADT'd to the left.
@@britt2001b I'll give the remix a listen. But for the original mix they panned the vocal to the right and the ADT signal, which is basically a 30 ms delay, to the left. Maybe Giles doubled the vocal panned it to the right and then doubled it again panned that to the left? My guess. Anyway, you'd get cleaner non ADT vocal by extracting the vocal from the right channel of the original 1966 stereo mix rather than Giles mix, imo.
It sounds like that's what he did. Essentially that would have the same result as ADT as he had to delay the left channel a bit to keep it from meeting in the center.
Hi Britt, regarding recording processes, admittedly I’m largely ignorant. What in your opinion is the benefit of removing the ADT in John’s vocal? Why was this technique used initially? Much appreciated, B.
It's not just removing the ADT, it's removing the wide-panned ADT. In this case, it brings the vocal back to the center channel where it sounds more natural. Sound engineers used this technique to thicken weaker voices. For example, it wasn't necessary to double track Sinatra's voice because it just wasn't needed. ADT (artificial double tracking) was created to keep the singer from having to manually record his or her vocal twice. Not easy to do as each word, phrase and vocal inflection had to be sung the same in both takes. ADT was commonly used in the mid sixties but soon fell out of favor. Thanks for the question and many thanks for listening!
Wow just wow 👌
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening!
So good...takes me back to a special time...1966 Majorca...oh we had some fun and this LP ( Revolver) was our soundtrack.

b) Astonishing, wonderful graphics.

Great! Thank you so much!
Way better than the Giles Martin remix; less cluttered and less bass heavy, leaving all of the instruments and vocals space to breathe organically.
Thank you! Also, ADT subconsciously confuses the mind as it tries to make sense of an unnatural sound.
@@britt2001bwhy don't You use 1966 touring footage? :c
Giles is not his dad, that's for sure. Mixing Sgt Pepper to hear all the instruments wasn't the goal of the original mix, it's like taking a painting by Picasso and brightening certain colors that the artist wasn't trying to emphasize.
thats funny because im listening on nice yamaha headphones and it feels super bass heavy and muffled.

Also they are very strict with celeb pics , I tried many Beatles faces and most don;t allow it , I think you got away with it because you used AI enhanced beatles faces , I don;t know.
I had to audition several examples to find the right facial expression. It was very time consuming. Hopefully there will be some improvements with this technology in the near future. Animated caricature faces were mostly allowed.
Why don't You use 1966 touring footage? :c
She saaaaaaaid, where's my ADT at? 🎵
Lol
Would have been nice to have the Lennon visual from 1966 and not 1971.
How did you do it? Do you have access to the multitracks?
No, but I wish I did! I create my own multi-tracks by de-mixing the original using the RipX program. Having access to the original multi-tracks could and should produce far superior sounding results.
What software is used to extract the original tracks for remix?
RipX
What do you use for masters for RipX?
@@MikieLAX For the Beatles' remixes I use the 96/24 files from the re-released 'Red' and 'Blue' albums. For all others I use the best quality hi-rez tracks available.
I think the ADT works fine when it isn't separated. Great in mono.
Much better in mono.
@@britt2001b I believe if Geoff Emerick had originally mixed Revolver in stereo he would've placed both voices in the middle. ADT was invented to strengthen the vocal - splitting it widely doesn't serve that purpose. It's one of my criticisms of Giles.
I agree. Not only was John's vocal double-tracked, ADT was then again applied to the original double tracked vocal and given the wide separation. A kind of double tracking on steroids!
@@britt2001b Interesting. I thought I was crazy, but I think I can hear two voices even in your reduced mix.
You are. I just removed the wide panned ADT. I'm just not sure if the first double tracking of his vocal was artificial or natural. The second double tracking is definitely ADT just panned hard left and hard right.
La verdad, prefiero el mezclado original de 1966.
I'm confused, the ADT is still there on the vocal. Maybe little bit subdued but still there. Though there are spots where it is cleaner.
Yes the lead vocal is still double tracked. After this vocal was double tracked an additional layer of wide panned ADT (artificial double tracking) was added. I only removed the wide panned double tracking. I'm not sure if the original vocal was naturally double tracked or artificially double tracked.
@@britt2001b The lead vocal was NOT double tracked. That's why they used ADT on it to artifically double track it. If you want to hear it single tracked without ADT, just play the right channel only of the 1966 stereo mix. You can hear it's single tracked. The only double tracked lines are at the end of verse "I'm still yawning" and "float up stream". But it sounds more like Paul doubling John rather than John manually doubling himself.
Now I'm confused. In my remix I eliminated the left channel vocal from Giles' remix and placed the right channel vocal in the center. I still hear two voices. The only logical solution would be why would Giles double track the original 1966 right channel vocal? Doesn't make sense. You're right, the 1966 version has a single track in the right with an out sync single tracked vocal in the left. In Giles' version I'm hearing two vocals in the right ADT'd to the left.
@@britt2001b I'll give the remix a listen. But for the original mix they panned the vocal to the right and the ADT signal, which is basically a 30 ms delay, to the left. Maybe Giles doubled the vocal panned it to the right and then doubled it again panned that to the left? My guess. Anyway, you'd get cleaner non ADT vocal by extracting the vocal from the right channel of the original 1966 stereo mix rather than Giles mix, imo.
It sounds like that's what he did. Essentially that would have the same result as ADT as he had to delay the left channel a bit to keep it from meeting in the center.

Lennon wasn't like this in 1966. You included Fennon and Faul singing in the animation; but is your vision
Not so sure I like the vocals aren't as dominant as the original mix! Pauls vocal is almost lost in this mix
And that yawn.
Another boring so-called "remix". Give it a rest britt.
Hi Britt, regarding recording processes, admittedly I’m largely ignorant. What in your opinion is the benefit of removing the ADT in John’s vocal? Why was this technique used initially? Much appreciated, B.
It's not just removing the ADT, it's removing the wide-panned ADT. In this case, it brings the vocal back to the center channel where it sounds more natural. Sound engineers used this technique to thicken weaker voices. For example, it wasn't necessary to double track Sinatra's voice because it just wasn't needed. ADT (artificial double tracking) was created to keep the singer from having to manually record his or her vocal twice. Not easy to do as each word, phrase and vocal inflection had to be sung the same in both takes. ADT was commonly used in the mid sixties but soon fell out of favor. Thanks for the question and many thanks for listening!
@@britt2001b I will be listening. Gracias Seńor!
