Even more awesome! Your video on IT's Fame Studios teaches about bands within spaces and this video demonstrates your mix process. All excellent stuff, if you watch/listen to both videos all the way through you will definitely up your mixing skills! A big thank you to Dancetech for both uploads. Peace 🇬🇧🇯🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's cool thank you for the video ! I think the panning and space on the original is awesome. You could have done it better I think, for example the organ at the begging playing from left to right, the guitars panned hard left, and the percussions... It brings another dimension
Island Records always had a smooth silky signature sound on many Reggae recordings. This was very noticeable at the peak in the 70s/80s when Virgin had their Frontline Reggae label with a harsher tone by comparison. United Artists came close with some albums. The studios and producers had their own distinct styles, but retained the Island stamp. Another topic that was a hot issue at the time. When Island artists decamped to other labels the difference was concerning. The budgets were scarily audible!!!
might be, I haven't checked that. It is/was a thing with tape to slightly speed up a master to make a song fit a shorter radio friendly length or maybe to make a vocal sound a bit higher and more pop-y, speeding up a master tape also smoothes the sound out a bit. If you get old songs and import them into a DAW and analyse the key sometimes you find them in strange tuning.
lol, it's not supposed to be the same & it's a quick 2 hour mix from scratch, as the description says only about 90% finished. Besides, different strokes for different folks; I always felt the original had way too much reverb & was too light.. The whole Kaya album was like that, heavy on the reverb, & when you bought it at the time of release it sounded weird compared to all other reggae albums & all previous Bob Marley works.. Once you got used to it it was an interesting sound, but so light/thin & swamped in reverb compared to all other reggae at the time, like it was mixed for a rock audience & I much preferred the sound on say Survival album. Interestingly Kaya was mixed by Robert Ash who did rock including tons of the B-52's albums, and he also mixed Ijahaman Levi's 'Hail I Hyme' album which I love exactly because it's so off-centre musically as a reggae album & sounds more 'prog-y', but for me that works cos the music itself is so different for reggae music. Also interestingly wiki says about Kaya: " The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for 'going soft' as a result of the general sound of the album.." - all interesting stuff
@@TheSpeedyr6 it's ok, (logics verb). When i first bought Kaya and took it home it was a bit of a surprise tbh, but on some tracks i thought it worked, others not so much, but then you'd be comparing it to stuff like Big Youth & Scientist what have you (and earlier wailers albums obviously). Have you checked that Ijahman album btw? It's very different if you don't know it (th-cam.com/video/r77D7H3U330/w-d-xo.html)

@@dancetech I wish there was a way to see that link in English. Frustrating. Presonus sells tracks but you have to use their Studio One software.

@@dancetech Thanks. That worked. But I don't know if I'm brave enough to install the required software needed to unblock etc.

Isn t the original mix slightly faster (sped up)?

@@dancetech to be honest the reverb on original mix that is the main thing I loved when I first heard it , logic stock reverb is jacks shit
