    The serendipity of the creative songwriting of the Beatles conjoined with the experimental engineers created timeless recordings that have sold more than a billion sales. Every year, the younger generations discover the unique quality of the output of these four young men. Wonderful!

      Please take it from a musician/guitarist of 61+ years (with a short stint as an engineer in a 16-track analog studio), The Beatles were the best of all time ...

    I think that's it's significant that The Beatles themselves, cared about the sound, rather than excepting what the producer offered them - the Beatles pushed for the improvements!

    In recent yrs I began wondering what Beatle albums be like if they'd come to America to record. It was amazing that the most important band in popular music ever had to practically beg for equipment. While I enjoy most British artists over U.S. muscians (because you could never tell what was really made by the band's themselves and what was really The Wrecking Crew) but the American studios would very likely cater to all The Beatles needs. They were their own roadies too (them and Mal). Can you imagine any popular bands setting up their equipment?

    @SeltaebEht ปีที่แล้ว +1

    8:03 Yes, but this one playing here is the "EDITED VERSION" not the slow-down version: the music clip has been cut in pieces and reconstructed by one of the sound engineers, so, basically what's on YS are fragments of Le Reve Passe, not a passage from the song. I've been trying to reconstruct the YS instrumental part but I failed and eventually gave up ... it's just too hard to get the exact bars of music used.

  • @glowaves

    It's wild how close you got to the Beatles' Revolver-era sound in your example! Very cool. When you show the plugins, are they at random settings, or at the settings you applied?

    • @mixingmasteringonline

    I see George in his Dylan cap and sunglasses playing a Burns guitar. Peter Noone of the Hermits was rummaging around Abbey Road closest when he came across a tape box that said "The Beatles For Noone" and assumed it was a gift from the Fabs. So he put it back on the shelf and waited for them to present him with their thoughtful gift. He waited . . . and he waited . . . then one day Revolver comes out with "For No One" on it.

If you can't afford full price from their site then used gaming and software sites have P&G plugins super cheap. Also East West has FAB FOUR vst- all of the Beatles instruments recorded through original hardware, mics, etc...

    When you're talking about the Artificial Double Tracking, you fail to distinguish (or explain) the difference between straight ADT (in which the signal is copied onto a second track or bus and the varispeed is used to add a slight delay, thereby tricking the ear into thinking there are two voices, etc.) and "flanging" in which the ADT signal was actually sped up and slowed down with the varispeed to create the "whooshing" phasing sound.

    Very nice. But when there’s a shot of a turntable, IT’S RUNNING BACKWARDS! The word “LAME” comes to mind…

    “Revolutionary” has negative connotations as they usually make things worse

    American Revolver was the worst. It had what, 2 Lennon songs, one of which was crummy. A hodgepodge of other stuff, mostly Paul songs. George’s negative Taxman, and some more Indian drivel. It was their worst. That album before, with the luggage trunk cover, was their last good American album. It was all downhill from there.

    So The Beatles ripped off Motown now to create their sound from 1966 on....????? LOL .....What American music were they trying to emulate or upgrade their sound to? They were leading the world in music from 1963. So, we're to attribute George Martin moving McCartney's bass more up front in the sound mixes to James Jamerson......give me a freaking break. This is history being rewritten at its worst. Bass guitar lines were simplistic and almost nonexistent and hardly audible in Motown recordings from the early 60's. What manure. McCartney elevated bass guitar parts and the tonal output.....but let's not necessarily credit USA pop, rockabilly, R & B, soul too much.

      Damn, dude. I'm pretty sure this credit given to Jamerson as an influence is based directly on what Paul McCartney has said on the subject. Jamerson's bass lines were great from the outset...and if anyone could notice the flavor in a baseline I'm sure McCartney would be chief among them regardless of it's prominence in the mix. Why so reactionary on the subject? You're not some kind of white supremacist bass player, are you? Because that would be an especially ludicrous thing to be racist about. I mean, seriously.

      I don't think you can credit US pop rockabilly R&B and soul too much at all, lmao. The electric energy on those records is unbelievable and every Beatle would have told you how much they were drawing from it. And motown bass playing is famously exceptional. are you insane

      @@ThisWeirdOldMan-bl8kt Maybe Paul stole from Jamerson.....but McCartney and George Martin were smart enough to put Paul's melodic and creative bass lines more upfront in the production mix.....Beatles records from Sgt. Pepper's were noteworthy for the bass being right out there in most every track.

      @@ThisWeirdOldMan-bl8kt Not at all....McCartney had the more melodic, lead guitar-like bass in Beatles/Wings songs....most folks wouldn't even know who Jamerson was....or know of a signature Motown tune or a memorable bass line. Paul used different bass guitars to alter his tone....Jamerson didn't. Paul was a more iconic bass player......hands down. Based on Paul's bass sound, I wouldn't even say he copied Jamerson.
