The Beatles Revolver
Just read where Giles Martin is using AI-powered audio separation technology to remix Revolver. From what I read he can take the mono tracks and separate all the instruments and vocals on the 4 track tape the were recorded on and then I guess remix them in 24 track or whatever he wants. Is this good? I love The Beatles and no matter how much better it my sound it not the same. They had what they had in 1966. And George Martin did wonders with 4 tracks. Where does this reissuing of classic albums stop. Is Revolver remixed in multi tracks still Revolver?
@richardmathes When people say, as many here are, I among them, that these remasterings are all about money, we’re talking about the motive behind the 4,678th remastered, re-issued, deluxe, super deluxe etc. etc. Beatles album. This observation is completely removed from any judgement of the Beatles themselves. |
" All About The Money " Is it the fans wanting more or the " capitalists " creating a market ? Either way what does this have to do with the question about the new release being different and the quality of it ? I'll be answering that question after October 28th when the 2 LP issues is released and I can compare it to a 2009 digital copy and the last all analogue Japanese Box set copy . |
Stereophile reviewer Ken Micallef has a YouTube channel. His latest video (posted yesterday 10-19) is dedicated to the new Revolver LP boxset, which he displays and discusses. A search of his name on YouTube will lead you right to it. I find Ken’s evaluation and opinion of the Revolver album pretty much perfectly in line with mine, though I may like Rubber Soul (which he also describes much as I hear it) more than does he. |
