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?

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.

@bdp24 , do you have an atmos setup? Hirez? Would really enjoy checking out your system, can you post it in the virtual system area with a few pics if it isn't too much trouble? Thanks

I am looking forward in reading about your impressions and thoughts. That is quite a collection of The Beatles recordings.

 

Happy Listening!

The answer is 2-fold. On one hand, it is Art via Giles Martin keeping these classic recordings anew. On the other hand, it is The Beatles machine attracting the next Generation of fans via newer technology. Not every music lover can afford those 1st pressing LP(s).  Win-Win.

 

Happy Listening!
