What you listening to right now?

Interesting that you're not too impressed. I think we love what we know and change/new versions mostly fail. Bands make demos, exciting, rough, then when they record properly they often loose that "whatever" that made the demo great.

The tools to take these things apart have become really cheap too, a few hundred quid!

I think those limitations of that time were a primary reason for those great albums and the generally lively music back then - you had to commit to things and had to be able to play really well and bands actually played together in the studio and recorded it. It's become too easy (many would say) overdubbing, multiple takes, chopping out the crud, auto tune, a lot of people would say technology has made music more stale.

 

Everybody gets tuned these days, even the mega stars. The tools are there and it's better to get an emotional take and not worry about the odd bum note or dodgy timing. Again, the tools are stock as part of every DAW. And, it lead to a very interesting style when used excessively. Mostly though you'd never know.

 

£30 certainly not a fortune! I saw that the remixed Revolver album was as below

 

If you have half an hour to kill @Zed

 

Revolver's one of my faves No point in stereo-ing it imho. It's meant to be played on an old valve Dansette in your bedroom.

 

Great...
