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?

@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

His atmos mixes are stunning, so are his 2 channel mixes in hirez, pick your flavor (or get both like I did)

 

Yes I know, John Lennon preferred the mono mixes so you might as well ditch your stereo mixes if you want the classic version:

 

Listened to the Atmos version on Tidal, crystal clear and fresh. Vocals and strings sound amazing.

ART! When you find a masters painting that has been in storage for years you restore it. You lift away the crud so you can see what is under it.

When I listened to the Atmos mix I heard separation of strings, inflections of voices, crispness of horns that I didn’t hear before. Isn’t that like a restoration of a masters art work? That wasn’t an accident, if you watch the video interview of Giles he discusses the process that was used to restore info that was on the original masters.

 

You can’t go out and buy that original mono copy at the store (maybe ebay?), but anyone can stream the new mixes. Congrats to the owners of the original but for the rest of us it is nice to have a refresh.
