Re: Official different/variation mixes

Might as well play the whole of side 2 to Second Album; as the mix of Long Tall Sally is different than the "Past Masters 1" also:

Re: The 2012 Vinyl Re-Issues Were From 44.1khz Source

Nobody ever thought vinyl had miraculous dynamic range actually by LISTENING to it. The (narrowed) separation as well as (especially: lack-of a) guttural bass response couldn't even compete with a vintage, factory duplicated, 7 1/2ips reel to reel tape. This "boutique" record collectors' m...

BEATLES VI (24/192 AMPEX REEL)

Did each track individually to level-out those where the pitch seemed too fast and, used a slight noise filter also (equipped on the deck I played it back on). side 1 [hxxps://mega.nz/file/kgQETJhL#Ya2o1-3eMo2DzmJVnVAP0aWe67lcgzyZ8C2BQaQD7Yk] side 2 [hxxps://mega.nz/file/goBk1Brb#BBNfM1uuP9UwOPp-jRU...

Re: Misheard Beatle Lyrics

Didn't you lot ever have good stereos by a certain age? :? My father was born in '39; so, by the '60s, he was old enough to already have had a full-time job (which: afforded him the ability to buy a component system I, eventually, inherited)....yet "young enough" (at that time) to have bou...

Re: The Beatles "The Capitol Versions" Original Beat CD 2fer series

THE FULL STEREO YESTERDAY & TODAY, 24/88, taken DIRECT from my Ampex reel copy: PLAYED ON A RESTORED, HQ DECK WITH LAPPED AND DEMAGNETIZED HEADS (BIG DIFFERENCE!). EACH TRACK INDIVIDUALLY SPEED-CORRECTED (if was necessary) and levels more-or-less made consistent (I did not change channel imbalan...

Re: Rock & Roll Music (alternative piano version new remix)

Some tweaking to the reverb-heavy "Beatles '65-version" (which, has totally different EQ than the BFS one) can bring forward the piano as well (without the drastic "sparseness" from sacrificing the cymbal ride fills). 24/192 [hxxps://mega.nz/file/KAJiHbpR#8mkVtYsAHo1kh7fuHRUQxpIw...

de-duophonic'ed mono mix of Baby You're A Rich Man (made from tape)

Isolated the right channel of it from the Capitol MMT Ampex reel and tried to "re-introduce": bass at 450Hz; lower mids at 490 and 650; while cutting the reverb artifacts most present around the 850-region. It would've been an (otherwise) lost cause trying to boost the treble, conversely, ...

(side 1 *only*) LIVE&LET DIE sndtrk. 24/44 1973 tape

Just did side 1 (for the obvious :roll: reason and, because: the pseudo-Funk instrumentals George Martin orchestrates are interesting).

Re: Beatles - Ampex reel-to-reel tapes

There's a vastly marked improvement playing them on machines of this grade (in my experience):

Re: Beatles - Ampex reel-to-reel tapes

Here is a YT video (miraculously, somehow?, still up) playing 47-seconds of the actual Ampex Abbey Road reel. There is definitely something wrong with this deck's speed here (a portable Panasonic RS790); though: I hope the pitch isn't THAT far-off fast on the tape itself (I'm not a fan of A.R., pref...
