(OUTDATED) Watching Rainbows - The Ultimate Get Back Sessions Remaster (BETA RELEASE)

[Onkster II]

Do these sound like completed tracks? Or a much-improved remix?

Or both?

What do you mean by that?

I’m just unclear on what you’re doing to the originals. I am interested, I’m just a little unclear as to what the process is.

As stated earlier, this project does 2 things:
It reconstructs the Get Back sessions as accurately and complete as possible, so without missing any piece of audio or errors/duplicates throughout.
And it remasters every source available to achieve a better sound quality. The main A and B rolls sources are getting subtle treatement (just some more crispness on the highs, volume balancing and a method that I came up with to restore ATRAC audio). While other bad sources, like Get Back Journals, are getting some more heavy restoration.
Plus, every mono source is going to be stereoized with Cubase's MonoToStereo, which like I said, is subtle, works amazing and doesn't sound artificial.

Thanks for explaining further! So this will be the bigger, better replacement for AB Road, it sounds like. Impressive!

I mentioned before, restoration is good but mono to stereo, especially with ready made plugins, dates quickly and removes any archival values due to the artifacts added. Often a comb filter is used by these plugins and you really should not be doing that to audio.

Already thought of this.
There is going to be a version of the set with the plugin disabled.

Really looking forward to this set… thanks for taking all this time to upgrade. What a gargantuan task!

UPDATE 18/11/2023

Everything until the 29th is finished. Only rooftop and the 31st remain.
As always, these last days are revolutionary, thanks to cliftdean74's rips of the original (and probably rare) no-Purple-Dog-fake Day By Day series, you can hear the last Apple days in full lossless quality! (well, at least the A Camera).
Other than a few improved edits, I also noticed that Roll 527A (from the 28th) is actually a bit longer, containing some new audio that never showed up before.
Hoping to complete all of the audio by the end of the year.
