Real Love and Free As A Bird (new 2024 mixes) + RL/FAAB instrumentals

[Fred68]

Upon reflection I also feel that John's FAAB demo was running slow when they added their backing to it. So I've also made a mix sped up by 2% and to me John sounds much more like himself, and also George and Paul sound slightly younger and are a better match. And it makes the song less languid:

This sounds much better.

2024?!

Well, I called my last demix of Real Love "2023 mix" so I can't very well call it that again. And we're almost in 2024 anyway, so...

This mix is in response to all the people who said the last one was too slow. So I've done something similar except kept it at the same tempo as the official version. Which also means that I could add it to the video too.

Points of interest

- John's demo removed from the original version. In it's place I separated the two vocals from the demos and balanced them a bit so they match better. I also kept John's piano like in the commercial version but constantly and at a fairly low level except for the intro and interlude.

- I kept the tempo the same but lowered the pitch by 8% to match John, which to me is preferrable to speeding John up to sound like Pinky and Perky.

So in other words I kept it as close to the released version as possible, and just fixed the two things people hate ie: the lofi chipmunky sound to John's voice and the wack-a-mole piano.

Some years ago I did something similar but i used a different demo take and the synch wasn't as good, and there was no demixing then. So this one is much better. Hope you all like it.

thank and great job ......

[Lord Reith]

Thanks guys and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a nice song, though not as nice as Now And Then which was by far the best of the three in my view.
