I can't decide if these are OK or still wonky lemme know.

"I Should Have Known Better" was always a bit headache inducing because the mid-range but this seems a bit better to me.

"And I Love Her" I moved the bongos center and claves left. The algorithm sometimes thinks the guitar strums are percussive and grabs them as drums I can't do anything about that.

"I'll Cry Instead" - This track is greatly improved by reducing that obnoxious tambourine and boosting the drums.

I think I have a slightly more effective work flow. I'm doing extractions from my old left/center/right isolations (instead of the stereo mixes) and I'm getting better separations of some elements although it's now 12 tracks of stems. :o

All long as I stack the extra tracks which are mostly background "junk" (microphone leakage) in the right place it all fits back together.

I've tried the improve the clarity of the drums (now centered) and open up the vocals a little. I also added a tiny bit of harmonic enhancement to some tracks because of the master tape problems.

"04 - I'm Happy Just To Dance With You (2023 remix)"

This supersedes the mix from earlier this year. This is very comparable to the Ron Furmanek mix.

"06 - Tell Me Why (2023 remix)"
hxxps://we.tl/t-WOgIBHKIX0
I was able to pull the piano bleed off the vocal track and move it to the side.

"10 - Things We Said Today (2023 remix)"

You can actually hear the drums now.

These actually came out much better than I hoped. The drums and vocals have been centered, the reverb swamp has been dialed back and the guitars are more symmetrical.

I have three others previously mixed (AHDN, CBML, YCDT) I want to evaluate before posting and two more (IIF, ATAL) I need to make new mixes.

After that I'll wrap them up in a ZIP.

Two NEW mixes. Let me know how these sound I can adjust. I have not changed the EQ much they should be almost identical to the 2009 remasters.

New remixes:
"03 - If I Fell (2023 remix)" - This mix has centered bass and drums and slight stereo-ized vocals. I kept the intro double-tracked to match the old stereo mix. I did make a single track intro if anyone asks. Yes, Paul's vocal goof is actually patched I'm not Giles Martin. :lol:

"08 - Any Time At All (2023 remix b)" - This mix has centered bass and drums and stereo vocals (per the original mix). I have also taken the liberty of slowing it down slightly the original sounds sped up to my ears. I simply added 1% to the sample length.

Slightly older remix:
"12 - You Can't Do That (2023 Remix)" - Originally I had the bongos in the middle with the drums but it sounded so congested I moved them to the left (sound-stage inversion). I may have posted this before I'm not sure. It sounds fine (I hope) so that leaves me down to two tracks to re-evaluate then I am done with this album.

I almost reposted "Can't Buy Me Love" but it's actually TOO clear and in your face I need to soften the sound a bit.
