Here's a remix/remaster of select Rubber Soul tracks on the new 2023 Red Album (and one from the 1+ compilation). I was disappointed with the balance of the instruments (especially the bass & drums) on many of the songs. Many of the remixes attempt to feature all the elements - vocals, instruments, bass & drums - at the same prominence losing the subtlety necessary to make a better mix. Below is a summary of my fixes. All tracks have also been remastered for better dynamics - hxxps://we.tl/t-Q8Y0SAYAF6
Drive My Car - Bass lowered by 2db. Guitar during the solo boosted by 3db.
Nowegian Wood - Bass on this one is way over the top. Bass lowered by 4db and select percussion after the sitar solo lowered in volume.
Nowhere Man - Bass lowered by 2db. Out of sync hi-hat fixed using the drum track from the Atmos mix.
Michelle - Bass lowered by 4db. Drums lowered by 2db.
Girl - This mix is the best of the bunch. Just remastered for better dynamics.
In My Life - Bass lowered by 1db. Bass guitar moved closer to the center.
If I Needed Someone - Bass and drums lowered by 2db. Take notice how this makes the guitars more prominent!
Day Tripper - IMO, the remix on the Red Album is the worst of the bunch. All elements of the mix competing for dominance! Therefore the remix from the 1+ compilation used instead. Bass has been slightly boosted. Select segments of the guitar solo have been boosted.
We Can Work It Out - Wow - the snare drum in this remix reminds me of the anvil in Maxwell's Silver Hammer! Bass lowered by 2db & drums by 3db (cymbal crashes by 1db).

Hi, Bombers_1969 - Really strange - Have tried twice to download this but each time it's removing it saying that there's a virus threat on this download (???) ....

Double checked the file with Malwarebytes and all is good! Sounds like you're getting a false positive for whatever reason.
So far there's been 32 downloads via the forum.

Re: Rubber Soul (2024) (EP) (Remix)
Thanks as always for your work. I look forward to listening. It's late now. Sunday night I should be able to have a listen.
But now these days are gone; I'm not so self-assured. Now I find, I've changed my mind, and opened up the doors.
