Dark Horse - Album Version w/ Early Take vocal (AI)

Hi all,

Another humble contribution - I've long felt, as many have, that the Dark Horse album is let down by George's injured vocal chords so, presented here, is an attempt to blend the Early Take's vocal with the album version's backing track. Pitch shifted, time stretched, and tweaked to align as best as I could.

Hope this is of interest to someone!

I think that's working, thanks!

Any chance you could:

-Bring up the replacement vocal a bit, sweeten as needed (add some reverb, doubling, compression, etc.)
-Give us a lossless version

Thanks...but....is it me or are the vocals off key a little? Especially noticable on the backing vocals.
Hang on....i'm off for a play with this.

Thanks, did you do yours from scratch? It sounds brighter and peppier (though at the same length as the other).

As for pitch, me being tone deaf has its advantages, ha!, but yours may sound more "present".

I raised the vocal a touch and used a plug-in to add a little sparkle and punch, just because i always thought that album sounded a little flat
