@shadowfax - yeah, seems to be some kind of concensus here...
@RealKevM - And what are those braces on Kylies swimming cozzie top she had on on the i should be so lucky viedeo all about?
@Jambrains - cheers , praise indeed from the production meister, always respect your work mr J.
No Vince can’t have his dx7 back, it’ll take me a lifetime to figure out how it works...and don't ask about the matrix12 or the Fairlight, i remember a producer mate of mine recalling kate bush and the fairlight, she only managed to get the sound of broken glass out of it, cost her a packet in hire charges, you can hear it on Experiment IV, with Nigel Kennedy on fiddle ( a truly wonderful Song all about the government wanting develop a weapon using sound - don't look any further than this song!)...
@Skub - cheers man, just took a listen to the Enz track, boy they are talented, i remember seeing them on sight and sound in concert, just brilliant song writing, Never forget it, haircuts and wonderful songs. It does rather sound like that.
You too are one I totally respect here Davy.
Thanks again for the critiques, I’ve spent the day retracking and remixing it...I’ll put it up on Sc as a SWF remix, and tell me what you think...someone mentioned lots of layers..this has about 52 tracks, not a huge amount but i wondered how that managed it back in the early 80, the did have 48 ch desks then and rows of 2” Studer tape machines, and the spaghetti of the patchbay going off and back to the outboard gear the credit for ‘Engineered by’ is often overlooked.
Change list
Flanger on Opening gtr
Reduced congas length,
More of my BV’s in bridge and committed them and outro (idea by
@MonnoDB and @jack simmons)
A hook from V1 at the end with a dirty radio sound ... it all sounded a bit too clean up to that point ...lest they forget it
Tverb on bv’s buss
Added portions 2 track BV’s in v1 to thicken the end of each line.
Offset some BV's a tad to thicken, rather than use microshift (I tried both and the former sounded better)
Aligned LVox in V1 but decided not to melodyne it.
Tried and rejected a few other ideas.
Remixed - LVox were re assesed
Remastered
Not a huge difference it’s different rather than better.
Hope you like it, up for feedback...
