The Beatles - Abbey Road Medley (Full) Conventional Stereo Mix

Copyright - 1969 EMI Records Ltd.

READ THIS: For best audio quality watch the video in 720p
360p seems to cut off the bass frequencies and changes the listening experience, aside from adding in some horrible low quality sounds it's not how I intended it to be heard.

The Abbey Road Medley, I remixed the medley to give it a more conventional stereo mix. For example the drums are centered instead of off to one side like they are on the original album version, but when there are 2 tracks of drums, like in carry that weight, they are still panned left and right as they were. Also included is the final chord of Her Majesty. If you're a Beatles purist you might not want to watch this as it is not how they intended it to be heard but it has been a fun project for me to work on over the past few weeks. And hey! you get to hear little tid bits that are harder to hear in the original mix like the tubular bells in You Never Give Me Your Money, bet you didn't even know they existed did you? (Don't tell me if you did, that'll just make me look like an idiot) And I fixed a few bum notes that were in there, I just copied the same note from the next verse.

However if hearing the Beatles music mixed (in my opinion, better) is something you enjoy you may want to buy a copy of the Yellow Submarine Songtrack which includes many more conventional stereo mixes of other Beatles songs. Although this is, in my opinion, poorly done as there are some out of sync vocals and on Hey Bulldog even though the drums and piano are locked on one track I think they should have been centered instead of being panned far left. It is non the less a good shot at remixing some of the Beatles catalogue.

This took a lot of effort to make, I looped some piano sections to play while there is the Orchestra. This and other little tricks like that mean this song has a total of 43 tracks, with a total of 13 tracks playing simultaneously despite the fact that this was originally recorded on only 8 tracks. Making this has been difficult but fun at the same time and I hope you don't simply dismiss it as crap because it is not how it originally was.

Oh and a big shout out to my mate Scott who gave this a few listens as I was mixing it and gave some input on if he thought certain instruments were a bit loud etc.

which masters did you use to make these mixes? Did you use the 24bit 44.1khz 2009 remasters? Or did you use something like the 2009 in 16bit? Or did you rip some vinyl, or you used the 1987 cds? I just wonder... BTW, the mix is great!

@unclejonas

I didn't use any of the Masters I used the multitracks so I could change the positioning of each instrument. Remastering doesn't change the way it's mixed it just changes how it sounds overall, a Remaster is just the original master with the audio cleaned up a bit and maybe Eq'd differently for modern Equipment.

Glad you like it :)

Huhhmm. I dont have that last chord on my cd version.

@Heisenberg85

This is my Stereo mix, I could have cut the last chord off like it is on the record but I thought it sounded better with it left on :)

[cco43]

This is a fantastic mix. Well done, do you do this just for fun or are you a professional?

[sgtelzilcho]
