The Beach Boys - Darlin' (Stereo Mix)

A stereo mix of the Beach Boys classic that I created using the software audacity. The song was originally on the 1967 album 'Wild Honey' and was released as a single, charting at 11 in the UK and 19 in the USA (thanks to mysticmrsam for this info).

I should like to point out that this stereo mix is fan-made, and not an official release.

Creating this mix was actually pretty tricky to do because I only had the music from one of the Unsurpassed Masters CDs - I don't have access to the multitracks - so I had the task of seperating as much as I could and synching them together. As a result, there is a slight panning in Carl Wilson's vocals but it shouldn't be too noticable. I couldn't seperate the brass and the saxes, so I unfortunately had to keep them low.

You may be wondering why there is no brass and backing vocals at the begining, and why there isn't another chorus at the end. This is because they simply looped these parts onto the begining and end, so the mix I've created should be similar to the way it was originally recorded. I am currently trying to create another mix of this that is faithful to the original version.

Oh well, enjoy it for now.

Also uploaded is a fanmade stereo mix of 'Wild Honey', the title track from the same album as this.

This is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs and it is so seldom played on the Oldies radio stations. But I heard it this afternoon and it brought me here. Thank you so much for posting it. You did a great job on the re-mix! Keep up the good work. Now I'm gonna go on line to Amazon or Barnes & Noble and see if I can find a CD of Wild Honey! Thanks again for taking the time to mix this and share it!!!!!!

@laineycrusoe how do you make one?

[dumbangel67]

@laineycrusoe, hi Lainey. Yeah, I used the track from that CD to record lead and backing vox but the track is in mono. So I had to use some false stereo imaging which never quite sounds good.
