Btw. those old Beatles recordings aren't bad mixes, many of them are very good. Right now I'm listening to the record single Eleanor Rigby by head phones, backside of Yellow Submarine. It's even pleasant to listen to such a hard left/right mix on headphones, quite psychedelic what they did to the vocal mix by separating it. I read that all Beatles recordings were remixed by compressing them to the loudness war, if so, then for sure the balanced hard left/right stereo mix won't be balanced and psychedelic anymore, since an important part of those mixings is the dynamic range. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
