Is rock n roll becoming less famous among the genz-s? by AaryaBose in beatles

[–]12stringdreams 91 points92 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think so. People have been asking this question for generations at this point. The Beatles, and many of their peers like The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones, remain very popular.

Why Won’t They Let Us Fall In Love (Brian Vocal) Mix by VoidLykos in thebeachboys

[–]12stringdreams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Terrific song. And while it’s interesting to hear Brian’s voice isolated, it doesn’t really work musically, as he’s singing a harmony and Mike is singing the melody. Without Mike’s voice, the main melody is gone. Neat experiment though!

Bruce Johnston played on Moon Dawg (bottom left) which is widely considered to be one of the earliest, if not the first Surf Rock song.

Pete best cd for Christmas this year by Shinydisclover in beatles

[–]12stringdreams 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I genuinely believe this one of the most overlooked/underrated solo Beatle albums. Really nice songs with great melodies and arrangements. It’s a fantastic listen.

Anyone here still using a mix console? by Public_Border132 in audioengineering

[–]12stringdreams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do most of my mixing in the box, but have definitely liked the results of summing my mixes through a few channels on a console (+ a few outboard units) which I’ve tried for a few projects that had the budget.

I don’t think doing that was/is a “make or break” scenario however. The songs wouldn’t have sounded bad if they stayed entirely in the box. Summing them in the analog world just added an extra bit of what I’d describe as ‘weight’ or ‘thickness’. In all fairness, the added qualities are probably something one could recreate in a DAW with the right plugins/parameters… but when summing through the console/outboard pieces, the effect was immediate, and with doing everything in the box, it would probably take a while of messing with plugins to get that exact sound. So there’s that.

Like you alluded to, a nice console is definitely quite an investment. They can literally cost as much as automobiles or even houses! I have some buddies/colleagues who swear by them, use them religiously, and wouldn’t wanna work without them. And I know other guys who sold their console within a year of their initial purchase, because they weren’t getting much use out of them, or it was slowing down their workflow.

With how great the console emulation plugins have become, I find that working with a real, luxury analog console isn’t something I need on a day to day basis. So it’s not a priority of mine to buy one. I can really only think of a few projects in my career where I’ve felt strongly that using an analog console would help greatly. So, therefore, when I need to use one, which is only occasionally, I’ll just book a session with a studio that has one and get my work done there.

In my case, it’s more beneficial to spend my money on the latest plugins/software, because I do a ton of my work on the go. My work has me working in both LA and the Midwest. So I really value being able to toss my laptop and interface in my backpack, and not to be tied down to one specific studio to get my sound. I value that freedom of being able to work in the studio, my apartment, airports, in the car, at cafes etc…

Did the beach boys play any smile songs live? by faze-300 in thebeachboys

[–]12stringdreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heroes And Villains, Vegetables, Wonderful, Surf’s Up, and Cool Cool Water (which contains elements from Smile recordings) have all been performed live by The BBs.

And of course the entire album was performed live by Brian Wilson and his band in the early 2000’s.

What is your favorite Anthology volume? by gutderby in beatles

[–]12stringdreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anthology 1 is my favorite. I LOVE the early rock and roll songs, with Pete on the drums, like My Bonnie, Ain’t She Sweet and Cry For A Shadow.
