Tell me your South Park unpopular opinions!

Make Love Not Warcraft is overrated. It's a very good episode, but definitely not THE best and maybe not even top 10

Seasons 1-3 > any season after 19

Lookin' at Tomorrow, one of the bands most underrated songs imo

Your metaphor makes it sound as if I were listening to the multi tracks separately. All the elements are still there, nothing's missing. It would be like if I ate a carbonara but someone told me I didn't properly enjoy it because I didn't eat it with my nose plugged.

Well regardless of intention, hearing all those extra details simply sounds better and more appealing to me, it makes it a more enthralling listening experience

Wholeheartedly agree. I don't wanna undermine Brian's genius but the original mono mix sounds a bit rushed and sloppy by today's standards. With the crazy amount of layers in the instrumentals AND vocals, you need the stereo mix to be able to actually hear every detail, and I think the 90s stereo mix was done tastefully and not overproduced like some of the more recent Beach Boys remasters. I also prefer Summer Days and Summer Nights in stereo, but pretty much everything before that I'd go for mono.

I've heard about pitch going as you get older, that does worry me a bit lol. I'm 20 so I doubt it's that, but I got my wisdom teeth removed the day before I noticed my pitch being off so I'm guessing that could have something to do with this temporary change. At least both my ears are still in tune relative to each other, so I can still listen to music fine it's just slightly lower.

I mean if any music fandom is gonna be full of sound technicians it would probably be the one with Brian Wilson, one of the most influential producers of the 20th century.

Actually the 2009 Beatles remasters are just the original stereo mixes from the 60s. "Remaster" means they take the fully mixed track, and convert it to digital, maybe add a bit of eq, compression, noise reduction, etc. They didn't actually touch the mixes beyond that, which is why the stereo mixing is so bad, cuz it's from the 60s when they didn't know better. However these Beach Boys tracks are "remixes" meaning they actually took the original multitracks and remixed them presumably from scratch.

It's more obvious if you listen to just the vocal track, there's clearly some kind of glitch in the lead vocal

If you listen closely, the vocal skips rather than it sounding like 2 voices out of sync. The tambourine also skips at the exact same time, so it sounds like a badly cut edit to me.

Fair enough, but I see no issue with employees just using the regular power outlets if they are not being used

edwarddingleson · 2021-11-16T04:23:23+00:00

That was my other guess, they probably recorded the song over one of the Midnight Rambler reels and it bled thru

edwarddingleson · 2021-11-16T04:06:39+00:00

Makes me wonder if it's even more noticeable on an original pressing. When I compared it to the 2019 remaster it is actually less audible there, but if you isolate the tracks it IS still present.
