David Novotny - Making of The Beatles Project (Documentary) [CZ tit.]

[@LeoSlider]

4 years later, and I'm still blown away. Not just your performance and idea, but your English is well done too.

[@coutinho3007]

Buy his album 😉

[@Simbetam]

I rewatch this video every few months. Its very informative and also very impressive how you manage to recreate a lot the styles and the sounds of the beatles. Its a surprise this video only has 14 thousand views at the moment. It deserves so much more, its obvious how much effort went into this project and into this video.

[@Miles1965]

This guy is a genius! More people with this much talent should go after this style of music, making 60s style!

[@wlflightlr]

Great job! Amazing attention to details, look forward to hearing the full album!

[@DarianClarkMusic]

As a fellow Beatles enthusiast I deeply admire what you've created here and they way you've analyzed the small things and executed your ideas so well!

[@MrCompaneros]

Really enjoyed watching this and the sounds sound great. Love your dedication and it’s given me some ideas!

[@Miles_ethan]

Really astonishing what youve done, this is Sublime. Im also very impressed with your melodies. Also getting real strings and horns also adds a extra layer of authenticity. And I really admire your proficiency on guitar, very diverse set of skills. Your solos are really what impressed me.

[@patch0062]

I come back every few months to re watch this, well done! It would be great to see a more in depth video of you mixing the songs.

[@itsayesfromme2669]

Me too, it's a great video. I love the passion in this music making.

[@btlmania64]

I thought I was a Beatle fan ! You take it to a whole new level ! This is absolutely amazing !!! The time , energy , skill and determination is just stunningly beautiful . Well done young man !!!!

[@o.ReiLeao]

Man! You did what every beatles fan would love to do, you're a fucking legend! Greetings from Brazil

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Thank you Brenno :)

[@o.ReiLeao]

David, may I suggest you to do a full video more specific about the whole mixing and mastering like the beatles, I am a musician myself and the youtube lacks about that (And I really searched) and you seems to figure it all like nobody else... I would love to watch!

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Did you watch the end of this documentary? I explain there how I mixed and mastered the songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lafSeJpjfa-Jr8k

[@davidnovotnymusic]

I showed in this documentary every important thing you need to know. I could show more details in mixing and mastering but it will not help you because every song is different. The basic mix you can watch in this video. There are two important things you need to do to mixing like that. The recording and the plugins. These two things are important because If you will record with modern mics and use different amps and guitars than Beatles, you cant mix it in the sound like this. A lot of important is also microphones placement specially during recording the drums.

[@o.ReiLeao]

I do understand you. I only suggested it because you made it seems so much easier than the others here on youtube, especially with this knowledge of the book, that unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere (I must say that mixing and mastering its my weak point). But again, I do understand you hahaha, keep the great work!

[@blekofficial4649]

Absolutely amazing! Good piece of hard work.

[@gordonhartley1463]

That's what I call ''passion.'' Fabtastic David!!

[@bobbyt9999]

You have created something that is totally amazing. I can't even begin to imagine how many hours you put in on this project. You take being a Beatles fan to another level!!! Congratulations sir.

[@Beatgeneration2010]

Hi David, for one guy with side men help you did some some job, I have watched this video a few times, I get more amazed the more I see and hear it from one person with a passion. You did yourself, your friends and your Dad proud. O am in awe of what you have achieved, just bloody Brilliant, BLOODY DAMN BRILLIANT! Well done, keep on doing what you are doing. The first refusal should be your First opportunity, then the second....and third, you will go places, just STICK AT IT! You will get to where you want to be! P.S. I am from Ireland 🇮🇪😀

Congratulations, man!! This is really impressive. You're an inspiration for us all.

[@TonyHickschick]

Wow! I love this documentary. I already had bought the album and it has become my current favorite. I knew the songs were in the style of the early and late Beatles but I loved learning about the recording process you went through. There are many ways you could have achieved this that would have been much easier, but I am really impressed you decided to use similar instruments and recording techniques as the Beatles did. I already appreciate the album but after learning all this, I will appreciate it even more. Thank you so much for doing this. I hope you do another album in the future. By the way , you speak very good English.

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Oh, thank you for your feedback and for all your support.

Good job mate, I like your enthusiasm. I can tell that this was a real labour of love for you to make this album. It doesn't matter if people say they don't like it because for every 1 of those there'll be loads more that do. I can appreciate the time, effort, and hard work that it must have taken to get all of the instrument tones and vocal harmonies sounding authentic to the Beatles, so good job and I hope you earn some financial reward through your album sales on iTunes 👍

[@davidwiggins8377]

I love the idea of changing the strings an octave higher for the 12 string. Good stuff!

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Hi, I am very fine. For the 3rd time? It is crazy man. Thank you

[@DeanPresley]

I want to do what you do, making Beatles songs. Do you have tips to start with?

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Try to write some piece of melody with guitar. Not necessarily to write the whole song. Small piece is enough and you must have good feel from it. Write more little pieces and than choose one which is the best for you and try to extend it.

[@DeanPresley]

@@davidnovotnymusic Thank you so much! You are a big star in my eyes! You are my absolute idol!!

[@DeanPresley]

@@davidnovotnymusic Are there also instrument that you say, you must have them if you want to record Beatles songs.

[@davidnovotnymusic]

@@DeanPresley its better to have them. But If you are beginner just focus on a song (melody, arrangement, lyrics). Use what ever you have. You can own the best gear and guitars but if you dont have a songs it sucks.

[@sinenkaari5477]

Hi from Finland David! This has been big inspiration for my music making and recording recently. My favourite song from the album is It's Not Like Before. That chord progression is so good (D# F#m G# A#). Im thinking of getting akg d19c copy for drum recording. Keep on rocking David!

[@magicseagull3151]

This is awesome, cheers David!!

[@liorb5625]

Hey David, i just discovered your channell, i watch the Documantary and i think its fantastic, i really enjoy it, im a singer songwriter myself, i also grew up on fifties and sixties music, mostly Elvis, Cliff Richard, The Shadows and later the Beatles too, i really wish i could have a home studio recording and record all my songs by myself, i dont have enough room and need lots of money to do it, but you gave me inspiration, thanks again

[@jamiegustkey2573]

This is great! Well done lad-👏🏻 you also have this Keith Moon from '64 look going on* {Edit*} - After watching this... Your work ethic, attention to detail and pure love and passion to do this project is inspiring to the nth degree. Really... Someone else said you're genius- I concur... On the grounds of the depth of all this and finished product. Man.... Well done indeed. Thank you*

[@syncout]

very enjoyable and informative, love what you are doing

[@rjmprod]

[@FrozedChicken]

I watched the entire documentary 👍🏼, and it was very inspiring for me, Please do more tips and more early era Beatles 🦕, I would love to help you but I think that’s impossible 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@davidnovotnymusic]

I think I showed in this documentary every important tips I know. Now it's about your skills, feeling and ears. Sometimes It's not going well. The chorus in A Good Looking Guy I found many hours. It's important to be patient and know when the melody you wrote is good.

[@FrozedChicken]

David Novotny Music did you know that I can’t change and a good looking guy are my favorites, you make look so easy that’s why I’m asking for more 😂 but I’m gonna rewatch the tips (I know it takes time)

[@nerdturas]

Hey David, I'm a big fan of your Beatles Project and you work with Drestanta and I would like to know if you could provide the bass tab for A Good Looking Guy. It's my favorite song in the album and it reminds me a bit of the Beatles' early recordings with Tony Sheridan. Greetings from Brazil :)

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Thank you man. I'll try to do it for you

[@SuperPreachers]

Fantabulous !!!

[@davidalexbyrne]

Have you made any videos on the process you went through after you had recorded vocals, guitars, other instruments etc and the processes you applied to those tracks like eq, reverb, compression and delay etc but more in depth, like taking a dry lead vocal you recorded and then applying those effects to that track. I'd love to see those types of videos. Do you have any like that or can you elaborate on this process in words taking one lead vocal or guitar track for a certain song.

[@davidnovotnymusic]

I have only this video. Im gonna try to tell you here. Each song has double lead vocal and double backing vocals. All vocals are send into the same group. In this group I used Fairchild compresor, Redd 51 desk for EQ, and very important is Briliance pack EQ (the green one). Boost +4db/10k. And than I added reverb. So all the vocals are mixed together the same way, not separately as nowadays. In the songs in the second half era I mixed lead vocals in one group and backing vocals in second group because later Beatles didn't sing together into one mic. I've always imagined The Beatles to record my song. On guitars I used the same plugins as for the vocals. In early era songs I used RS124 on "Lennon" guitar parts. Abbey Road did the same. Send me your email and I'll send you something which could help you. My email is [e-mail]

[@NickRocker]

Great job!

[@davidalexbyrne]

Excellent work and attention to detail. Well done. I would appreciate it if you could describe the type of reverb you added to your instrument and vocal tracks and also what was the distortion on the guitars in your revolver style song.

[@davidnovotnymusic]

David Byrne Thank you :) As a reverb I used Lexicon plugin, chamber reverb. The distortion on my guitars in Revolver style is directly from my amp. My amp has 2 channels. Hi and low channel. Hi channel is a little crunchy if you add more volume. Something like the guitar sound of Chuck Berry's Johnny B.Good

[@davidalexbyrne]

David Novotny Music thanks for that. Fair play and good luck in the future

[@rockymaldonado7758]

This is so cool

[@ExposingEvil_]

[@estabanb55]

Wow it's like making or recreating new songs just by each word they sing, I wonder if you can recreate the song now and then by John Lennon

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Estaban B good idea :)

[@el_sereno]

In the era revolver (It's Not Like Before) and sgt peppers, what microphone did they use to record the guitars and at what distance? Is it different from the early recordings?

[@theplectrums4887]

Hey David! Great Project! If you wanted a rickenbacker sounding bass, why didn't you use your Fender Bass? Both of them are solid body guitars.

[@davidnovotnymusic]

Hi, thank you. Because the sound is different. That would be strange for me to record Fender bass to songs in the style of Revolver or Sgt. Pepper. Violin bass nothing to spoil with The Beatles.

[@theplectrums4887]

Also, did you know Paul McCartney used a Fender Bass? Heres a picture: images.equipboard.com/uploads/source/image/7362/big_jazzbass02.jpg?v=1417596503

[@davidnovotnymusic]

I know, on White Album. John and George also played Fender bass when Paul played piano during Let It Be session.

[@theplectrums4887]

I didn't know that.

Congratulations, David! Your songs really sound as if they were something like "the Beatles' lost records"! And I even think that most of them wouldn't be out of place in their official albums. The documentary is also very interesting, and shows the effort you put in this. I'm hoping that someday Paul and Ringo will see what you've done, for it is a great homage. (I know how it is to strive in order to pay homage to an artist we admire: I've made an English version of a very famous nine-minute Brazilian song, that I finished recording and posted last November, in honor of its thirty anniversary [2017], and I would be very happy if I could show it to the author, if he were not dead...

[@rubenugarte8999]

I really loved your work What I would respectfully say is that I think you may have overcomplicated things with the chord progressions. Some of the songs doesn't need to have so many chord changes. Remember the hit singles of the Beatles were simpler. Only their album tracks became more complicated which is why they weren't singles
