The Beatles - Remixing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

[@sorenahlback]

What I would like is pitch corrected remixes in stereo with base and drums in the middle. 🎸

[@thekitowl]

What a lovely guy Giles is.

[@StratsRUs]

I love what he has done.Beautiful it is

[@FredericAnderson-dg1jk]

I liked it when he said he wouldn't be doing this job if he wasn't George Martin's son. Not to take away from his real ability, it's hard to imagine anyone else could do this remix as well, but he exhibited a self-effacing charm that others taking advantage of nepotism often ignore.

[@JohnHancotte]

Sound of interview is very low. Would love it to be compressed or boosted somehow.

[@farrellmcnulty909]

Yes, how about a mono remix?😆😆😆

[@timmy707707]

Maybe there is an engineer somewhere nearby who can fix this....

[@justinherbert9146]

With the new audio technology developed by Peter Jackson's company they will re-mix everything again now that they can isolate instruments that had been recorded on one track originally.

[@disneyscott98]

The only albums that will need that technology are pre-Sgt Pepper. and I'm looking forward to each and every one!

[@garyogan894]

Hey Giles: ... Did Paul ever use capos for any of his bass parts? If so which titles please? ... I've always assumed the pics I've seen of him using capos on both bases were him just goofing around, not recording. Now however, I've changed my mind about that assumption, and can suddenly see him deciding it would be a capital idea to incorporate one o' them buggers to help facilitate a performance. ... If true, I'm surprised it's never mentioned by anyone. ... Thanks for your time in reading my question! ... Peace & Love from the great Pacific Northwest!

[@tijnonline6807]

Hi Gary, Giles will not read your message as this video is on my account. You will have to find another way to contact him ;-)

[@garyogan894]

I doubt that he's been instructed to avoid your page, so you'll forgive me for not assuming anything regarding what he does on account of you. Thanks for the response nonetheless - and thanks for posting the Giles thing!!

@@garyogan894 You're welcome ;-)

[@gutgolf74]

I have a question for Giles: How is it possible that you claim it's John doing the "aaah" when Sam Okell, who did the actual remix, explained in detail how it's Paul?? Don't you think the VERY NASAL high falsetto in the background does sound awfully like John??

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

You're obsessed with this topic.

[@gutgolf74]

@@scottandrewbrass1931 It's kind of a hobby, yes, correct!

Wait reAlly? I always thought it was John who did that part

[@gutgolf74]

@@Kos0818 You're definitely not alone in that false assumption...

[@Alligator6002]

I thought it was John all my life, but it's definitely Paul

[@pmdk1953]

When will the remixes be remixed?! 🤣🤣🤣

[@trouble5085]

I'm glad Giles is getting his due. His fathers' concerns about comparisons were understandable, but unwarranted.

[@MSMediaRotterdam]

What's wrong with the microphone sound?

[@tijnonline6807]

Nothing, I hear it very well.

[@JonahNelson7]

It's a little quiet and muffled you could say, there's just not much treble in the mix. That's usually how lav mics sound without mixing, and that's what they're using

[@kirbygene]

I have youtube turned all the way up to hear it

[@bwithrow011]

When I heard Giles' remixes on the 2009 The Beatles Rock Band project, I was knocked out especially with Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road. I purchased the 50th Anniversary remix of Sgt. Pepper. When I heard it, it was LOUD lacking the dynamics of the Rock Band remixes. I returned the 50th Anniversary Sgt. Pepper remix. If you can find the Rock Band CD's, get them. They are for genuine Beatles collectors

[@jugibur2117]

Wow, I didn't know that, so all the work of remixing again (?)

[@jacobgonzalez4419]

I think the Rock Band mixes were very rudimentary. They were working with final generation multitracks, post - reduction mix, etc. They basically mixed themselves! But I agree, they do sound good

[@bwithrow011]

The Rock Band mixes were the first attempts at remixing as opposed to remastering and those remixes were for a video game.

[@jacobgonzalez4419]

@@bwithrow011 Well no, they weren't the first Beatles remixes ever.

[@bwithrow011]

@@jacobgonzalez4419 Well which were the first remixes?

[@bwithrow011]

I didn't know the Yellow Submarine soundtrack had remixes

[@tijnonline6807]

It's on the cd Yellow Submarine Songtrack in 1999

[@knockedoutloaded279]

Does it sound better...cant wait for anthology remasters..will sound lots better...

[@Kos0818]

???

[@jacobgonzalez4419]

Does Giles actually know anything about audio?? The amount of uncomfortable deflecting he does is ridiculous.

[@pearsonlennon]

Producer 101: Mix will determine recording processes and viceversa... So you can re-mix to whatever extend you desire... Giles: my father was very aware of this, but I'm better than him 🤦‍♂

[@jamestilby2223]

VERY MUCH LIKE HIS GREAT FATHER HE GETS THINGS DONE PROPERLY 👍

[@alfching2499]

I Wish He Wouid Leave Things Alone

[@charlesbeyer7041]

Thanks Giles, it was interesting to hear it remixed, but honestly, it lost something that the original mix had. Sure we can hear the instruments and all more clearly, very good there, but that isn't how it was intended to be heard, it's an atmosphere that can't be duplicated by using digital technology. Digital is too literal, in a sense.

[@Caifo]

I disagree. As Giles says, the original stereo mixes weren’t given so much attention because very few people was going to listen to them and stereo was a quite unexplored novelty, and the 1987 CD mixes were crap. I like what Giles did to Sgt. Pepper, the white album and Abbey Road.

[@BenDover-st6gb]

You are nostalgic for the old mix, your childhood memories are associated with it. As Giles said, the new mixes are for future generations

[@Dr.Fiendish]

Yes, how do you keep getting these Beatle jobs when there are loads of better qualified people available?

[@flashtrash7830]

Well he addresses that point quite well at 22min 20sec - but ah! did you listen to the interview before commenting? Besides you assume a better sound engineer would do a better job. Maybe, but I think as the son of the producer that means he is more likely to honour the sound made back then through using better technology today to draw it tout, to get as close as one can get on modern listening devices, digital phones /headphones etc. to the studio sound. As a philosopher said, everyone is conservative about the thing they do well. Perfectionists don't use the wrecking ball approach. They want a premium result not a revamp. (revamps can happen too of course, but I think it's not right for a main anniversary edition).

[@CrabulousYT]

@@flashtrash7830 He probably is talking about the new mixes, and I gotta say, yeah its giles and sam okell's fault for sure. As someone who has experience making my own mixes of beatles songs using AI demixing and similar software to giles, giles used some really stupid tactics to try and make the sound better such as on Day Tripper using compressors wayyy to extreme and not changing much for Hey Bulldog and Revolution. There were few mixes that were actually good on the red and blue remixes and I am confused why you scorn the guy so hard for saying something that is pretty correct. I think the remixes of Sgt Pepper were pretty good, Revolver was okay, but the red and blue albums were just plain bad.

[@nasdkhan254]

The original stereo is better. Im playing it now & I played the Giles Martin remix twice last night ( he seems a nice bloke but the remix is a no no )
