- Of course, that would be great! I guess that's kind of a similar dream to
- the one I have of being allowed into Abbey Road to remix all the tracks, but
- I'm pretty sure that one will never happen! Yours is a bit more realistic,
- but still a ways off. The advantage to mine, though, is that you could
- isolate more instruments and change the remix more. Why? Think about all
- the reduction mixdowns that were being done in the Sgt. Pepper time and
- after. One track on the final 4 track tape might have been 4 tracks itself
- on an earlier tape. That's one of the reasons the stereo mixes aren't as
- good. When they did reduction mixdowns, they did them without regard to
- stereo imaging (obviously, because they were only concerned with the mono
- at that time), so there wasn't a whole lot they could do for the stereo
- mix once they got down to that point with the final 4 track tape. With
- today's equipment, you wouldn't need reduction mixdowns. So, someone should
- go back to those previous tapes and do more mixing with them, then add
- back in the other tracks. With the technology of today, I'm sure it can be
- done. Imagine how cool the stereo mixes would sound then!
