The Pop songs, Music by Lennon and MacCartney (the Beatles - 40th anniversary ). I'm a big fan of them many years, are you?

Just for fun, we can enjoy these instrumental songs.

Edit: I did remove the tracks...Due migh has Copyrights Issue...

great production, but why are you concentrating so much on 'totall controll'?
It could be a matter of esthetics tho

it's good production in terms of balance and general mixing..

in terms of artistic aesthetics... I'd tune it a bit down on the drum reverbs.. and liven up the piano lead. It all seems a very robotic, with the quantizes. The strings are also very "synth"-ish.

Cool! Thanks Hubird and Ken for great comments and inputs.
I will correct the Drum Reverb as Ken suggested and might do some enhancements needed for Pianos and strings.

again, thanks for listening,

Excellent recreations.

very good production. The horns on Let It Be give it a 'muzak' vibe, but maybe that is what you were going for?

What are you using for the drum sounds?

manfriday,
The Drum is as sample Libs.
Just for fun and for our user group ONLY!
You can have drum samples as follows link in case you are interested, it's pretty dry and dynamic samples, inserting some EQ/Compressor as needed.

perfect recreation.
a bit of reverb is still missing on the drums.

I like the Lennon tracks very much, too.

Hifiboom, may be the Drum is needed on your Plate Reverb? (Kidding!)

Cool to hear from you, Shroomz
These tracks also take advantage of your Scope's Devices! (Thanks)
Yes the Abbey Road album sounds great! I have done a few of them.
Which (Abbey Road's) song is your most favorite, BTW?

Regards,

LongStudios

You already a posted a file of my favourite Abbey Road track 'Come Together'.

What an incredible baseline in that track. 'Here comes the sun' is great too, infact A LOT of Abbey Road is really something special.

Cool, Shroomz!

Here comes the sun is great song!

the implementation still remains quite "ouch" in terms of sound and performance.. would do great if these were intended as karaoke accompaniments... still, sounds much too MIDI + GM ish to me. Tried loose quantizing? Like iterative quantizing in cubase.

What GM sound bank are you using anyway? You should stay away from that stuff. I'm pretty sure that even if you took a SC-88 and ran each track through appropriate effects, you'd get decent results. Instead of "master reverb" and "master chorus". I think Roland's XV series have better GM-style sounds that are organized in GM style, but sound much more modern. Also, check out samplitude 2XL, or the newest Sonik synth. If you have the budget, check out Colossus.

Thanks for the comment and good advising, Ken.
I have another arrangement and mixing with some enhancements for the acoustic instruments, such as Piano Acc, Guitar Acc, Sax and Violins.
The Mix should be now clean and dry (I know that you referred to).
I also agree with you about the GM and "MIDI Sequencer" kind of issues...

BTW, Does the Roland's GM or Colossus's sound FAT like these tracks?

Enjoy it,

I'm listening to Let It Be. It sounds like elevator music. It's not an improvement over the original arrangement (although it borrows from it).

It's not legal to be posting this here.

Thanks braincell,
I think that you are right!
I just removed it...It was a part of Karaoke backing track...So that it makes easy to sing along...

You need permission from the author read this:

Copyright subsists for a variety of lengths in different jurisdictions, with different categories of works and the length it subsists for also depends on whether a work is published or unpublished. In most of the world the default length of copyright for many works is generally the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. Copyright in general always expires at the end of the year concerned, rather than on the exact date of the death of the author. (The right to reclaim a copyright--or "terminate the transfer" of a copyright--commences and ends on the anniversaries of exact dates in the United States.)

In any event, I am a Beatles fan and I know many. None of them would like your arrangement because it is bland and not at all original.
