With the end of the year so near, I feel that this video would be a good way to end it on a good note! So, here it is, my final video of the year, a restored version of the acoustic demo "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon. I can honestly say, without any doubt, that I went all out on not only the song, but the video itself! The song took forever to merely bring the vocals more forward, as well as many other complications, but after much work I was able to pull it off, and am ...

Here is a song that still catches my attention and had real potential. The song is called "My Baby Left Me, That's Alright (Mama)" and it's by The Beatles. It was recorded during the Get Back sessions in 1969. I can understand why it wasn't on the Let It Be album (wouldn't go well with the other songs), but had they titled the album Get Back, it might have worked, along with many other songs. It's pretty obvious what was done: cleared out any hiss, took out any other noise or distortion ...

Here is a restored piano demo of the song "She's a Friend of Dorothy" by John Lennon. I can't remember when it was officially recorded, but what I do know is that it has been one of the most frustrating tracks to work on (whether it should have been or not). I ran into so many issues and had so many failed attempts, particularly when it came to bringing the vocals more forward, On a computer it may sound fine, but when you really get up close to it, you are able to notice all the crackling ...

Here is a restored piano demo of the song "Free As A Bird" By John Lennon. This is merely my take on it, because I had to keep it true to the original but keep it interesting at the same time. Not always the easiest task to pull off. However, I went all out on this one and feel I did a pretty decent job. I hope you guys enjoy the video. On a side note, I will be taking a short break from making videos, but will be back (going to try before the end of the year). Please feel free to rate and ...

Here is a studio take (which John calls an overdub take) of the song "I'm Stepping Out" that was recorded sometime in 1980. This song's quality wasn't the greatest, so it took some time just to get it to sound decent (it's something that's beyond my control and/or abilities). However, I did my best. Plus, I've wanted to do this one for quite sometime but failed in previous attempts, but I think I pulled off a pretty good job considering the conditions of the audio quality. I removed all ...

Here is a restored studio take of the song "There You Are, Eddie" by The Beatles. By request, I put 30 seconds worth of the original version before playing the newly restored one (or at least done to the best of my abilities). This restoration wasn't easy but kinda fun at the same time. There wasn't too much white noise to clear out, but the quality was still poor (though not horrible). I applied an effect and put a slight echo over that, and then slightly raised the pitch. I do hope you ...

Here is an alternate version, fully restored in quality, of "Get Back" by The Beatles during the Get Back sessions. It was a pretty basic clean up, but I had to amplify the left channel to match up with the right because the track was too much on the right channel. Once that was balanced out, I amplified the whole song again (both channels) and brought more clarity to the audio (both vocals and instruments). Then I cleaned up the white noise and hissing in the vocals, and applied a light ...

Here is a restored studio take of John Lennon singing "Gone, Gone, Gone" or as some know it as "Well That Must Be My Gal" with the rest of The Beatles' crew during the Get Back Sessions. I wanted to keep this track simple and clean, but sharp and crisp, with an updated sound quality (to the best of my abilities of course). I cleared up the white noise and brought all the elements a bit more forward. Also, and very much important, this track's audio had to be amplified by 9db, the largest ...

Here is a restored, and enhanced, version of the unique and rare demo "Child Of Nature" by The Beatles that was written during a visit to India and later recorded at George's home in Esher, which is located in Surrey, England in 1968. This was a fairly simple clean up, but I kept running into the same problem: how to finish it! I went through so many different styles of sounds and effects and so on. I'm still unsure of how this version turned out, or even how I feel about it, but it was the ...

Here is the acoustic demo, fully restored in quality, of "Dark Horse" by George Harrison. For this restoration, I brought the vocals more forward, cleaned up any white noise I could detect, applied a couple of effects, and double tracked it. I hope you guys enjoy the song, and that I didn't over produce it. Please feel free to rate and/or leave comments.
