I just did another little Feel Flows video: May the powers that be weigh in about whether to just keep going here when I do a video, or whether I should make a new post for every video, or what.Thanks for watching! This one is about Tears in the Morning. JH, I'd be most honoured if you were to keep going here. It would keep everything in one place for ready reference and give the videos and the accompanying comments a degree of continuity. I commented on this at EH, where the comments regrettably are thin on the ground these days. Hopefully that will change when you resume the full-on, no-holds-barred tutorials.

In the drive to keep all these BW/BB videos in one place, here's JH's latest offering, a sneak preview of the horns/brass on five tracks from Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!). That's everything horn-fuelled on the album except "Rhonda" (see earlier in this thread). Now here's a gentle reminder to those who appreciate what Joshilyn is doing and haven't donated yet: check out the Bass Sax Fund at www.joshilyn.com and help her acquire this splendid instrument for her recreation of "California Girls"! |

I think it's a good idea to gather all the pre-upload documentation of Joshilyn's stunning full recreation of the track of "Let Him Run Wild" in one place, starting at the end of the line with her YouTube blurb: "One of Brian Wilson's greatest productions. "This one was very hard to get close enough to correct for my standards -- this is the perfect nightmare for me, the session has only been clip-bootlegged in low quality, the track has unusual reverb routing on it, and we are missing the AFM documentation for instrumentalists. Nevertheless, thanks to some very educated guessing and trial-and-error, I think I've put together the track. "Note that I'm torn on whether there are two guys on the vibes, playing a total of 5 notes. The video has me doing the top three voices, but there is another vibe in there filling out the other two notes (if they're even there in the first place.) More notes to come." The following pre-upload question from JH on another forum had been aimed at one poster in particular, who failed to acknowledge it let alone try to answer it: "On Let Him Run Wild, from what I can pick up from the various sources available to me, had a sort of unusual routing scheme to the 3-track, and I'm wondering if you can, A.) Tell me if I'm more or less right, and B.) if I am right, if you have any insight into the methodology behind doing it that way. "It sounds to me like the electric guitars are essentially multed and then have two layers of reverb going to them, and it's possibly the same with the acoustic guitars, although that could be down to bleed, which seems pretty heavy on this track especially. "With everything else, it certainly could be leaking/bleed into other mics, but I have always assumed that the electric guitars went direct like 95 percent of the electrics did in those days, in which case it is puzzling to hear them on one of the tracks with light reverb (along with the dry-ish drums and the basses) and then again in heavy reverb on the track with the Piano and Vibes and the other stuff. "Does that sound like an accurate assessment of what's going on? Is it possible they routed the direct guitar signals to the drum/bass buss, sent some of that signal to that send's echo send, and then also routed the guitars to the piano/vibes track's echo send as well? "Regardless, do you think it sounds like EMT on the heavier reverb return, on the vibes/piano track? It has a very unique quality on the higher electric guitar. "Anyway, I'm always curious what was going on when I run into something that doesn't quite follow the norm -- I'm trying to transcribe the arrangement into a full score, so it's getting the hard listening treatment now." Second try: "Well, I still can't figure out exactly what was going on here, but I realized the same thing is happening on California Girls; Carl's guitar is mostly dry (but not completely) on one channel, and pretty much all plate return on another channel. If it weren't 1965 I would suggest that Carl had his guitar running through a reverb pedal on the way into the board, and then that signal's echo buss got patched to a different channel. But as it is, I don't know what to make of it. Can't figure out what two separate reverbs would be doing in mono." To be continued, I understand. |

Just a question: why would I be grass, and you a power mower? I feel like this is something everyone else understands. I don't get it.
I'm an elevator operator, and I'm gonna ride you up and down.

Sticking to my policy of keeping all things "Power Mower" in one place, here is the thread devoted to JH's "full instrumental recreation video" of "Let Him Run Wild". And this latest video gives you a link to a folder with the multi-tracks of JH's recreation of "Help Me, Rhonda". Talk about an act of generosity!  |
