Mark L discusses remixing BBs catalogue 'in the box'

[Alan Smith]

Cheers for the link - that's gold; seeing Mark L at work and getting a glimpse behind the curtain.

I've no doubt Mark was refering to the box - I'd hazard using 50 Big Ones cover was in lieu of available artwork (and I suspect the box cover art will take a similar approach).

[Andrew G. Doe]

Hmmmm...I dunno.

When was this video shot?  He talks about working on a box set for 2013, but then it immediately shows the cover to 50 Big Ones.  Why?  Then he proceeds to work on the stereo mix of "Darlin'", which was already released on said compilation.  No specific mention of Made In California; so it is a little unclear if he was referring to that elusive release or the already-released 50 Big Ones.  

So Mark was referring to a box set "to be released sometime this year" that had already been released ? Video was obviously shot after the Grammy shout last month. Not unclear at all.

Mark's exact words regarding the box set:

''What I'm currently working on is multi-volume career retrospective box for the Beach Boys that will be coming out, probably sometime in mid-2013'

How anyone misunderstood this is beyond me.

Exactly - it couldn't be anything else

Anyone seen the cover artwork for MIC yet? Me neither. Could be part of the reason…

[Sam_BFC]

Yeah I don't think we need to obsess over details such as why they showed the 50 Big Ones cover.  As Wirestone said, the video was essentially made to market the Steven Slate audio plug-ins that Mark is using, but it is cool that there was an added interest for the likes of us.

I hope Mark does another in depth feature with someone like Sound On Sound magazine at some point, like he did for the BWPS recording.

Yeah, it took me about 1/2 a second to figure it out.  They had to show something.  I don't understand the confusion; it's not rocket science or anything!

Oh, damn, it's beyond me too, Paulos!  How could anybody have missed what Mark said??  It's right there in the video for everyone to hear and see!

[sockittome]

Well I guess two discs could be considered 'multi-volume', and it does come in a box....

Carl certainly could sing the f*** out of song, couldn't he?  Man.

His vocals on the Wild Honey album knock me out. I am impressed by those more so than any other thing he did. Just my preference...but I think that the title track is his best vocal ever. Some people think its his worst ??

Also, I really like Mark's stereo mix. I love how the music and vocals jump right out of the speakers. Darlin' definitely benefitted from a stereo mix.

Slow down there, egghead!  Quit making fun of us dumbfolk! 

I just thought the whole presentation was a tad misleading.  That is all.

To those who are clueless, yes. That really shouldn't be anyone who reads and participates on these boards, though.

It doesn't really matter in the end, the video was not about promoting the Beach Boys or any release past or present of the Beach Boys. It was for the software plugins for mixing music that was originally recorded on analog equipment.

It just so happened that he used a track of the Beach Boys, that doesn't make a difference in terms of what the video was promoting. It may be misleading--to those who have inadequate comprehension skills.

[Mikie]

And the Beach Boys track in that video, which sounded different than any released version, was worth listening to and commenting on.  That's what mattered to me.
