The most stunning Beach Boys AI I've heard yet

From Dae Lims, a superb Good Vibrations AI stereo remix.

Aside from the stereo, can somebody bullet point the tweaks in this? I can't tell the difference between this and the 26 other releases of this track.

Quality of all of the lead vocals are upgraded. Full stereo separation of the background vocals (not without artifacts at times, unfortunately).

And, well, just my take on the overall mix. I got almost all of the instruments separated and remixed it from scratch.

Tasteful remix. Well done daelims.

Thanks so much!

A great mix and another good example of using AI well. Personally, I think this mix is a dramatic improvement on the official stereo mixes released so far. Past stereo attempts of GV have remained quite muddy and have limited separation (all for very obvious reasons), but this is both clearer and has better width and separation throughout - great work Dae Lims!

Yeah, it might be just because I'm limited to YouTube output, but I can't really tell a difference.

As with his remix of "The Little Girl I Once Knew," Dae Lims is a little airier here than what one's ears have become accustomed to from years of listening to the mono versions, but there is a great deal to recommend this--the clarity of the lead vocals is truly astounding, and the echo chamber effect on Mike's "Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations..." is simply out of this world.

I think the "good good good good vibrations" line might still be better panned across the spectrum (its first entry sounds a bit less powerful than what we've heard all these years--it seems punchier in its subsequent iterations)--but that's just a quibble. Overall, it's definitely the best modern mix, and it's great to see the ongoing enthusiasm in the YouTube comments.

More, please!

Dae Lims GV is fantastic, and IMHO it should be integrated into the Dae Lims SMiLE.

This "Good Vibrations" stereo remix has AI vocals on it; I don't want to presume who noticed this or who didn't.

I was under the initial impression based on the title of the video that perhaps it was only using AI as a splitter/separation tool. But something immediately sounded off on the vocals. Subtle, but off. And, in fairness, it does state in the description of the video that it has AI vocal enhancements.

It wouldn't really make sense then to try to compare this to officially-released stereo remixes.

New from Dae Lims, an audio upgrade of a Brian track from 1987.

Holy cow have you all heard this yet?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t3EM6W7BZY8&pp=ygUYVGhlIHN1cnZpdm9ycyB3aWNoIHN0YW5k

I can’t find any information on ‘Wich Stand’ or any demo tracks (read it was a song Brian gave to the Survivors but I can’t find anything on that). Any info/links would be appreciated!

Seriously, I cannot believe this is AI - sounds spot-on beach boys. Even Mike’s lead dual vocal with some discrepancies in the timing - sounds vintage.

[Rebel]

I would not say spot on. But very very good. The backing vocals are the only part that makes it sound a little off. I still think it sounds damn good. I had this on in the car and a good friend who is pretty deep into the Boys assumed it was merely an unreleased track. So this definitely gets a pass. I love constructing alternate and or unreleased albums (and this period had a ton of stuff to construct a great album) so I will use this track in the future.

Dae Lims - all that I ask and beg of you is A Day in the Life of a Tree with Dennis vocals to hear what that may have sounded like.

Finally, new from Dae Lims. The Night Was So Young.

[Don Malcolm]

Thanks, Joel! Or, as Dae Lims titled it: "That's Not The Night Was So Young."

A wonderful surprise and a sublime Xmas gift to those who've always wanted to hear what this would sound like "a la sixties"...

[MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm]

This is super cool, and in a weird way it makes me appreciate the 1977 version that we got even more.

[Joel Goldenberg]

And another one! Clearer sounding versions of Brian demos.

More clearer demos.

These are golden. Actually listenable.

[HeyJude]

There's actually a great sounding version of that '76 demo tape circulating (and some of the tracks are in pristine quality on Brian's website), so I don't see a need for an "AI assist" on those tracks. That's such a powerful, meaningful tape of Brian's and the group's; I'm not really into messing with that one (beyond spiffing up the master tape for an official release).

I think "City Blues" (and "Oh Lord") would benefit greatly from the Peter Jackson/MAL/"Now and Then" treatment simply to pull apart the piano and Brian's voice and balance them out and clean them up. This "AI assist" version *almost* does that, but it sounds too futzed with. Would love more notes on the "cleaned up" demos beyond "AI assisted"; the AI vocal assist on these is obviously far, far more subtle than something like all those "60s Brian sings a 70s song" tracks, but I'd be curious to know what was done on these beyond using the AI to extract/isolate things.

Great, non-invasive work is being done by homebrew mixers with using AI to isolate parts. There are some *amazing* remixes of the early Beatles albums from someone named "Glider"; some of the best remixes I've ever heard. I continue to believe *that's* the perfect use of AI in the vintage audio realm.

This must surely feature already - I couldn't see it in those I checked. Played the link on my phone at The Final Wave event to so many people - everyone was blown away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RIX1pGkFq8

Walk On By/Are You There

Love it so much! Beautiful, beautiful music.

Looks as though Dae Lims has been very busy in his lab...and has been focused on backing tracks.

Fifty (50!) of them, to be exact...

He's sure to "sell a million units"....on May 25th. 

How did that old phrase go..."be there or be square"?
