C_Matt's "Queen II (HD Revision)"

Hi all! I got a good sounding WQ BBC from Queen Hub... it's something but good after all. I was listening to OB BBC version... and I don't think I can do a lot about it without a multitrack, but I'll give my best try to it. I'll do with QII something like a "beta testing", to hear opinions and critics to make last minute changes, and then upload it "officialy".

Cheers!

I've got a question...

You've been doing this for a very long time now. So honestly, aren't you getting tired? I expect your amazing releases as official ones, it's almost like rediscovering every song, and I've got terror that in your very own right you decide to put your time in something else, hehe

PS:
Three days for Christmas ;)

Actually, I really love doing this with every album, and every time I work with audio edition (my biggest hobby) I always get surprised and learn new fabulous techniques. I won't finish the album. Today I barely worked with FtS. I'm trying, but time flies by really fast, and I can't miss a day outside with this beach weather. I can't promise any upload date, but it'll be really soon, as I'm trying to finish it before new year. Tomorrow I'll try to start uploading the album songs "testing" with the three first songs, and I'll try to do a combo per day.

Here I upload a little preview of 'Father to Son'. Still I have to do some last fixes and write the whole changelog. It was really (and I really mean really) hard to work with a heavy clipped track as this one. I tried to delete the major part of it, but not all, because a lot of this is actually the guitar distortion and not clipping. But I tried to clean the drums at the heavy parts as much as I could and give a new fresh sound, a very messy sound, and a bigger enhancement on that awesome bass line.

.

Wow, you brought out the bass and drums beautifully there. Freddies vocals sound a bit harsh to the ears, but I don't have access to my monitors at the moment, so it could be that these speakers just have an annoying frequency peak there.

wow .... simply WOW !!!

this makes the waiting so unbearable, Matt :-)

indeed, as Oscar said above, loving how the bass (highlight: 20s) and the drums sound .... it´s like you had the complete multitracks and remixed the whole damn thing again !

as for the vocals, can´t find any particular issue there. I guess the problem Oscar heard comes because Freddie sings at the same tame a cymbal (panned left) is being hit.

bravo Matt, cada día mejor !!!

Wow, I love that drum and bass! So much clarity in it. You're a genius.

What makes the wait even more unbearable is that he's enjoying sunny days on the beach! It's the middle of winter here in the UK and it hasn't really got light yet, at 11am!

Joy +1000.

Million dollar mixer.

Unbelievable.

Seriously Lord Fickle? 11 am and it's dark? I've never experienced that. Wow.

Matt, enjoy the beach! Later you will have more time to end the mix.

Sorry!

Hello all! Thank you for your comments! I've read them all, really, thank you very much!

I don't have time (I have the dinner before Christmas in 15 minutes and I didn't took the shower since I really wanted to finish and upload this combo). Shit, I don't like doing things under hurry, but if I don't push myself it will take forever.

I officially open the album "sound check". Here are the first three songs. Some minor changes were made to WQ, some guitar bits more audible, or a louder guitar solo.

Don't have time to do a final EQ, don't have time to write the changes, only for uploading the songs lol!

I have to check a lot of minor things before upload the songs, so consider this an work almost finished but still in progress .

Here they are. Please, enjoy it really much and tell me everything you like and everything you consider that could be improved for the final upload.

Oh! And have happy holidays and merry Christmas!
Best wishes for you!

I've heard some kind of digital distortion in the oohs from 8:16 to 9:00. I don't know if it's 'cause of the MP3 or if the way you treat it.

Merry Christmas, have a delicious summer (if you know what I mean) and a happy new year!

Oooooh Matt!
Muchas gracias!
Today is a"busy"day with celebrations and all the family reunited , etc etc, but I could give it a quick listen and been blown away as usual!
Not much time for a deep analysis but I'm happy I noticed little elements I never noticed before, once more, like that piano on the
FtS outro section ?!!

Tks so much buddy, feliz navidad !!!!
