Beginning in 2017, Giles Martin embarked on a mission to bring a contemporary sound to the Beatles album, aligning these remixes with the 50th anniversaries of their original releases. This journey of sonic rejuvenation started with “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” in 2017, followed by the White Album in 2018, Abbey Road in 2019, and Let It Be in 2020, though the latter’s release shifted to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Remixing the albums recorded before “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” presented a unique set of challenges. Up until “Revolver,” the Beatles primarily utilized 4-track recording machines. This method often resulted in multiple instruments being recorded on a single track, complicating efforts to individually adjust or enhance specific instruments. This situation persisted to some degree in later albums like “Sgt. Pepper’s,” though the band’s shift to 8-track machines offered more flexibility.
A groundbreaking solution emerged from MAL, a state-of-the-art de-mixing technology, crafted by Emile de la Rey’s award-winning sound team at Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. Originally developed for Peter Jackson’s “Get Back” docu-series, MAL (Machine Assisted Learning) ingeniously isolates instruments recorded on a single track.
Giles Martin harnessed this innovative technology to create stereo remixes and Dolby Atmos remixes of “Revolver” songs.
What was Paul McCartney’s response to hearing the new Atmos mixes?
He loved them. The thing I try and do with the band is try and get the listener closer to them, so they feel like they’re interacting. I like the idea that you’re standing in the vinyl, you’re standing in the record, and you start falling into the studio. You suddenly feel as though you are in this record, but not in a gimmicky way. I’m a music fan. I want to feel the drums and feel the guitar. It’s the same balance as I’ve listened to before, but just positionally, it’s like being part of the band now.
