Why.... ? Why me .... 60's sound
Had to be in they'r spirit ..... , iiiit must... be.. Can't resist....... Can listen to it again and again ..... , will not get tired of listening, why ? I love the 60's sound wish i could find the magic to the sound and replicate it Guess spring Reverb was used a lot in those days, don't know the rest... what is the characteristic's of the sound / style I can hear , but it is hard to replicate ! * Shakin' Stevens & the sunsets - No other baby not even Paul McCartney, or others can compare at all... ------------------------------------------------------------------ maybe the " original ", but it's quite different. 3 other examples of 60's sound : Sandy Posey - i Take it back Brian Hyland -Ginny come lately Duane Eddy - RaunchyLove all ... Happy listening ;-)

Hi
Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band?
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Hi,
They had a song that went like that, no? Surprised that Craig did not beat me to it!

Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

I think the basic thing is a certain element of imperfection (by todays standards), that's what makes it lively. It's never(?) overproduced and sterile, it sounds like played by humans. Not compressing it flat is another thing, and that goes to individual instrument sounds, too. The guitars don't sustain like organs etc.

SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Spector went for big productions, a few years earlier Joe Meek went for pushing the ideas and technology and by the end of the decade Hendrix, Cream, Floyd etc, were being recorded and produced using techniques and technology not available even at the start of the 60s. The 60s covers a huge range of styles, in production almost as much as genre, yet there is a common "feel" to the overall sound despite technological advances such as solid state consoles replacing valves, huge improvements in tape recording etc. and the production and engineering possibilities they opened up. Which makes me wonder if an important thing they had in common was the need to produce and master material so a cutting lathe and turntable could handle it. That and the thousands of tiny distortions and changes introduced by the range of hardware audio went through before finally being released, each bit of kit adding its own "imperfection".
Sonar Platinum 64bit, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, I7 3770K Ivybridge, 16GB Ram, Gigabyte Z77-D3H m/board, ATI 7750 graphics+ 1GB RAM, 2xIntel 520 series 220GB SSDs, 1 TB Samsung F3 + 1 TB WD HDDs, Seasonic fanless 460W psu, RME Fireface UFX, Focusrite Octopre. Assorted real synths, guitars, mandolins, diatonic accordions, percussion, fx and other stuff.

The secret to the 60's (and 700's) sound: real drums, real amps moving air in a nice'sounding room, captured by microphones that today cost as much as a used car.
Minimal overdubs, no pitch correction, no quantization, no copy-and-paste arrangements, no canned loops, no comping.
I've tried to replicate it, but it never fails - I can't resist the urge to "fix" everything.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

But it's certainly doable with todays technology...absolutely. Just don't give in to those urges Bit. Stay strong.
