    “Suddenly the studio wasn’t a functional place where you go and perform, it was also a place where you go up in the control room and create sounds for yourself that people hadn’t heard before.” - Giles Martin deconstructs how the sound of Rain was created by The Beatles in the studio.

    Damn, hearing Rain at the speed it was actually recorded, it sounds like late 70's/early 80's post punk. Showing how the Beatles were 10-15 years ahead of their time.

Hard to find to link but Ringo made a video on RUclips shot outdoors showing he hits 4s on the snare over 5s on the ride… technique that the legendary Joe Morello used to teach… Ringo acts less worthy than he really is in modesty.. but although age may be holding back now, he was capable of playing more than he’d ever let us see !!!

    “We want a deep, thick sound to the recording. How do we do this?”
    “Play it faster than you want it to sound then slow the tape down and record the slowed tape at normal speed”
    No one thought of stuff like that before the triumvirate of the Beatles, George Martin, and Geoff Emerrick. Hell to this day no one would think of doing it if they never did. It’s just not something you do when you produce a pop record.
    That’s why every band that was in business before the Beatles hit the scene were out of business by the time they nuked the rock and pop world.

    Paul dubbed the bass onto the slowed down rhythm track, it wasn't performed live (as is the case with a lot of his complex lines). It is a shame they included the bass in the real tempo release, because it gives a false impression of the process. Still a mind blowing speed for drums and guitars, but not quite as accurate to the real thing.

    the "original" speed is WAY TOO Fast, if that was the actual speed, everything just sounds weird/wrong (the drums, guitars, vocals etc doesn't sound right) You would need a capo on the 1st fret to play the song in that key. To me, it sounds like there is no capo anywhere since the chords ring out.

    It wasn't that fast. Sorry, but that's in Bb -- and they recorded it in A. (You can't finger that in Bb on a Guitar without a capo.) It sounds like the Chipmunks. I'm sure they COULD have played it that fast, but they didn't. The record is in G. They only slowed it down 1 whole step. I'm not sure why someone is perpetrating this fraud. "Paul is Dead" stuff again? 😂 Anyway... it's ridiculous to believe they played it that way. It sounds very suspect... 🤔
