Hey all,
I just finished with Day Tripper, which was a tricky little thing to edit together...I have two different versions of the intro, and I'd like input as to which one works better.
http://home.uchicago.edu/~handmade/dtcomp.mp3 (don't go nuts on the file...make sure to DOWNLOAD it, not stream it!)
The first pass is my original edit of the intro. What I did was take the "rough mix" of Day Tripper on URT 2, process it so it resembled the new mix, and stuck the intro on the front of the Anthology version (up until the vocals come in). It was a bitch to do, as the Anthology mix is REALLY weird, but I think it worked OK.
This morning, however, I had a slight epiphany as to an easier way I could do it. The result: the second thing you hear is the same as the above for the first few seconds, but when the rhythm guitar comes in it edits to the little instrumental bridge/repeat of the intro motif before the "day tripper, day tripper yeah" fadeout. The cymbol smash on the drums then edits to an earlier part of the song (the instrumental part right before "she's a big teaser,") which then edits to yet *another* part of the song (a snippet right before "Tried to please her") before editing into the vocals as did the first pass. More complicated, and slightly less "honest" (i.e. I'm representing later parts of the song as the intro, whereas in the first example I'm using the intro from another version and "faking" it), but I think it sounds better, as there's less of me faking the mix (and importantly, none of me faking the *drums*, which were the difficult element to get right after the guitar tone).
The last little bit is the only other edit I had to make...the aforementioned instrumental repeat of the intro right before the final fadeout section has John talking over it, so I edited in a few bars of guitar...I think it worked OK.
Input! Gimme input!

Well, you've seen my e-mail about Walrus. It's interesting, and I like the end in stereo, but something doesn't quite sound "right" to me, and the EQ is just, well, terrible.
Contrast that to these Doors quad mixes I've been listening to, which, while they don't sound exactly like the stereo mixes, still seem to have a similar feel to them.
