    Bridge Over Troubled Water topped the charts in over ten countries and received six Grammy Awards at the 1971 Grammy Awards, including the Album of the Year. The album has sold over 25 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time and at the time of its release, the best-selling album ever. It has been ranked on several "greatest" lists, including number 172 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list in 2020. Despite the accolades, the duo decided to split up, and parted company later in 1970; Garfunkel continued his film career, while Simon worked intensely with music. Both artists released solo albums in the following years. Bridge includes two of the duo's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful songs, "Bridge over Troubled Water" and "The Boxer", which were listed on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.

    Lead vocal track edited to normalize volume level throughout the song. Volume maximized without clipping. Volumes and timing adjusted in other tracks as well. DAW mix saved. That's the best I could do with the mix. Hoping you guys like it. If so, it still needs to be published. Thanks again for this chance to optimize the sound of this collab. Vocals are just exquisite. Really outstanding, guys!

    Hi, very beautiful. I hear the voice only on the right and it sounds very strange, I don't know if it's intentional.

    @Maurizio: Thanks for mentioning this. I kept the balance set as it was before . I assumed it was you who wanted your tracks panned in this way, so I left it like that. Maybe it was stubass who changed the panning on that track originally. We can center them both if you prefer. Also, Stu wanted more volume on your main vocal, so we boosted that as best we could without causing clipping. We can center both vocal tracks, as you wish.
