Strumbo

Published on 24 Nov 2025 / In Rock / 50s & Vintage Rock & Roll

"Help!" was written by John Lennon with some assistance from Paul McCartney. During an interview with Playboy in 1980, Lennon recounted: "The whole Beatles thing was just beyond comprehension. I was subconsciously crying out for help".

Okay, the 138th take is a keeper, though imperfect. Apparently George had trouble with the same guitar part too, so I'm in good company. I applaud everyone who took part in this strong effort.

All tracks are in and mixed. Let me know if you think someting needs adjusted. Yoshi, there's a lot of electronic noise on your BV track. It's very evident if you isolate the track in the DAW. Can something be done?

Cool, sounds cleaner. Still some high end phasing but I believe that's embedded in the tracks and possible some tracks were recorded at 128KBPS vs. 256kbps (CD quality). I sure wish Bandhug would DEFAULT all recorded tracks to 256kbps vs. 128 which is the default and at 13x times compression. Pointless..

@Revup67: I find the sound in studio after publishing is not the same as in the DAW, and of poorer quality

Hi Strumbo My voice is too weak and soft, so I need to use a strong compressor to bring it forward. The noise is the result of the compressor. I don't want to make it any weaker, so I'll leave it as is. If it bothers you, feel free to delete my track. I don't mind it at all. (This phenomenon is also common with the Beatles' isolated tracks.)

Thanks, Ryan. Good job.

Gentlemen - The mix of the tracks needs a rework - phasing and shifting is occurring and sound is degraded. bass is too up front in the mix, dynamically it needs Help (pun intended).

I agree. Someone will have to do some mixing and engineering once the last track is applied in a day or two.

One last guitar overdub and done.

I added EQ to the lead guitar to lower the bass. Then I mixed the whole thing again. If it's OK, please remove the BT and publish it with Studio Screen.
