Preparing audio…

What MG added

I used Logic Pro’s Stem Splitter to separate the original recording into workable parts, then enhanced the EQ of Jack’s vocals and bass. I corrected the timing to a 90 BPM click track before building a fuller production around the song.

  • New drum arrangement
  • A vocal double alongside Jack’s lead vocal
  • Big, Jeff Lynne-style backing vocals
  • Mellotron flute in the intro, inspired by the sound of “Strawberry Fields”
  • Piano and slide guitar
  • Cello and violin orchestration

Finally, I mixed the complete production into the finished version you hear here.
