Good job! I love the live sound you got on this. I don't really know the original so I have nothing to compare it to. 1.5 hours!
 
Of course, Sticky Fingers is required in any respectable collection, but I've never heard Stripped.

1.5 hours!

Sounds like you had a lot of fun doing this and it's contagious.

Did you actually sample the crowd off the album, or is that some kind of patch? How did you make it sound so live? Not just the crowd, but the whole song. I've never tried that. Is it just reverb?

My 1.5 version didn't have the crowd noise on it. I added that at a little later. The crowd noise is off of a CD I have with all sorts of effects and sounds on it. Raink, wind, noises...etc. About 100 sounds. Put about 20 seconds of crowd noise on the front and end of it.

Recording it to sound live. Well, to start with ..... everything is a live instrument recorded from beginning to end. No cutting and pasting. No sampling. No fixing. Miced guitar cabinet. Miced acoustic drum set etc. I pushed the eq around 1 and 2k. I added the same verb and amount of it to every channel.... And I didn't mix anything for balance between insturments during the song. The way you hear it is almost exactly the way I recorded it... volume and dynamic wise.

One guitar is maybe too loud for a bit... or a vocal to quiet or loud... or some overtones. You never hear a live recording that sounds perfect. That sounds super clean etc. This one is far from each of those :) Studio recording would have had space and crispness. Drums would have been louder and clearer. I used keyboard and acoustic guitar in the background to make sure there was no dead space. Let drums fall into the mix... and just rock the house. I dunno.

One more thing. Stripped came out maybe 10 years ago?? Has a live version of Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" done by the Stones that is pretty good. You can probably go to CD Now or CD Connection on the web and find the album... and some 30 second clips of songs off of it.
