This is super interesting
Some guy on YouTube has stripped back and rebuilt roll over lay down. I have no idea how but he must have had access to the master tapes or some powerful software because the clarity in the guitars and performances are incredible

No stems from the original tracks used |

Really? I didn’t listen alongside the original.
I thought the same till the vocals came in and from memory the solo was pretty similar to the hello recording.
But as always I bow to your knowledge bud 👍🏻

I'll be honest here. I don't really care how synthetic it is. Most remixes are anyway. Knob twiddling to obtain a better, or at least a different, sound. This sounds good to me and if my ears like it and I enjoy it, they can play around with it all they like. In the dark old days (i.e. the 70's to those who weren't there  ), I was always of the view that music should be, and pretty much was, organic; played almost live in a studio setting. Then I saw a documentary on TV around 1979 (I'm guessing the year by the way!) showing Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe recording and I was really disappointed and evidently very naïve. They were adding guitar parts and over-dubbing and all sorts to get to the final version of whatever song it was. I've since change my opinion, of course, and I don't care how music is recorded as long as I like the end product. I think you may find the late, great George Martin and The Beatles might agree  👍 |

Syntehtic is not the same as adding overdubs. Not to me, at least. My comment was to state that these are not the original multi tracks and are artificially recreated ones.
In the end, what matters is if one enjoys the final product, regardless of how it was made.
Overdubs are a very common practice, since forever (we can invoke George Martin and The Beatles here, yeah).
And lots of remixes do use the original multi tracks (and, again, we can invoke George Martin and The Beatles here too, for example).

I just liked the word "synthetic" . I thought it was a great choice and pretty much summed it up 👍 |
