I'm having a Stevie day so random thoughts...
1. Can someone please remind me what year the Chanel Chanel demo is from? I know it's been discussed but I forget and am too lazy to go back and check. 2. I love the Nothing Ever Changes demo when she goes "I can turn all your muuuuuusic on". It's different than the way she sings it in the studio version. She doesn't hold the music note that long. And why did she change the word little girl to little boy? Sneaky little thing! 3. Why does Stevie have to get old? I mean she's not a real person or anything. Can't she just be timeless and never age? I say this because somebody on Facebook recently mentioned that she sounded like an old lady in the Dave Stewart shout out and it made me sad! 4. I finally got my poster of this and hung it on the wall (although it's smaller than an actual poster size like I thought it was gonna be). Isn't it like the grooviest shot ever? Like Stevie's tummy man. Who sees THAT?? 5. Why can't I be obsessed with anyone other than (or in addition to) Stevie? Please shed some light upon these topics. Thanks in advance. |

4. Oh my goodness, her tummy! I've only seen it in one other picture before. Huh.. interesting. 5. Her ethereal beauty, the way she looks at 62. Her amazing music, lyrics & style. She is adorable at her age and always has been and you just want to squeeze her. You probably knew this but I just wanted to remind you. I'm also in love with Florence + the Machine. If you've never heard of her you should check her out! |

3. Well I was 9 so not really but if I looked like that, yes! And I'm not saying she can't age at all, just a lot slower than the rest of us. |

Stevie should release a bootlegs series exclusively through Itunes or something. I am sure it would get several thousands of downloads if we got upgraded material straight from the source Ahhh we can dream.... |

In addition, they could release a very expensive, limited edition physical box set with all the same tracks for those fans and audiophiles that love getting our hands on a physical product with lossless quality audio tracks. Last edited by jeffd8382; 11-10-2010 at 04:07 PM.. |

Love & War (Mix Down) - enhanced quality demo
Hey everyone...
A recent post in another thread reminded me of the demo for a song called "Love & War" or "Mix Down"... I believe it was recorded somewhere around 1989-1991 (by what it sounds like). I've only found MP3s of the recording at low bitrates (usually 128)... but since that's all I have, I decided to work on enhancing the quality (it always bugged me that most of the sound was panned to the left). So here are the results (although it's originally a lossy file, I have uploaded it as a WAV to not further degrade the quality after editing): http://www.mediafire.com/?7i1vgl88d8xn5j8 I think it's a definite improvement, particularly in the low-end... If anyone has a lossless copy of decent sound quality they could share, that would be wonderful. But until then, we all have this! Editing Notes (for those interested): I first raised the right channel to match the left. I then stripped the center and left/right channels apart for separate editing (which is what I usually do when I have tried to enhance files). The center channel luckily contained most of the vocal track, so I re-equalized that... trying to bring some depth into it, while also brightening it up. I also added a little mild reverb to add some fullness. The side channels I tried to even some of the volume levels (since the intro beat was much louder than the remainder of the track); did some re-equalization to reduce a little sharpness and boost low-end; used some mild noise reduction (most tape hiss was in right channel); tried to fix a couple glitchy audio artifacts (a few still remain) I then re-mixed the channels together, used a little compression, and edited fade-in & fade-out. Enjoy! Last edited by jeffd8382; 11-10-2010 at 03:46 PM.. |

I wish I were that capable! Actually what I'm doing is using digital plug-ins and audio editing software.

So this randomly came on my iPod today and I almost creamed my pants! I don't know if I downloaded it from this thread or it was just some random thing I had but it's TO DIE FOR! I'm not even a big fan of Think About It but this vocal is so classic Stevie and so fabulous I had to share. Please download it now! Those harmonies, ooooohhhhh!!!! I can die a happy woman, she's just that good!
