About my Remix/Remaster:
I used SpectraLayers PRO-7 DeReverb to remove the original harsh overbearing spring-reverb from the vocals and replace it with a more pleasant slow stereo reverb for a better stereo image. The original engineers left Bob’s vocals fairly uncompressed, keeping it very vibrant. For the orchestra and percussion, I uncompressed their separate tracks ever so slightly and EQed them so the cymbals and strings would shimmer just a bit more. The bass was perfect. I left it alone.

I wish you could have been with me while I was working on this one. Robert Goulet’s vocal was absolutely perfect and right in-the-pocket. His laid-back phrasing is incredible! Listening to the isolated orchestra was pure joy. Frank De Vol’s arrangement was stellar! We don’t have artists and musicians like this anymore!

Technical Information:
I used iZotope RX-8 to isolate the Vocals, Orchestra, Drums & Bass into 4 separate tracks. I used SpectraLayers PRO-7 to DeREVERB the Vocals. Adobe Audition was used for Dynamic Range recovery, Delay, EQ, Reverb and final mixdown. NERO 2019 Platinum used to generate the final video.
