namkcuR said:So, after making this thread I decided to try my hand at making a hybrid mix...it's basically the album version until the vocal outro - at which point switches to the single version for the - inducing 'don't have to know why/don't wanna promise/cause I don't wanna lie/just know that I need you/need you tonight' lines - and then it switches back to the album version for the further- - inducing extended instrumental outro. Please give it a listen and tell me what you think! If the YSI expires I'll upload it again, or one of you can...

Wanna have the cake and eat it too, huh?
It sounds pretty good but mainly because of the album outro! Yeah... I think I still prefer the album version.

You really think my mix is good? I'm thinking of burning my own custom Pop - this might go on it. Can you tell where the cuts are? Does it detract from the listening experience?
TheBrazilianFly said:I prefer the album version because the single version doesn't have a few lines at the beginning and I love those lines. Plus I think it's too edited, the album version seems to be more complex and interesting. PLus the album version has those beautiful sounds at the end. I love that. However the extra lines at the end of the single version are awesome and I wish that was on the album version.
And by the way I prefer the album version of Please too. Bono's voice on that version is amazing!! Too bad the solo isn't there though. I don't miss the strings but I do miss that solo...

Did you listen to my hybrid version that I posted above?
TheBrazilianFly said:
Yes! I always wanted a version like that! Thanks! Too bad the single version fades while Bono is stll singing the falsetto stuff.
Maybe you could add the solo on the single version of Please into the the album version.
Zootlesque said:Wow, amazing mix there by phanan!
I know I've raved about the single version before but now that I've listened to it on headphones... I think I prefer the grittier album version just a bit. If only it had that guitar solo in the end, it would be perfect!
namkcuR said:
He gets 'amazing mix' and I get 'pretty good'? Hmph. There was a convenient near-two-second pause at the spot where he cut in his mix. There is no such convenient pause in If God.
Seriously though, it's a really good mix of Please.
And I think my If God mix is quite good if I do say so myself...
Zootlesque said:
I agree your mix was a good sample of how the IGWSHA versions would sound together! But the cuts were very obvious... almost like CD skips, don't you think?
Zootlesque said:It's going straight to the home page. I think it's those 3 dots!
Zootlesque said:Yeah... after listening to it yet again, I still prefer the album version.
