It is. And it's damn near mono. There's additional Buckingham guitar flourishes with stereo reverb that help propel the song. Andy Edited to add: Hykker was talking about "Over My Head"; there are a few records being discussed in this thread. Edited by AndrewChouffi - 10 May 2025 at 6:23am |

Interesting examples here and yeah, most all bother me. The only one that I'd put in a different category is "While You See a Chance", which has a string pad (chord) that fades in. Lots of songs do that. It's more the ones that had drums, or other beat-like sounds, that fade in - which I wish just started cold :)
Oh and "Never Ending Story" fading in and out, being never ending. I never would have thought of that. And it's been about 40 years! lol |

For Turn To Stone, Steal Away & Never Ending Story ...
Has anyone here tried to create versions where the intro didn't fade in? (I've done that for an album cut or 2. There generally needs to be a later portion, either in the intro or an instrumental piece before Verse 2 that's at full volume, which can be substituted in for the actual (faded-in) intro. "Turn to Stone" came on today, and how I wished that intro started cold. For the 1st 2 songs, I'm sure the intros were fully there, so I don't know why they'd do this. |

"Steal Away" can be easily done as the first kick drum beat is on the CD (albeit 60db lower).
In the early 2000s when I converted my CDs & vinyl to my gig laptop drive that's exactly what I did. It sounds pretty good. Andy Edited by AndrewChouffi - Yesterday at 7:00am |

I'll try that. Was the beginning of the intro real hissy? When I've done that sort of thing with a CD, that can happen. (Then I have to use a dehisser in stages so it sounds natural.)

I don't recall using any NR, but it was nearly 25 years ago I did it, so my memory may be somewhat hazy.
I do remember taking it from 'Radio Daze' which you were credited on! Andy |

Andy, you noticed that. lol. That's the CD source I used for Steal Away, so I'll try to raise the intro and see how it goes.
I wish I could figure out a way for Turn to Stone. For some reason, that intro fade-in over a full track is the one I'd most like to hear without the fade :) |
