Does anyone have an accurate mock-up or even the real radio promo edit for the Police "Don't Stand"... (3:37) It does not need to be of high-quality. I just want to be able to hear it. I would appreciate it.
Cheers, Jody Thornton |

Jimct & Aaronk, did you two decide there was an edit in the into, or that it was simply faded up 13 sec before the lyrics?
Inquiring minds want to know. :) ASIDE: What's interesting to me about this song is that, as the intro progresses, you can hear the producer unmuting instruments / tracks as they come in: :06 - guitar :07 - "bump" in sound suggests drums unmuted almost same time as guitar :16 - almost sounds like a metronome gets accidentally unmuted! :21 - Is there an edit here? Rhythm seems to fall apart. If you're counting with the whatever's-keeping-rhythm, it jumps. It sounds to me like each of these channels were manually unmuted, not that they used a noise gate as I might have suspected. Top 40 radio audio compression sucked this intro volume WAY up; in fact, the station I was at in 1989 pulled this off of VINYL and the record noise / clicks & pops were TERRIBLE over the air on the intro. I'd try to talk over it every time just to keep the noise levels down! :) Edited by NightAire |

It's definitely just faded up about 13 seconds before the vocal. This is not a straight 0 to 100% fade up. It's more like this: 0 sec - 0% 1 sec - 3% 2 sec - 5% 3 sec - 7% 4 sec - 10% 5 sec - 15% 6 sec - 20% 7 sec - 25% 8 sec - 30% 9 sec - 35% 10 sec - 40% 11 sec - 45% 12 sec - 50% 13 sec - 100% Yes, it's really goofy sounding like that. |

Can anyone who has the vinyl 45 confirm whether there's a little static noise right before the guitar kicks in? (This would be right around the (:20) mark.) I've heard one single on YouTube where it's present, and another where it isn't. The one where it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU_Juyj-n7k The one where it isn't (granted, not taken from a 45, but none of the CD versions I've heard match this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLIikaJCTlU Edited by sriv94 |
