Has anybody else messed around with taking the various tracks and doing their own mixes? I just messed around a little bit layering tracks in SoundForge so nothing fancy... Just straight overlapping the tracks onto a stereo track for the most part. I added a bit of reverb to the vocals, compressed the bass a bit and added a bit of delay to the guitar part just for something to do, but largely it's just straight pasting of the tracks. Since it's SoundForge I couldn't really pan out tracks, didn't set levels, etc, just stacked up the tracks so the levels are pretty hot. Nothing special, but just messing around I came up with this:
Of course, the really interesting part of these tracks came at the very end of the tracks... Listening to each individual track there's some little 2-second blurb from something else. Clearly not Bob Marley, but still multitrack parts for another song. Well, if you put them all together it sure sounds to my ears like it's about a 2-second snippet of "Good Times" by Chic! Check it:

diggin this. thanks. like Tuff_Gong said, anyone else mess with these or the other multi-track sessions? (i'm interested in particular, what people did with those Ain't No Mountain High Enough multi-tracks)

Thats not Chic, it has not the drums or vocals of the original. No 16th hihat in the original.
I finally got around to opening these up and I've been bugging out on them alllllll morning. Here's a simple mix of "Aint No Mountain". I tried to emphasize certain parts of the song that hit me by adding and removing inst. and I did a simple beat/reprise at the end.
Here's another quick mix. Doing these really shows how seriously talented everyone was. Not only the musicians but the engineers. This is a pretty laid back version with the alt. vocal that was with the other tracks. Nothing ground breaking, but I'm it's been a good learning experience and I'm grateful to even have these.
hey day, I did a similar mix with ain't no mountain. Maybe I'll post it. It's nice to drop out parts and hear things you don't hear in the full mix. Ours seem kind of similar, I'll try to load it up and finish mine.

This, I missed.

But its a Good Times cover I would bet too.
