The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black (2026 Mix)

This is a fan-made stereo remix of Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones. I wanted to create a better stereo remix to this song. The original stereo mix features the wonky stereo placement of the 1960s, which had the guitars and sitar hard-panned to the right, the vocals in the center and the drums and bass hard-panned to the left. This is of course because everything was recorded on four-track machines at the time. I used the Guitar Hero 3 stems to remix this track, then used AI to further separate tracks so I could make a more balanced mix. Interestingly, I was able to restore the piano played by Jack Nitzsche. I did separate each drum part as well like the toms and the snare. I didn't pan them, but instead made the kick, snare and toms pop out a lot more. The end result is a mix I think is way more suitable for modern listening. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
