The Allman Brothers Band - Midnight Rider (5.1 surround sound mix)

Even though this song has an official 5.1 version, I believe many people might prefer my surround mix. Sometimes when I mix a song into surround sound, I will listen to the official version first, ...in this case, I did and I made some notes of how I think it would sound better. I wanted the harmony vocals in the surround speakers instead of the front, & I didn't like the way the lead vocal sounded, sometimes when ONLY the Center channel is used for the lead, something is lost. I will often use the Center for lead vocals but they are not 100% isolated & the reverb for the lead vocals sounds great when placed in other channels. I also wanted to balance out the surrounds and a few other things. This surround mix was created using 16 (24Bit) lossless tracks and whether you love the official surround mix or not (or if you've ever even heard it), I hope you like my 5.1 mix, ...it's a little less discrete but I think it sounds very good, ...especially the way the vocals sound. Like all other online platforms, YouTube streams surround sound music at a low bitrate so that the file size is usually 10-times smaller than the original lossless audio. If you would like to hear my surround mixes as lossless and/or a more immersive format, such as 7.1 or Dolby TrueHD Atmos, you can join my free Telegram here: https://t.me/SweetDiscreteMusic/188 ___ "Midnight Rider" is a song by the American rock band the Allman Brothers Band. It was the second single from their second studio album, Idlewild South, released on Capricorn Records. The song was primarily written by vocalist Gregg Allman, who first began composing it at a rented cabin outside Macon, Georgia. He enlisted the help of roadie Robert Kim Payne to complete the song's lyrics. He and Payne broke into Capricorn Sound Studios to complete a demo of the song. While the original Allman Brothers release of the song did not chart, "Midnight Rider" was much more successful in cover versions. Gregg Allman's solo version of the song, released in 1973, was its biggest chart success; it was a top 20 hit in the U.S. and Canada. A cover by Jamaican singer Paul Davidson represented its biggest peak in the United Kingdom, where it hit number ten. Country artist Willie Nelson also recorded a version of the song that peaked at number six on U.S. country charts.
