Hey everyone! Where could I figure out the equipment used in certain popular recordings topping the charts right now, without having to contact the label and finding the engineers/producers that worked on that particular project, etc.

If you are able to hear this in your area, this was a good program. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/schedule-for-wednesday-july-29-2015-1.3172010

I remember the day I swore I would never play Pop music.
That word meant, to sell out, to stoop to the lowest common denominator. Music that takes no talent, music that is simple to play. Shallow and trendy.

A quick story.

Hey guys,

Hey I just finished recording a pop-punk song. I am pretty new to all this recording stuff. So what would be the best way to go about mixing it (example: lead guitar 10% to left...etc) I would like it to have roughly some what of the same kind of mix as Blink-182. I am using bass, drums, rythm guitar track, lead guitar track, vocal track,and an organ track for the bridge.

I strongly suspect that one of the many reasons behind Kurt Cobain's suicide was that he realized that despite his sincere attempts at keeping it real, this stuff would never die. And in his case, instead of spurring more individuality, he and his bandmates helped create more alternateen zombies.

*sigh*

(Must restock bar)

I'm getting a little ferklempt, I'll give you a topic...

Mixing methodology. How do we normally tackle the mix? Build up a drum mix, followed by bass, and up to guitars and vocals? Or start off with solo vocals / lead element at a certain volume (?), and bring up the other elements around that?

Hallo,

next week I will track a string quartet for a pop recording. So far I'm planning to use a Schoeps ORTF System for the overall ensemble sound and some room information as well as close Micing each player individually with a Schoeps cardiotic mic.
Since I'm more used to classical recording techniques I have the following questions:

Hello everybody.

I think, 24 bit is in anyway better than 16, and i think you would hear a difference betwen

a.) recording 30 tracks with 16 bit, mixing it in 16 bit mode with Pro Tools, bounce the whole mix again 16bit and than master the 16bit bounce

and

Any advice would be much appreciated:
