Recording Nirvana: Something In The Way. (Recording Studio)

November 302009

http://www.MixMyMusic.net – Curious how they did it? Butch Vig deconstructs Nirvana’s song “Something In The Way”. Awesome video of him behind the console in the studio soloing out sections of the song and talking about how they made the record. This is probably my favorite clip yet. Again, tip of the hat to “Classic Albums”.

    well the actuall cd you burn onto shouldent make much differance to the recording as long as you get the correct sample rate but burnt cd’s only have a short life expencity maybe 2-3 years professinaly mastered cd’s are actully pressed at like 1000 at a time. it really depends what u intend to do with a recording

    The cheap and expensive cd’s all have the same quality for bit rates and sample rates. The difference is that the expensive ones last longer in storage (Selenium added to the coating) and the expensive ones are less likely to have errors while you are burning onto them.

    Butch Vig is my hero. He could take good songs and end up making them absolutly amazing. Nevermind was amazing because vig was able to get kurt to do so many guitar and vocal parts. not metioning the overdubs. some records are over or under produced. this record was perfectly made.

    RIP Kurt

    i found this dvd well informative.. Butch gives a run down of all the tracks and information on how they’re made. Alas Kurt is gone but but he’l live on in his music and thanks to mr vig and dvd’ like this we all can get a little closer to the one person we all here admire but will never meet.. 5* all the way.
