The one glaring observation is how bright these recordings are, in particular the refrains. I'm fairly tolerant of pop music EQ, but this was a little much IMHO.
I'm going to have to assume this is all an A&R/record company thing....there are some big names involved with the mastering here. |
yup.
very poor decision making - all backed up with "you can't argue with sales"..... which is of course bollocks. Jazz Samba hasn't sold millions - but is arguably a fantastic recording. Mixing for sales is a different world than mixing to support the art.
