Definitive CD collection for mix referencing?

ryst · 28th December 2007, 08:39 PM

I know there have been some threads before on people's favorite cd's to reference while mixing but some of us here work with a lot of different styles and genres. So could you guys list some favorite cd's for different styles of music?

TOP 5 FOR :

Rock (modern)
Rock (classic)
Metal
Country (modern)
Country (classic)
Hip Hop
Pop
Rap
Electronic
And everything in between......

This would come down to one's personal taste of production style, but I'm sure there's a lot of common ground that a lot of us can agree on.

I'm mainly a metal head / electronica kinda guy so for what I know about those genres.

Metal: Anything by Fear Factory and whoever they're producer is, I like Adam Dutkiewicz's production (All Killswitch Engage albums, all All That Remains albums, As I Lay Dying: An Ocean Between Us), anything produced by Jamie King (He Is Legend, Kill Whitney Dead, Between The Buried and Me, Bloodjin).

Electronic: The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Infected Mushroom, Simon Posford (Hallucinogen, Sphongle)

anything you know well. i like a couple of ice cube records, and i used to listen to radiohead ok computer all the time. great mix and great to explain to non sluts how "records have gotten louder" by a/b comparisons with any new rap record.
