Ok, so what are all of you using to acclimatize yourself to these?
I have been thinking about which albums are my favourties in terms of engineering (as well as the songs of course).
I think I am going to put the following through their paces before touching any of my material. I'm thinking all or parts of:
- Alice In Chains - Dirt
- The Tragically Hip - Road Apples
- Jeff Buckley - Grace
- Portishead - Dummy
I know the 'sound signatures' of these albums so well, having listened to them all so many times over the years. Engineering masterpieces (IMO, YMMV), all.
What are you running (or planning to run) through them? Looking for tips and 'oh yeah, that would be great' moments!
