Into The Mix -400 X 400-02

In the third episode of Soundbreaking, we celebrate the human voice, the most powerful instrument of all. It also can be the most difficult to record, so a wide range of producers discuss their tricks for getting that perfect vocal track — one that both sounds great and is full of emotion. Highlights include:

  • Producer Paul Epworth talks about recording Adele’s hit “Rolling in the Deep”
  • Amy Winehouse’s unique voice and how it was captured in the studio
  • The use of Auto-tune and vocal manipulation by artists like Kanye West, Roger Troutman, and Cher

Keep coming to Into The Mix for more episodes!
