Lead Vocal Levels in Pop Music
Manage episode 361647471 series 2859015
Is there an ideal level for lead vocals compared to accompaniment in popular music? Researchers at University of Oldenburg investigated this question by analyzing the Billboard Hot 100 year-end list from 1946 to 2020 as well as Grammy award nominees from 1990 to 2020. In this interview, author Kai Siedenburg discusses what his group learned about an important aspect of music mixing and the impact the research may have.
