If you've never heard Gesualdo, be prepared to have your expectations of Renaissance madrigals obliterated.

Interesting methodology here, but the examples cited are ridiculous. First of all Billboard Top 100 in recent years contains the worst quality modern pop music out there. So you are starting out with a highly flawed data set.

This looks pretty cool. It's a spectrogram overlay for YouTube.

Watched Vivo today, the new animated movie with music by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Fun movie, and great music as you would expect. A mix of Afro-Cuban jazz and hip-hop, some wistful modern Broadway, and one number that is straight-up Missy Elliott.
Highly recommended!
This is just lovely.

I needed to record some practice tracks for a student today, and decided to adapt upright piano miking technique I saw in SoundOnSound. My studio is very bright, so doing any miking with the lid open or front panel removed is a no-go.
CM3 subcards 60 cm wide, 80 cm from the frame, 80 cm high. The second picture is a bit misleading; the mics were aimed at the top half of the soundboard.
The recording was well-balanced and natural. This will now be my go-to setup.

I think @th3j35t3r might need to add this to his playlist. No post-production required.

Watching Mindhunter on Netflix. Besides being an overall great show, I love how the hotel lobby in Atlanta always has Chopin Nocturnes playing.
This is a big problem with Google's automatic copyright AI used in YouTube, and one I've personally run into.
I've had the same thing happen on Sound Cloud as well.
