Inside Track: Mixing Strings

Sep 1, 2007 12:00 PM, By Kevin Becka


ACCENTUATING TIMBRE AND AMBIENCE IN POP TRACKS By: By Kevin Becka

Elton John's “Philadelphia freedom.” Diana Ross & the Supremes' “Someday We'll Be Together.” Train's “Drops Of Jupiter.” Prince's “Purple Rain.” What's the common thread? All of these songs have a memorable string track. While strings are not considered to be the foundation of today's music as they once were in their glory days, a well-mixed string section can still lift a song to new heights — whether the style is pop, rock, country, bluegrass or jazz.
