Mixing Stevie Wonder: Deconstructing "Superstition"
Wednesday June 10, 2009
Stevie Wonder's song "Superstition" is one of the top hits of the 70s -- a really great song, regarded by many as one of the top recordings of the 20th century. It's also a perfect example for new and experienced recording engineers alike: sometimes, less is more!
In this brand new article, we'll sit down with Stevie's original multitrack master recordings -- only 16 tracks -- and learn how this great hit was pieced together, with limited resources by today's standards. You'll be able to download mp3s along the way to see how such a great song was made using only a handful of tracks. And remember, this was before the days of multiband compression and Autotune!
