Reference listening

[danander11]

Setting up a small studio at home and having to acquaint myself to a new set of monitors in a new space. Usually that means a lot of listening to things I have liked/listened to over the years.. but sometimes I get a bit dated.. (Hard to beat Steely Dan though)....

So, I'm curious as to what others listen to for reference material to test their mixes against...

I'll start..

Steely Dan, most anything
Janine Jansen, The Lark Ascending
Keith Urban, But For The Grace of God
Norah Jones, Cold, Cold Heart
Jason Upton, Beautiful People
Jimmy Barnes, Good Times (30/30 CD)
Andy McKee, Into the Ocean

and on...

Nirvana - Nevermind
Radiohead - OK computer...

[Mitchel]

Rage against the Machine.
The Verve-Urban Hymns.
Pink Floyd.

Nice Danny....love Steely man but mostly car traffic time listening

I will have to fire it up in the room and give it a listen..


And yeah I almost forgot about the album Nevermind...it's hard to forget (sonically) that album

We listen to a lot of the Dave Grohl mixes and of course

Foo Fighters both older and newer albums
Garbage
Adele
Fleetwood Mac

Florida Georgia Line and some other modern country for the tight drum and guitar sound.

Also some great mixes from Radiohead, Civil Twilight, John Legend, Michael Jackson, and so on..
