Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential bands in the history of popular music, there is plenty of available literature on the techniques and equipment used to record The Fab Four, including my personal favorite Recording The Beatles by Brian Kehew and Kevin Ryan.
Here are some examples of creative production techniques used by the group and the talented crew of engineers that helped create a catalog of albums that have sold well over two billion copies: 1. Recording at half-speed on “In My Life” On this song from 1965 Album Rubber Soul, all but the instrumental bridge section had been completed.
John Lennon asked Producer George Martin to come up with “something baroque sounding.”¹ Martin’s Bach-inspired Piano solo was written at a tempo that Martin himself couldn’t play.

Tradition and Attitudes 4. Historically, these strategies — reductionist, to say the least — were only used systematically during a relatively short period, and were called into question starting in the early 1970s, with the advent of FM and home hi-fi systems, both of which rendered them obsolete. This brings up an interesting point: we could, in retrospect, represent the general evolution of audio quality since the 1950s as a trajectory from masking to transparency. As it stands — it bears repeating — the production of a transparent sound is dependent on a subtle, complex, but increasingly reliable ensemble of factors that institutions teaching electroacoustics have not (yet) taken upon themselves to transmit. 4.1 Choice of Materials Audio 1.

There they are...8/16/24/48/96 tracks that you’ve painstakingly recorded, overdubbed, erased, and recorded some more.... so now what? You can’t play with your mixer’s knobs every time you want to hear your masterpiece! You need to blend all those tracks to (usually) a 2-channel, stereo mix. In other words, mixdown your tracks.

Audio metering is one of the most confusing and complex aspects of sound recording.

However, there are perfectly good reasons why this should be the case and the differences are mainly due to the historical development of the various metering systems and their interpretation.
Having said that, not all meters are equal and it's still a case of 'horses for courses' when choosing which system to use in particular applications. Q What are the meters really for? All audio material has a certain dynamic range — the difference between the highest and lowest acceptable levels. Audio and production tutorials, from beginner to advanced.

Guide to Mastering Your Own Music v2.0 October 24th, 2011 By Tarekith Preface: The original version of this mastering guide was by far the most downloaded and shared production guide I've ever written, even though it was primarily geared towards "beginner" musicians.
