@@artyom9137 the backup vocal melody made it more Beatles esq sounding imo. It wasn’t about the “vocal panning” it was about how the melody mix of the 2 different vocal parts sounded to me.
Yeah, in a studio recording you can do one of the following or a combination of both: A live track. A dubbed track. Most bands, Nirvana included, do a live take of a track. That is, the drums and bass are usually done live. The guitar and vocals are usually done live as well, but what are called "scratch takes". That's because they often have "bleed", or artifacts like the drums carrying over into the mic. The bass is usually recorded through a DI, or direct input, or sometimes mic'ed to the amp as well (usually both). Keep in mind, most of this is usually done in isolated rooms. You might have the bass amp in one room, drums in one room, etc. Still, you would then track the guitar twice usually. One guitar per channel (one guitar take for the left speaker, one for the right speaker). Some guitarists don't do that. It depends. Sometimes there are more takes. This sounds like two takes to my ear, but I have no idea. Sometimes you just have two mics on an amp and it fattens up the sound that way and you can do a single take. The live vocals are typically not kept live in a studio session. These are usually redone after the initial live take, just like the guitar. Certainly the bass solo and backup vocals were dub-ins (or, presumably for the bass guitar solo).
Something like the first Foo Fighters album, in comparison, was obviously not tracked live lol, because it is all just Dave Grohl. So that is all dub-ins. So he'd have the song arrangement mapped out, track the drums first (I'd imagine), then bass, then guitar (probably two takes for both speakers), then vocals, then harmonies. Another track for guitar solos, etc. Tracking live is preferable, when it comes to a full band, because it sounds more natural (now, as the story goes, Nirvana DID use a click track to Lithium), and it saves time because you're nailing things like the bass and drums all at once, the band plays the song as they would normally play it during a rehearsal or at a show, and if any of the guitar or vocals could be isolated well enough during the take, those things could be kept--but definitely most of those things are scrapped and dubbed again and then placed over top of the original drum and bass tracks. Even during Bleach, Jack had stated that the guitar and vocals were overdubbed. This isn't exclusive to Nirvana, per say, these are just standard studio practices, past and present.
kurt clearing his throat, the drumstick count in, the bass solo, the backup vocals, this mix is just better.
Having the backup vocals turned up makes it very Beatles sounding.
Kinda weird. I never heard Kurt’s Beatles influence, until listening to some of the earlier, unpolished stuff.
man just compared nirvana and the beatles btw i dont hear it at all
@@artyom9137 it’s pretty common knowledge that the Beatles are one of Nirvana’s biggest influences
@@thescoobymike The beatles didnt invent vocal panning thats the point.

This is probably the songs along with verse chorus verse I play most often on my guitar. Anyways great upload!
This version sounds awesome!
Love hearing the backing lyrics more
I love this Been A Son from Blew single!!, the backup vocals sound more energetic!
Rock In Paradise, Kurdt!!
The vocals to this definitely got mixed a lot better in the final product.
Are you the mixing engineer from nirvana?
@@lukeroberts3464 Just a guy giving his opinion. No need to get passive aggressive.
@@JohnnyCake6759 true.

Burt Cobain, his secret evol twin 👀
First!! 😊
I can’t tell which voice is the backing lyrics
a little too slow for me, compared to the version on Incesticide
I wouldnt say early alt mix, its just a super early demo
it's a rough mix of the Blew EP version and also is on the Nirvana 2002 album
First
Yay more music without Grohl!! 🤍
Hell yeah, Don't get me wrong grohl was an amazing add but Chad was the real backbone for me.
@@Bluntula Lmao
Almost doesn't sound like kurdt
Remember the Nirvana 2002 album? song number 3.... just a rough mix of the track
