This brings us to the end of this little series on recorded music through the decades.
The song to represent this decade is 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
The song is good, the recording is good, the mastering is good, if a little loud, at LUFS -11.8.
There are a few clipped samples, but not bad in this day and age.
I decided to do something completely different and record the song myself in my studio with midi.
I match the LUFS number of -11.8, but keep my clipped samples at 0 with -1.0 dB true peak level.
I play a little of my version of the song, and then the same section of the real one. A fun exercise.
I hope that you have learned something on this quick tour of recorded music in the United States in the past 80 years.
There is a lot more where this came from, but this gives you a start.
Not sure what we will do next, but it should be interesting.
