bibliography of nevermind


Bibliography

I skimmed and scanned three secondary sources to find out more about the recording techniques and aspects of the nirvana album ‘Nevermind’. I annotated these articles and found out the following information. I found the techniques used on each instrument and what microphones were used and where they were placed in relation to the instrument. The purpose of my research is to find information about the sound production of the album so I can add it into my Blog.
