Hit Song Science (50 Cent=Ronnie Milsap)

Post by inverseroom » Sun Dec 14, 2003 5:29 am

Here's a new low for you, from page 74 of this morning's New York Times Magazine:

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/14/magazine/14HIT.html

"Others are now using [Hit Song Science] in the studio, taking a rough mix of a new song, checking to see how hit-worthy it is, then tweaking it until it has 'good mathematics.'"

Anybody know anybody who's doing that?

After Bon Jovi finished a record, they would get a group of 14-ish year old girls into the studio to test out the bands hit making goldenness.
