1. “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel

Producer: Daniel Lanois

Mix engineer: Kevin Killen

Reference Number Tracker Gcash

Mastering engineer: Ian Cooper

This song was a cultural touchstone in the late 1980s, and it was a breakthrough reinvention for Peter Gabriel (PG) as an artist. For me, it’s all about the following:

Arrangement, recording quality, editing, imaging, balance, and frequency response.

The first thing I notice is the smooth frequency response and transparent high-end. On an RTA, the frequencies are well balanced from 20 Hz – 20 kHz.

From the downbeat, the quality of the recording is evident as the opening percussion gives way to Gabriel’s poignant vocals, which are blended perfectly with the track. Percussion is allowed to fill the far left and right of the stereo image, while the band and PG are firmly centered. In the pre-chorus the compressed/chorused guitars and ethereal background vocals swirl hard left and right, setting us up for the dramatic chorus. The well-conceived arrangement is the star here because we can hear the band’s natural dynamics as parts enter and depart our focus, always audible, never obscured. The editing choices here are key—what parts stay in and what gets left out.

By the time Youssou N’dour’s vocal enters in the out-chorus, the frequency response curve has nearly flattened, and the amplitude of the piece has reached its zenith but never sounds overly compressed. Well written, well played and produced—all-in-all, this track represents everything I could ever want in a mix. This is my “Sugar.”

A word on mastering:

Unless you have the before and after mastering versions of a song, a listener never really knows what magic has happened in the privacy of the mastering suite. I give mastering engineers all due credit, but I would love to have sat in on the mastering sessions to see what the mixes really sound like.
