how is Allison Krause mixed?

Allison Krause, the Bluegrass/country singer, has the most unique and
evocative vocal delivery I've ever heard.

How is it done?

She sounds good on her albums, and she also sounds good on a VHS tape I
made from Austin City Limits years ago. Maybe it's just her voice. :-)

On the other hand, the records of hers that I have are recorded pretty
well. All of them sound really good.

I have worked Allison live on a number of occasions... I think we have
a clear cut case of talent here. Just put up a microphone and stay out
of the way. :-)

Do you know what media she records to (digital or otherwise?)

I think she and the band are very talented. On the CDs I've heard, I think
the instruments and other vocalists sound great, but her voice is always
recorded way to bright and does not fit in the context of the sound of
everything else.

Her last album "New Favorite" was recorded on a Euphonix R-1 I believe.

Most everyone in Nashville uses ProTools today (including Bil Vorndik,
who has recorded much of her work) so, yes, it's digital.

Goes to show that digital isn't bad, you just need a good singer in a
good room and decent gear. I'll tell you that I recorded her in a show back
in 1989. At that time, she wasn't doing the sweet music she's most noted
for today, she was doing hard-core bluegrass and showing off her fiddling
skills. She had a voice like a laser, that cut through the band even when the
PA system was off. It was accurate, and definitely the "high lonesome sound"
but it sounded funny coming from a young woman instead of Ralph Stanley
or Bill Monroe.

Oh man, I think it's great. There's this huge big warm space around her & she
cuts right through it.

I wonder how cozy you are with bluegrass in general, and whether or not
you've heard _New Favorite_, which has quite a different sound from her
earlier stuff.

I loved the Vorndik work with here, and was disappointed by her lead
vocal cuts on the recordings immediately following the change to a
different engineer. The contrast between the intimately breathy sound of
her tracks versus the romping bluegrass from the other vocalists was a
mess to me, with levels out of whack. I wondered how it got through
mastering like that. But by _New Favorite_ all of that is worked out
fabulously and the presentation moves seamlessly between different
singers and types of songs. Dig their version of "The Young Man Who
Wouldn't Hoe Corn".

Funny, Bil didn't tell me about that, but then again the last time I talked
to him was about our mutual friend who received a liver transplant at
virtually the last minute. Well, I've talked to Bil once or twice since,
but it's been non-music business related.

Hey, who knows. Maybe I can get Bil up for the cookout! <g> Yeah, and
monkeys might fly out my butt, too. But I'm just stupid enough to ask. If
he can make it, that means probably getting some of the old Mockers (Harry
Daley from Jimmy Buffet along with Bil) and the Cavemen (Steve Crosen from
Billy Joe Royal and Louise Mandrell, and Rob Price (on at least one of my
RAP submissions)). And probably Kirby Yarbrough from Mac Wilson's band, and
maybe even Mr. Liver Transplant himself, Howard Kronfeld, who had Stanley
Clarke staring at his the adeptness of his bass work.

Then again, if any of the rest of us want to play music....! <g>

[Roger W. Norman]

Oops, screwed up.

I knew he at least recorded Allison's first album because he told me and
handed it off to Glenn Meadows to master, who mentioned to me that he was
extremely impressed, and that's a statement for Glenn.

I was referring to Bil using Pro Tools, although I know he's been a Mac fan
for years. It only stands to reason he'd move into Pro Tools, although if
I'd have to pinpoint when it was probably when Roger Nichols was working
with Bela Fleck in his garage attack and Bil stopped over to see what was
going on. Bil didn't like the fact that Roger was doing the design/tracking
but only in so much as it took business away from him. Same thing with
James Taylor starting up his own Yamaha based digital recording studio at
home. After thinking about some of Bil and my conversations on digital,
yeah, I can see him moving to Pro Tools. He just never mentioned to me that
he did so.

My wife and I both grew up near Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, from whence came Ms
Krause. We remember hearing her at private parties and in the parks in
Champaign County.

I miss that sound, and everything you say about her voice and band is true.
She and they were wonderfu! Sweet nostalgia, thanks!

Maybe I'm the only one... but I find her voice... how can I say this.. just
too damned perfect. I mean, it's just so damn perfect it doesn't even sound
human. I know she's not using autotune or anything like that... I know it's
probably just me... but her voice really bothers me. I would NEVER say
anything negative about her talent, she is obviously incredibly gifted!

Bothers me too because I can't think of anything else when I'm listening to
her sing. I'm sure I'd have great lapses of functionality if I were doing a
live setup with her. And lord help me if there's a video monitor somewhere
close because she's as beautiful as her voice. At least in my eyes and
ears.

The earlier stuff was done by Vorndik, okay recordings but nothing like
the more recent releases recorded and mixed by Gary Paczosa (Radar and
Euphonics on some of these albums at least) -- this guy seems to have a
midas touch with all of his more recent projects including Allison Krauss,
Nickel Creek, and even an Altan album. (A recent live Krauss album is
brittle as hell, though. Not sure what happened there.)

Yes, indeed, talent is at the forefront of the sound, but great, great
engineering only adds to the delight.

I thought his first shot with Allison came up inconsistent. The
transitions from bluegrass to erstwhile pop didn't work well for me. I
loved the Vorndik stuff, which was much 'grassier, but I also love where
Gary has gotten to now. _New Favorite_ is an awesome piece of work, all
around.

Too much AutoTune, probably.

Are you sure? Or maybe she's just been exposed to so much of it that
she learned to sing like that.

She sings like she has natural pitch and out of this world pipes. Besides she
sells a song well and her phrasing and vocal emotion is out of sight. Just a
one of a kind great singer and voice.

Did I forget to say she was good?

Her "best of" CD has been worn to death around here, but I think it shows some
inconsistencies in the recordings. Listen to "Oh, Atlanta" for instance. It
is unforgivingly bright and piercing. But then on "Baby..." it's that great
warmth and intimacy. So yes, I think the engineering does matter.

That said, I'm a huge fan.

Exactly. In fact there's a song of hers I pull up when my health problems
are just about to push me over the edge. It's one of the few things that
gets me through. And it's the music and her singing, not the "lyrics", etc.

No. She's the real deal. It's easy to see why someone would think she's
autotuned though. She's THAT perfect (but in a good way).

Periodically the world is given a gifted human, this is Allison. She
really is simply that talented, and we are lucky to be able to hear her
in this lifetime. Talent such as hers isn't normal by any means. I have
played with, and listened to her sing about two feet from her. She has
such a gift that its stunning. I have performed and worked with some of
the most talented people in this business, Bela Fleck, Mike Marshall,
Chris Thile, John Reischman, David Grisman, Sam Bush, and many many
more. But Allison has just about the most beautiful voice and pitch you
will hear. But to some, as was stated earlier in this thread, it can
kind of be unnerving and uncomfortable, probably because of its
perfection. I really don't think that we are used to hearing a voice
that is this perfect very often. Listen to Ella Fitzgerald, she that is
amazing, Allison to me is on the same plane.
An interesting thing to me is how many people she has influenced in the
field of bluegrass, just as Tony Rice did with the guitar and song,
Allison has done with voice and song. When you listen to bluegrass prior
to her and then after, you really hear the influence. Even with talented
singers like Laurie Lewis, Claire Lynch, Lynn Morris, I think Allison
influenced many more. But then again there is Rhonda Vincent, check her
out. She was in the bluegrass biz prior to Allison, and she is another
with a gifted voice, but she has a much more bluesy, gutsy style.
I enjoy the different types of sounds engineers get with the same
vocalist. Makes you wonder what monitors were used on the mix. If it is
sounding harsh by comparison on certain other tracks of a compilation
cd, either something was overlooked in mastering or they left it alone
in mastering just so we could hear the different tonal character of the
producers and engineers work.
Listening is fun stuff,
Jim

Strange comparison. Ella's voice is great, but she always puts over a
great song. More often than not, when I hear Allison Krauss, I wonder
why in the world she decided to do THAT song, or do it in that way.
While she may have the skill and talent, her material and arrangements
keep me from being really enthusiastic. I wish she'd have kept up the
fiddle.

> An interesting thing to me is how many people she has influenced in the
> field of bluegrass

Money talks. She produces, the project sells. She has a style that she
seems to impose on everyone she produces. That's not to say they all
sound like her, but it's just the way the music fits together that has
a sameness. It's the pop music thing - there's one or two good songs,
but I can't listen to more than three or four in a row.

> When you listen to bluegrass prior
> to her and then after, you really hear the influence.

Awright, now you've got me started. Bluegrass is so different today,
and it's not because of Allison. It's not what I call bluegrass, but I
can't fight city hall.

> Even with talented

Is that your criteria for greatness? I'll take Laurie Lewis, Lynn
Morris or even Claire Lynch any day. They've got balls (so to speak).
Allison has just become so smooth, homoginized, and predictable that
there's nothing exciting any more. It's like she's not working hard
enough.

That's why I like her so much better than Allison.

Allison Krauss has talent, but she's riding a wave of success now and
just going along a path that I just don't follow. Ho, hum. but I'd
like to have her money.

You are kidding, right? These recordings are my favorites, especially
"New Favorite". I think her vocal sits right in there and gives focus
to the whole act.

Actually, it's even more tricky than that. It's Alison Krauss (one "l",
no "e", double "s"). See http://www.alisonkrauss.com/ for verification.

Oh, yeah. Why can't she be named Jane Smith so everybody would spell

I never think of him that way. Yeah, Jerry can unleash a torrent of

I don't mean to suggest that I don't like Jerry Douglas or Alison

what either of them did ten years ago. But then the newer "bluegrass"
gets, the less of it I like, in general.
