Have any of you looked at a commercial mix (as I have numerous times) on a frequency meter such as Ozone? If you look and listen at the mid and side channels, there's a LOT more info in the sides than is "supposed" to be there. Bass...kick drum... a lot more low end than I would've guessed.
Any ideas on how to duplicate this? Is it done in mastering? Is it doubled tracks or chorusing? I really shouldn't hear kick drum or bass guitar in the sides (I thought)...but tell that to these two mixes below...new pop hits currently on the charts.
