Noise Floor \\ Behind the Mix - Ep 002 - Wide Awake by Katy Perry

Welcome to Noise Floor! If you’ve ever wanted to peel back the layers of your favorite tracks and hear the magic before the final mix, this is your spot.

On this channel, we dive into original multitrack stems, isolated vocals, raw instrument takes, and unedited studio moments to reveal how iconic songs were actually built. Hear mistakes left in the final take and also things you never even know where there - but if they were missing, you'd hear it! We break it down instrument by instrument — drums, bass, guitars, synths, harmonies — listening to each layer on its own before stacking them back together for the full, powerful final composition.

It’s nostalgia, music theory, geeky audio fun, and pure appreciation for the craft that we have to maintain along the way. Whether you’re a musician, a producer, or just someone who loves hearing how the sausage gets made, you’ll feel right at home. Let’s rebuild the songs that shaped us, erhh.. if we can get access to them... — one stem at a time. 🎶🙌
