What you're hearing right now is Bye Bye bye bye and when this song was made

music producers knew that if you wanted something to be a hit, it had to sound good in a car,

especially in a car in the United States.

Because that's where most people would listen to it.

So it might sound like this

in your headphones right now.

Maybe in a car the mix would sound off,

like maybe like this.

So some record producers in Sweden came up with something they called the LA car test.

We would listen to music that we had either done in Stockholm, Sweden, or in a studio in LA, and driving your car up and down the Pacific Coast Highway and listening you know to your latest

mix to your music that you just created and if it worked during the past you

sort of knew that it was going to work for the big world.

Speaking here is Andreas Carlson.

He produced hits for In Sink, Brittany Spears, Backstreet Boys,

Saline Dion, and he's talking to us, we should say from from his car I remember when I start in

music we would like you know put as many people as possible into the car and

everybody would sit with you know like little riding pads and

okay second verse you know vocal up fade it should be you know happening

this section doesn't work guitar is too loud that kind of stuff and then you will you will go back

into the studio and you know you would make all those fixes and then you know you would

make another cassette or another

CD or whatever and same procedure again because you have the record.
