If you're somebody like me, who practically lives through music, you'd probably be amazing with the whole deal behind how music comes together. For me, part of the reason I love music so much is the recording process. I love breaking down stems (AKA the seperated instruments) leaked on the internet from Guitar Hero/Rock band games and listening to how songs were recorded, and how each instrument sounds seperated. and to have an entire webshow based off of the recording process is just downright fantastic!
Shaking Through is a web-show hosted in my hometown (And current home) of Philadelphia, PA that brings in local or national artists to record a song and show how it's made. The show takes place at the Miner Street Recording studio, and host/owner Brian McTear helps out with mixing, and also hosts the show. And not only that, but if you are a follower of the show, or it's newsletter, when corresponding episodes are released, (As of writing, the most recent episode shows the band "Hop Along" recording their most recent song.) the mixed and unmixed stems for the song performed on the show are released so we can not only break down the song bit by bit, but we can take a look at our own mixes to test out our skills at mixing, and also gain practice.
If you ask me, I totally encourage shows like this, especially if they also involve audience participation, and help bands get more exposure, and of course, let me break down songs I like track by track.
