Not long ago, I took some aspiring engineers to a trade show where some “antiques” were on display. Namely, some CD/DVD players, along with a few analog multitrack’s.

There is no way to say for sure what specific elements, sounds or aspects of a record make it a HIT. Yet every hit has a few key things that grab our attention and make it memorable. Reviewing a long list of hits, we find that many of the same or analogous elements work over and over, in their separate contexts, to create their charisma.
