Regarding club/chart stuff – the NOW compilations are kind of cheesy, but they are a short cut to the Pop tracks lots of people expect to hear. I’ll admit to cherry picking tracks from them, only slightly embarrassed to admit it, but IMHO the mastering of the NOW CDs sound like rubbish – too harsh. I’me gravitating to using them as a guide and downloading the same tracks from the original, individual release. I would suggest you check out the Top Songs links on iTunes (for whichever Genre your interested in) or the Best Sellers links at Amazon to get a benchmark of what’s selling – assuming sales = popular. I have a wife, and a teenager, with mainstream tastes and use them as a barometer for what I may/may not be picking up on.
Might wanna see what Platinum Notes can do with them. I have had quite a few satisfying results with it’s expansion capability and the option to add some warmth.
