Look at this photograph!
Every time we do, it instantly brings to mind one of the biggest songs of @Nickelback's career, which was released 15 years ago on the album #AlltheRightReasons. Here’s some fun facts about it.
Photograph went double platinum in the U.S. and hit No. 1 all over the world. Not bad for a song that, Chad Kroeger told us in 2017, is about “nostalgia” for growing up in the small town of Hannah, Alberta. “You can't go back to your childhood," he said. Image
The first line Kroeger wrote for the song also ended up being the song's iconic first line.
"The photograph I'm holding in the music video is the photograph," he says.

Every year since 2013, we've taken a moment to shine a spotlight on Canada's emerging classical musicians.

Meet four of this year's inductees into our classical #30under30 community. [thread] Image
“Constantly challenging the imagination and feeling like what you’re about to embark on is impossible.”

That’s what drives mezzo-soprano @emanikolovska, one of this year’s #CBC30under30 classical musicians | @the_rcm @guildhallschool @StaatsoperBLN

We’re marking #IndigenousHistoryMonth by celebrating some of the incredible Indigenous musicians on Turtle Island — people who have entertained and educated through music.

.@BuffySteMarie is the kokum of rock.

With monumental anti-war anthems like Universal Soldier, Buffy has never shied away from bringing politics into her art. bit.ly/CBCMGC60s Image
Her music and support of Red Power movements in the 1970s resulted in her being blacklisted, but it didn't stop her.

On top of Buffy’s decades of awards and accolades, in 2015, at 74, she won the @PolarisMusicPrize for her album Power in the Blood. bit.ly/CBCMGC60s Image

To be honest I'm not very familiar with Garage Band and what types of plug ins are available for that software. But there are some important principles to keep in mind when using any EQ. #AskCBCMusic
Many EQ plug ins sound similar and they all do just about the same thing. So, pick any parametric equalizer. Here is a simple article that describes what that is: bit.ly/2JyoygP One thing to keep in mind a little can go a long way.
I've had people ask me how I was able to make a certain vocal sound great. They are often surprised to look at my EQ settings and see that I did almost nothing. So, be gentle to start. Cut low end under 80Hz. High Mids will add clarity and high frequencies will ad air.
