What would you like to change about the sound of your current set-up?
Alan---I really enjoyed your score recording of "Vantage Point." Very nice work!

Thanks so much for the compliment Plush. Much appreciated...
Whats wrong with my setup now? Nothing. It works great but, as most people who would read this forum would understand, I have a lifelong goal of getting better.
I had a beautiful dinner with Prof. Keith O. Johnson (Reference Recording). I consider him to be the finest orchestral engineer I have ever heard. We had a long and detailed conversation about techniques. He was very interested in the "hybrid" world I live in. I was actually mixing Vantage Point when he came. He had never seen a modern film music mix and he was blown away with the 500 tracks, 4 Protools rigs....etc. He was also, to my great joy, very complimentary of my recording.
I think his recording are, by far, the most depthful, 3D recordings I have heard. Although it wouldn't translate to film score exactly, there are elements that I took away from my conversation that I have applied.
The reason for telling this long boring story- we both tried to figure out how to take our stuff to the next level.
Hopefully, I'll never figure it out, because the journey is a ball!
