The tune sounded pretty nice - in fact I was well pleased. But after it was finished I heard the intro to the next tune on the 2" machine. Problem is, there were 2 2" machines, and the way the reels were balanced only a handful of the tracks from this next tune played. But the vocal, bass, main guitar and a few special details were there. It sounded quite different from what I had intended - in fact the loudest voice was a harmony part in the chorus and the melody was a bit sublimated. But I had to admit the "random" mix was more interesting - shed a whole new light on the song. |

I used to have a cat named Fluss. Great cat. Top ten of all cats, probably. He liked to lay across my shoulders (anyone's shoulders, actually) with his legs dangling on either side of my neck. I would occasionally sit at the desk with him like this. Once, he got startled and jumped off, nudging a couple of faders. Presto, the song sounded better. He only did it once, though. I had to work it out on my own after that. |

WOW! Can I send you the reels of my band's new record and have you mix it without monitors? I'll even give you track sheets. I'm not sure whether to be inspired or to quit. |

Amazing!! BUT it makes sense, in a way. You have been "experienced" at this for so long, that some things DO make sense. |

Being the house soundguy in a nightclub is a good way to learn to set up a mix quickly. Not much time for soundcheck when the early show ends 15 minutes before yours is supposed to start. (Is it still considered late if it happens evey time?) -Dan. |

...Bull crap! This is just proof that a monkey can predict the stock market better than a professional stock broker. My computer speakers are fried, so I haven't heard the mix yet. I think this just puts the music mixing career thing into perspective. |

No, he needs to see the meters, but I assume he can fly on instruments, in zero visability. |

Indeed. And if this were not a music forum, I would tell the horrible story of my worst day as an instrument pilot. I'll look for a flying forum for that... |

... I also heard a story that when Clearmountain was mixing the Boss Bruce would banish Bob from the CR for a minute near the end of the mix and just give the faders a shove here and there... |
