China Cymbals and Guns

I don't own a china cymbal for the same reason I don't own a hand gun....
because I might some day be tempted to use it.

Let's post horror stories from a client that compares a "console mix" from a "mastered mix". I've had a few that listen in their car and want it to sound as loud as......... But mixing analog as I do, you can only make copies so hot..........

I'm honored and humbled to be working among the folks represented here. Seriously, to wake up every day and make music for a living is one of God's greatest gifts!

Perfectly Bland

*This was originally written to be a response to a forum question, but after I posted it I realized that I really hadn't responded to the question. I was off in my own world, as usual. So I took it down, and I'm posting it as a blog.

Has technological advancement detracted from the music we make?

Man, I've probably lost days of my life staring into space thinking about this very topic. One minute I'm standing in the kitchen making dinner- an hour later I'm starving, my food…

Ghosts

I know we've all seen and heard a lot of things over the years in the business. If you notice I've posted a pic out at a studio I've worked at for years. A few weeks ago there was a video shoot at the studio and a few of the crew were taking pics before the main crew got there just so they'd have an idea of what they were working with.

Intellectual Property Rights

Another engineer friend and I were talking the other day about mixing in the box and what happens after the sessin leave our hands. In most cases these days, once it leaves me it goes to mastering and then to pressing, but what about those that have Pro Tools (or others) at home and like to tinker with the mix or take it somewhere else to do some touch-ups?
