So, me and the other sorta audio guy in the Monkies decided to mix up a couple
of our demos to get a feel for who might mix what and how. I did a song that
I thought sounded really pretty rough, definitely no better than demo quality,
and I didn't even use any of the (very good) creamware reverbs because I
didn't want to hassle with the routing and all. So I send it over kind of
feeling bad because it really needs a few more sessions to buff it up but
at least it's giving some kind of window into what I can do sonics wise in
my mixing room.

So, today I get a sheepish email from the other two main Monkies explaining
that it was just 'too polished' for their taste.

Guess I won't be mixing any Monkies tunes ;-)

They must be used to the latest Neil Young live album that had to be mixed
on an answering machine.

LOL!!!.........hey man, be careful. You wouldn't want to lose your client
base by actually mixing something well.

Just for fun, you should do the best and worst mix of a song and play it for
them in person, and see what they say. Then you'll know their crazy.

This isn't a client, this is the band I'm in! Yeah, it's pretty funny. I'm
probably going to mix all of the songs anyway, just for me to have them the
way I'd like. Then when we're all dead and some 19 year old covers a Monkie
tune my alternate mixes will be rediscovered as great lost masterpieces ;-)
