It's obvious stuff. You either want dynamics or not. I send everyone back
to Thriller school to listen to what dynamics are.

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
Youre paralyzed
Chorus
cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Just something to think about when mixing and mastering.

It is funny... the number of times you hear, "can you turn up the (blank)",
as opposed to the few times you hear somebody ask "can up turn down the
(blank)?"

Hey Chris,
I don't mix with others in the room anymore. I couldn't stand the =
learning curve
that invariably took a complete 10 or more tracks for the band to learn =
the method.

I spend time understanding the bands concept of their production, I give =
my input, we agree=20
and then I mix. Once a mix is very very close to complete I email them =
a copy to get their=20
input again. Usually we're good, if not, it's one more time or have one =
or two members visit for
final tweaks. This is much less stressful for me and more fun/creative =
in general. I am usually
easy on the hourly rate just for the freedom it provides me. Everyone =
wins this way and
no silly comments in the control room at the most inopportune times.
T.
