If they caught me with my head down and the cans on.
Eyes closed, fingers on faders.
Each mix of channels grouped into a bus.
So I have drums here.
Lead vocals here .
Choir here.
Keyboard.
Bass.
Lead guitar, All stereo, The kids rocking out with these amazing sounding pedal boards..
So.
I could be in the nest, over the whole thing. Or I could be in the broadcast room..
The point is, I brought my own headphones, and I shut out the entire world.
And it was like a fish in water.
Some people just feel at home in certain settings.
You stick all that gear in front of me and my nerd boner gets pretty stiff…
And..
Zero training.
Just a crash course and a 30 minute rehearsal.
Some other asshole Might lean on the food dehydrate a phrase
“set it and forget it”.
Go fuck yourself dude.
Make your mix active, without introducing dramatic and jarring changes.
It means keeping an ear out.
“This person sings a little louder than that other person”
Keep an ear out, lower the loud face and bring up the quiet timid…
Keeping an ear out..
Nerd kids always grew up pretending they had superpowers.. or reading comics or watching movies..
I believe… Everybody has super powers, you just got to find them.
And I would wager, 90 out of 100 times…
It’s not your day job.
Whatever work you do doesn’t require you to activate your superpowers..
If you’re living lucky, your job might be adjacent to them…
