Hi Harvey,

7. If nothing about the mix annoys someone in the room, the mix is often times not done.



I've read this over and over and I don't understand it.
What does this mean?
Thanks, Wayne



Basically, a mix is not supposed to please everyone; it's supposed to sell records. That means the guitar player may not think his guitar is loud enough, or the vocalist' 4th chorus is dropped to shorten the record enough for radio play, or the bass player had a lot of the bottom removed from his track to allow the kick drum more space.

Bottom line; a good mix will probably piss somebody off. If nobody's pissed, it may not be the world's greatest mix - yet.
