"We'll Fix It in the Mix": The Era of Unlimited Tracks

[cmaughan2000]

@vleon1012 Fix it in the marketing lol

[Vanjal]

While I agree on "can't fix it in the mix (always)" part, I really don't understand this bitching about DAW workflow. Whoever wants to frustrate himself and clients canb go "old school" with tapes and shit, hiss, noise, low quality/resolution audio etc. WTF is wrong with these people ? Time goes on and we can't let music stay in vinyl form.

[kainthevampireduck]

@Vanjal why not, vinyl is better than digital sound, if something is good, why change it?

[CustomAudioTV]

Great video! I totally agree!

I am a sound engineer in Barcelona Spain and I can say that the musicians I records get surprised because I look for s good sound from the beginning and they often ask me why can't I fix it later. I say that later I am more limited. the idea is to take it correctly from the beginning. The look at it as a strange thing.

[SmileysRevenge100]

How about "We'll fix that in the next take"?

A Monkey playing a solo? WTF!!! LMAO!!!

[scorchedsound]

I never say we'll fix it in the mix, I may say from time to time, I'll fix it in post-production. Say for example a drummer plays a part very well but speeds up at one section, I'll just fix that section by moving things and using cross-fades.

How many engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

3, One to change the light bulb and two to argue how the old one was so much better.

[tuttlesoundlabs]

@sdeanmusic haha nice one

[worriedaboutlife]

does anybody think that people will accept and consume music with no organic performance?

[clintcastle]

I would actually prefer to listen to electronic music. It doesn't bother me where it came from or how it was made, it matters how good it sounds

[worriedaboutlife]

come back in 20 years and tell me that..

[charliejazz64]

i think the character of each sound and the character of the mix as a whole is important. and once you have that feeling, whether its analog or digital, its time to stop.

[LPproducer]

I spent 10 years on 2" reel and 10 on HD man have things changed!

[odakueffect]

I agree on the unlimited tracks.
