Don't you know how glad I am to listening to your tips through all these last months. When i listen to your advices and musical examples I feel like to having a great friend that like to talk what I would call "poetry" about recording techniques and also has a passionate dedication and loves about what recording and mixing is. Thank you a lot for being our audio friend and adviser too Best Regards and blessings your always friend Elias

One of the most overlooked part of mixing/recording is throwing shakers and tambourines into a mix for "energy" (especially if you are overdubbing all the parts yourself this is a MUST in my book unless you want a really "Static" mix). Cool that your sharing this to people Graham! =)
