You were a few hours into it, and for some reason I left the control room for a bit. When I came back in, I couldn't believe how focused the mix had become. I may have even inadvertently asked 'how did you do that ?!?!'. It seemed that it was balanced so well that any change would just tip the thing over!! What I have learned since then, is that when the mix is that balanced, a 0.5 dB change on the vocal can be a huge. From that day on, it was something that I aspired to -- a mix so balanced that you would hear any small change in any aspect of the mix.

That's what i think of when I hear Kevin Killen mixes. Balance...

Cheers,

John,

Many thanks. I think i have put many an assistant to sleep with my approach, its kind of subtle but it gets me results.

John, where shall I send that cheque?
