| Hey, thanks for all the relies... I wasnt sure how this one would go down!
Its always been my opinion that a great record is a product of each stage. Therefore the original recordings must be atleast good for the overall record to be of top quality. However, my mixing skills are not that of the top pro's, and i often wondered how much it really is possible to do. What really got me thinking was when i listened to some old break beats remixed and shit by a top guy - it was amazing what he'd done with them, far more than i thought possible! I also regularly download samples for remix contests, and Im constantly shocked by how crap the original tracks sound when compared to the final mix. This all backs up the notion that a great mixer is every bit as important as good tracking.
I'll be really interested to see if Dave has any comments on this. |
