I wonder how much coke Eddie was on when he made that quote. I think he's an absolutely brilliant musician, but I don't think I could ever have a serious conversation with the guy. Is that someone you would really look up to for intellectual conversation?
I'm just wondering though. You said you had five engineers do a mix for you. Did you tell them how you wanted it to sound? If not, then your argument is lame. If mixing is truly an art form, and you gave them no direction, then what did you expect? Do you go to a restaurant and just tell them "I want food", or do you actually tell them what kind of food you want.
Also, have you heard work of these 5 other engineers before hand? If not, then I don't really see your point. Take the car for a test drive before you buy it.
Also, I want to hear the awesome mix that you did. Put your money where your mouth is. If you're going to come onto this board and try to pick a fight with specialists that do this for a living, at least prove that you have a set of balls and show us your brilliance. I'm willing to bet you will be picked apart in a matter of seconds. Until you can prove that you did some brilliant work, you're just a jackass with 4 posts and no credentials.
