I try to impress on everyone who interns for me: there is very little in the way of "standards" or "rulebooks" to guide you. Every decision you make, about everything, is pretty much a subjective choice... which mic to use, where to put it, how much gain, settings on the safety compressor?

I like to think this is "different" from other fields, maybe yes, maybe no, but I have to believe that there's a "right" way to mix portland cement and lime and sand together to build a brick wall, it's not all contingent on what venue the brick wall is performing at, how many players in the brick wall, how big is the brick wall's drumkit....

It's all about results, and recipes and formulae won't ever get you where you need to go.
