" Just put a 57 on an amp and if the amp sounds good, you're fine." That's a big statement. What do you mean "if the amp sounds fine". How do you know? In the context of what, the song the player, the mix? Where exactly do you stick the 57? Do you look or listen? What are you listening for?

A decision that takes a mere 30 seconds to employ, might have taken 20 years of experience to be able to make that decision. So if you think these are just a bunch of guys running a monkey show "who happen to have talent", you would be mistaken.
you are mistaken ol chap.
you guys get "too" into it.
so what are you saying? that he is a genius?
they are a bunch of guys running a monkey show. to some extent. thats probably why they take years to make an album.
or maybe im wrong.

why has nigel never done an interview? i mean a proper audio interview.
he is either:
1) trying to create a mystique around him
2) trying to hide his haphazard skills and come across as more talented than he is.
3) is incredibly shy

For the record, i love the guy. He my fav producer in the whole F***in world.

He gets results. thats the bottom line.
