Tell me your unbalanced mix horror stories and the like!

How you solved the problems etc...

Are you mainly *Correcting* or *Shaping* perhaps both ( which is what I do BTW)


Discuss please!>>>
Hmmmm.... the horror, the horror.... I think it would be fun to talk about the tricks that we could not do 10-15 years ago. It is important to say would probably sound better if we could return the mix to the mix engineer for a remix. But nevertheless, when a remix is not possible or practical, we have some clever ways of...

Rebalancing bass drum versus bass instrument to some degree

Restoring presence and high end to an old, worn analog tape while simultaneously controlling a harsh-sounding vocalist!

Simultaneously warming up AND giving presence to a mix that needs both!

Next chance I have to post I'll talk about some of the methods I've used for these "eq tricks".
