It's funny.

For most really good engineers mixing is second nature. It's not something they think about. It's like a top chef who runs a big kitchen, in a big restaurant, in a big city. They can think about the gear because they really don't have to think about their mixing.

For guys who aren't the best, such as me, someone who is still perfecting workflow and mix dissection as well as being able to add your own sonic signature. The gear excuse can get in the way of learning how to impose our will on the mix.

I do feel like the truth gets muffled in the debate here sometimes. Especially when it comes to converters and clocks.
