mixing is over-rated

[blackbox]

I got the title for this thread from something you said in an earlier post....

How much are you committing to tape during tracking? ie:

Do you print your parallel drum processing such as the sansamp and ss 610 tracks? and do you print it seperately or go ahead and combine it with the original sounds?

Are you doing most of your tweaking (eq and comp) on individual instruments in the tracking stage?

Did I say that?? Hmmmm. I think what I meant is that when a song is tastefully recorded there's a wide margin in mixing that will work and not destroy the song.

I always print my FX except on the vocal. Depends on the project whether the tracks are combined. Now with PT's FX are print separately most of the time.
I'm always tweaking individual tracks, just like everybody else.
