Oh, by the way, that threat should be moved to your forum and continued from where it was left: http://gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?t=90774

Elliott Scheiner for Richard Pages record "Shelter Me" which in my opinion is the best sounding record I've ever heard

I found this record on Rhapsody and I have to say that there are some good songs so far and the record does sound great. One thing I noticed though is the bass seems a little shy and I'm listening with a sub... I noticed this on some of the Steely Dan stuff, so maybe that's just Elliot's style... I do think he's great though. Oh yeah, if that isn't Stevie Wonder playing harmonica on the first song, then I'm a monkey's uncle.... either that or someone seriously copied him.

Matt Grondin · 3rd February 2007, 03:51 AM

Oh yeah, favorite mixers:

Andy Wallace fo sho (Buckley, Heather Nova, Rage, Nirvana, so many more)
Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Aimee Mann, etc.)
Steve MacMillan (SEAL!!!!!!!!! Some of my favorite stuff ever)
Kevin Killen (Peter Gabriel... my all time favorite vocalist and "So" is the bomb)

That's it for now. Drawing a blank.

marcan · 3rd February 2007, 10:58 AM

SPIKE: Massive Attack, Bjork, Fischerpooner, Madonna, KLF, Keane, Gwen Stefani, Goldfrapp ... and probably the next Radiohead.

Lots of people who mixed for Trevor Horn so Steve MacMillan, Stephen Lipson, Tim Weidner, Julian Mendelson... They probably had a very good raw material but they wasn't there by chance...

Clearly we can see the American taste with CLA, TLA, Andy W., Bob Clearmountain, Dr Dre, ...
and the british taste with Mark spike stent, T. Horn mixers, Chris Allison, Alan Moulder, ...
I prefer the british style

Roy Thomas Baker ...by far.

Tony Montana · 23rd April 2007, 02:08 PM

Out of interest, what is the going rate for a top rated mixer these days? e.g. the names mentioned in this thead (Stent, Brauer etc.)...

Per song is it somewhere between $5000 and $12000? Or do I have it completely wrong?

Just curious.

andsonic · 23rd April 2007, 09:03 PM

My list covers many, many of the above.
I just want to second two things above:
1) "Woman in Chains" has me coming back to that CD all the time even tho I'm not a big fan of "Seeds of Love".

2) Tom Petty's Wildflowers is definately my desert island #1 album. Major, major props to the production team on that one. It's a shame it didn't get the grammy that year (thanks, Alanis. We love you anyway). Wildflowers, IMHOP, deserves a place as one of the best albums of all time.
(Gee, I sound like a fan)

3) All on my own. I just need to throw Hank Shocklee into the mix. I think he defines a sound.

skatetohate94 · 28th May 2007, 10:52 PM

andy wallace because the strokes "first impressions of earth" in my opinion i thought sounded really good.
and jerry finn really fond of the stuff he does

vixapphire · 29th May 2007, 12:31 AM

was just listening to "UP" by Shania yesterday in the car. I've always thought that was one of the best-sounding pop albums of our time. It's got an awful lot of programmed drums and keyboard/Rompler arrangements, but no more so than did "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard, considered by many an epic of the hard rock genre. Very nicely mixed album by a first-rate crew.

Flood.

84K · 29th May 2007, 01:45 PM

I love rock. For me, there is Andy Wallace and then there is everyone else. Andy is the man. His work blows my mind.

Digitar · 27th March 2008, 11:03 PM

Andy Wallace - There's beauty in simplicity

Mike Shipley - There's beauty in complexity

Bob Clearmountain - There's beauty in the song

and honorable mention
Charles Dye - There's beauty in a helpful soul

**TonyBelmont** · 27th March 2008, 11:15 PM

An old thread revived... But, let me put in a good word for JIMMY DOUGLASS!

Geosync · 27th March 2008, 11:56 PM

Maybe because he's the 1st major engineer I was exposed to....

Tom Dowd R.I.P.

Spencypants · 28th March 2008, 01:16 AM

Ken Scott, Daniel Lanois, Flood, Geoff Emerick, Norman Smith, Roy Thomas Baker, Shawn Cole among many others.
