It is always fun to hear how other people work, because it is something I almost NEVER get to be around for.
We should have a mix summit!

Cool thread, and I would love such a summit...

As far as not having "recall sheets" go ( and I assume that applies to non-ITB mixes), do some of you take Polaroids of the board and/or rack, anyway?

I mix with olive juice.

There kind of was one at TapeOp Con last year. Another good reason for everyone to go.

YES YES YES TapeOpCon is a great place to discuss and see this stuff!

Thanks to everyone for their input. The session went really smoothly and was a lot of fun. It was a mellow three days, we knocked out ten songs, the client was happy, the house engineer said he might be bringing me in to help him on future projects, and I learned a lot.

Now that I'm preparing for an in the box mix today, I'm pretty bummed there won't be a mixing board in front of me. Of course it might also be that it won't specifically be that nice, big Trident, the LA-2, 1176's, TubeTech, Summit, and Allen Smart compressors, or the Neve eq's that'll also be missing.
