“... The Best Cure for a Bad Mix is a Great Song!”
April 13, 2004, 04:59 pmI've been recording a lot lately and reading about effects/EQ/whatnot and I came across this article on mixing that brought up a really interesting point:
Palmer states simply: “The song is, and will always be, king. It's funny that as we increase sampling rates and bit rates in the recording side of music, the public is moving the other way and downgrading from CD to MP3. They are showing us they really care about the songs, artists, and performances. That is not an excuse for poor production and mixing, but a reminder about what makes someone want to own a piece of music. Sometimes I feel we miss the point. Don't forget that the best cure for a bad mix is a great song!”
