Comments
I think every song and every audio engineer is different. And that is the beauty of this. We don't need computer programs to do the mixing and mastering... That would kill the creativity behind a song. And this occupation is full of emotions. The artist puts his/her emotions into the song. The mixing engineer receieves them and puts a little bit of him/herself into the final "product".
I don't want songs to sound nearly the same all the time...
So I will constantly fight against automation in this field!
Please don't take my dream job away!!!
