FOLLOW THE MONEY.... BUSINESS IS THE KEY WORD IN "MUSIC BUSINESS".... FOLLOW THE MONEY

FROM A MIXING STANDPOINT, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER BRINGING THE BASS UP A LITTLE IN THE MIX.. I FOUND IT TO BE IN-AUDIBLE.. LESS 'VERB' ON THE RIM-SHOT.. SOUNDED VERY GOOD.. I RUN 24 TRACK/16 BUSS, PRO-TOOLS.. I GO DIRECT ON ALL THAT I CAN.. I PREFER LITTLE OR NO EQ, OR EFFECTS WHILE "PRINTING TO TAP...

I HAVE DRIVEN A TRACTOR-TRAILER OVER THE ROAD FOR THE BETTER PART OF 38 YEARS TO SUPPORT MY "MUSIC HABIT".. I DO 'OPEN' TRAILERS, AS IN FLST-BED.. MOST OF MY WORK IN THE PAST IS IN THE HEAVEY-HAUL CATEGORY AS I DELIVER LARGE OFF-ROAD CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT OR WIND ENERGY.. NOW I TRANSPORT ...
