Why does no one mix* worth a shit anymore?
It's funny, because this actually raises a point that is always in the back of my mind when these discussion invariably arise, that of what is pleasing to the ear. Fidelity has increased measurably, but that isn't what makes something pleasing necessarily. The way in which a lot of old gear distorted the sound was actually what made it so appealing (I realize you know this, this is just talking to the group), old Neve saturation, how tape knocked of the highs, etc.. I find delicious irony in the proliferation of saturation plugins to mimic the shortcomings of old gear. Of course the ease of working digital is a big selling point, but I still get a chuckle when I think about it.

Why does no one mix* worth a shit anymore?
I was actually having this conversation a few weeks ago, maybe on Gear Page, maybe gearspace, can't remember, but either way, it used to be you recorded with "the" console. Which to me gives a unified sound. I am sympathetic to the argument that you can use different flavors for different things, but it's just not my preferred way of working. That said, I do have a few 1073s, 4 Daking, 4 API 512s myself, so I guess I'm not immune. IIRC Paul had a rack of outboard 1073s? Anyhoo, you forgot the greatest, the Trident A Range.

Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?

Sir, this is a Wendy's.- Why does no one mix* worth a shit anymore?
I'm not sure where you are getting that from, mixing is at a higher level now than it's ever been. You are probably talking more about stylistic choices, though I believe that the peak loudness war has probably passed. Just off the top of my head, go listen to the latest Chris Stapleton album. Vance Powell did an amazing job.- Can we talk about The Yardbirds?
Very rapidly, it seems.- Pink Floyd
I think Guy has played more Pink Floyd on bass than Roger at this point.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
Yep, sames.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
Eh. Breed was a decent song. The only thing that would have made In Utero decent was leaving the Albini mix- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
Cobain was done done before In Utero even came out. I'm not sure I've ever been more disappointed in a release than that album.- The Guitar Pron Thread

The weirdest thing about this argument you guys are having is it's predicated on the assumption that Twitter is relevant to, well, anything, anymore.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
I totally agree with this. Whether it would be anything worthwhile is where my doubts lie.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
I feel like there's two different conversations going on here.- Trump’s America
I mean, can get behind this fanfic, but nah.- Trump’s America

This is 100% a thing. Both Steve Bannon and Elizabeth Warren's entire careers are predicated on deep psychoses from a perception their fathers were hard done by.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
I've definitely come to be of the opinion Syd was going that way regardless. The acid didn't help matters but he was not built for spotlight- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
Buckley is definitely one I could get behind.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
Yeah Mike Watt is one of the best guys ever. Born in same town as me as well, Portsmouth Va.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
So upon reflection, three that I would like to have seen where they went musically. 1. Brian Jones. He had more unique sounds in his head than anyone else I've ever heard of. 2. D Boon. The Minutemen were one of the most talented bands in history. They would have stretched way beyond punk rock with a Dylanesque impact I think. 3. Robert Johnson. Mostly to see if he was as legit as his legend. Man, we are on the same plane. I was furiously debating Parsons a minute ago.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
I mean, I love Hendrix, not like I'm arguing that. But I think most of these people listed had already done what they were gonna do.- Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
I honestly think Hendrix had burned out. Not to say he wouldn't have put out some good music, but by all accounts he was getting pretty spent creatively. I don't think we would have gotten anything earth shattering from him. - Led Zeppelin
