[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 19314, member: 67"] Re: Speaking of Varsity Hi Bruce- One of my chief complaints, as a guy who started as a mixerperson and is now a system engineer, is that too many BEs lack fundamental understanding of mixing music. On the soon-locked FUDforums at PSW, Phil Graham had a forum sticky on "How to Mix" that he quit writing when it didn't generate responses. It seems folks would rather talk about gear or system techniques (sub woofer arrays are popular these days). Perhaps it's because mixing, per se, is a technique that depends on an individuals talents, experiences, intuition and training; i.e. it's very subjective. The written and spoken explanations of subjective listening are not especially adequate, either, but in our text-based existence we do our best, eh? Gear is about numbers and things that can usually be measured and quantified. It's that "other side of the brain" thing. That all said, I suspect a blog (available on this site) might be a better tool than using a forum topic. You can use the forums to post pointers back to the blog, and IIRC the blogs here allow imbeded video players. That might be one way to escape the limitations of the word - present the audio. To some extent, the RecPit forums on PSW did that with project tracks. Users could download a zip file containing multi-track files for DAW and mix, edit, morp and otherwise manipulate the tracks and submit the results back for comments and evaluation. How this might be done to emulate the live performance environment I leave for others to decide. Have fun, good luck.
