[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 100406, member: 158"] Re: Who's In Demand I realized after i wrote it that my first post in this thread didn't answer the question posed at all, but instead just talked about me. oops. :) i think the points you make here are excellent ones and i would concur with them. Back when i started in the biz, i knew a couple of very smart, capable sound guys who did nothing but monitors owing to the fact that, while their technical and people skills were top-notch, they had no natural 'ear' for mixing. and those are their words, not mine.
