Re: Why is mixing considered...


There are several reasons that the mix engineer is considered the "pinnacle" of what we do.  First, it is the job that leads to "hanging out with the band".  This is pretty silly, but for a 22 year old guy it makes a difference when they see pics of Dave Rat surfing with Flea.  Second, the mix engineer gets paid the most.  I'm sure there are exceptions, but I don't think there are many system techs making $7k+ a week.  Then there are bonuses.
