Love the way Richard hands out the final judgement, "if they want to change the mix, they need to be there when the mix happens". Stern response to how much bullshit should an engineer take, the way audio is approached in almost every production that is not pure audio (theater, films etc) has always been abysmal, now it is ever worse.. How many times it has been said in post "the audio is crap" when during pre and production, it has never even come up, boom guy is always in the way. Until post. KZbin is one place where you can see 4k cameras and no broadcasting standard respected in audio. Too loud, too low, fluctuations, no lo cut used, no one ever checked low end rumble, edited it on a workstation with crappy pc speaker set, never used reference material, checked what levels competition uses etc... Basic stuff. Sound is in trouble in more ways than music production. Of course, expectations are greater, we do have better gear and getting adequeate sound is a touch of a button. Getting good sound still takes same skills it always has but it isn't respected.
