During the 7ish years I worked as an assistant engineer at a commercial recording studio, I had the privilege of working alongside and learning from some of the greatest producers and engineers alive. I learned a ton from them, from how to mic up drums to how to compress and EQ a vocal and so much more. Yet one of the most important lessons I learned wasn't quite one I ever would have guessed. It came when I was assisting Joe Blaney, the producer and engineer behind bands such as the Ramones, Beastie Boys, Prince, and my absolute favorite band, The Clash. When he was telling me stories about working with The Clash, something started to click in my mind, something that would completely transform the way I approached every recording and every mix I've done since that day, something that made my mixes more impactful, emotional, and a whole lot less boring.

Who made that comment about “…pay more attention to how a song feels is Greg Scott from Kush Audio in his Mixing After Dark series of videos

[@BetterMixes]

Ah, yes! That's it. Thank you!

[@fevgatos]

So true! It's like Weezers cult classic "Pinkerton", they had the legendary Ric Ocasek (The Cars) producing their first iconic album (blue) and on their 2nd album were like "lets self-produce this" It was HATED by critics and fans back then but now its considered as an indie-garage masterpiece! I would love to see you making a lesson/tutorial on how to re-create the drum/bass/guitar tones of Pinkerton :D

[@BetterMixes]

Absolutely! It's all about the vibe! And that could be a fun video to do! I love the raw energy on that album.

Excellent advice!!! by the way, just curious, did Sam Guaiana mention which Silverstein song was he talking about?

[@BetterMixes]

Thanks! And I don't remember off the top of my head, but I think it was a URM video on KZbin, so if you just search Sam Guaiana Silverstein Guitars, it'll probably come up.
