I look at mixing much like conducting a symphony.

You direct the sections (percusion, cymbals, strings, woodwinds) with your mixer. You draw in pieces at the right time from other sources (TT/CDJ/CPU). And you conduct it all in such a way as it sounds like one homogeneous piece of music.

How you do that is just as unique as how a conductor asks the members of his orchestra to perform. Begin here, more volume, emphasis here.

In short, a conductor uses no instrument, but make no mistake he has played an all important roll in how the music is presented.

obviously has no clue of what he's talkin about..i dont waste my tiem with them

this discussion reminds me of a time i was chillin in my car with a freind of mine. We were arguin over which channel to listen to on XM radio. I wanted to listen to The System, which at the time was airing ASOT, while he wanted to listen to some other music, cant really recall.

but then he told me somethin i'll never forget, lol.

"Z, cmon, I mean your 'techno' stuff is good and all, but when you get older and have kids or whatever, what are you gona tell your kids you listened to? Techno. I don't think so man. I mean cmon, you gotta lisn to other stuff, good stuff, like The Fray."

LOL, i'm laughin just thinkin about it. Two things worried me about that conversation
1) What I listen to is far from 'techno'...
and
2) To consider The Fray worthy of my musical will & testimony FRIGHTENS me.
