Chris Huff
05/11 03:17 PM,
This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. One of the hardest parts of our job is mixing sub-optimal sounds.

Don’t misunderstand me…I’m not saying I demand professional level musicianship from the band. I’m saying there are times when they need to be better. Let’s back up… Recently, some articles have been focused not on the technical…
