Lei: ti amo e voglio stare con te!!
Lui: certo, ma prima devi capire cosa vuoi da noi due...
Lei: ti ho detto che voglio stare con te perché ti amo!!
Lui: dai cerca di pensarci bene perché non mi sembri convinta...

Il mixaggio.

<<dopo una serie di interessanti seminari e scambi di opinione privati con la crema dell'audio engineering mondiale (Michael Brauer, Tom Elmhirst, Manny Marroquin, Chris Coady, Andy Wallace) mi vedo confermate idee ed opinioni riguardo alla maniera corretta di affrontare il mixaggio, e riporto le linee fondamentali COMUNI a tutti i sopraelencati guru:
1) le macchine sono utili, l'uomo è indispensabile. 
2) un mix si chiude in 8/10 ore al massimo.
3) Le decisioni vanno prese in mix, non si demanda niente al mastering. Nemmeno vocal up o vocal down.
4) no gear sluts, no studio geek. Non esiste pensare in termini di frequenze, herz, decibel, marche e modelli. Il mix deve vivere, emozionare, suonare, la differenza fra un grande mixatore ed un tecnico del suono sta proprio nella maniera di pensare (o, meglio, NoN pensare) un mix.
5) Ear breaks. fondamentali. Per ogni ora di mix deve corrispondere una pausa di perlomeno 15 minuti.>>

"Sugar Mountain"

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

It's so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

There's a girl just down the aisle,
Oh, to turn and see her smile.
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

Now you're underneath the stairs
And you're givin' back some glares
To the people who you met
And it's your first cigarette.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

Now you say you're leavin' home
'Cause you want to be alone.
Ain't it funny how you feel
When you're findin' out it's real?

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
with the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.
