I was working on mixing down a song we did a few years ago, and I just couldn’t get it working.
I do this stuff for fun now that I have more free time, and I enjoy playing with different techniques in the studio that I wouldn’t be able to do live. I had been working on the mix for quite a while, and it wasn’t happening.

It's always interesting to see articles posted on here that are relating to the sound department, especially having just come out of the Sound mini in my stagecraft class at the end of this semester. I also feel that sometimes the sound department in not only Carnegie Mellon, but at a lot of other schools too kind of just gets pushed to the wayside. Recently in sound class, sometime around last week or so, my class had the opportunity to meet with the A2 for the Book of Mormon while the show was in town. He told us extensively about the mixing process for the show and showed us the videos of the previous mixer mixing some of the most complicated musical numbers in the entire production that he had to learn from in just about two weeks or so. To be honest, before seeing those videos I had no idea how difficult and intense sound mixing can be, and the attention to detail and dexterity that must be had for this skill. Granted my main experience with any sort of mixing was on a two person show in the Rauh in which the body mics got cut about two days into tech anyway, so it's not like I had much to go off of. I wish that this article had actually gone into more specifics of sound mixing and what to listen for when mixing a choir.
