It really is hard to generalize about this stuff. I saw him produce a record one time. He did the weirdest thing: when it came time to mix, he got a pair of good headphones, set up a little table in front of a picture window out in the studio, opened up a good bottle of red wine, and sat there looking out over the Hill Country, sipping wine, and listening to the mix progress over the phones. It finally dawned on me what he was doing- he was removing himself from the process so that all he could be aware of was the mix itself. Brilliant, really.
