Re: Slate Trigger 2 on sale and I have the presets.

['Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility]

I completely agree and we get a great live sound which is a selling 
point out here. The real shame of it is that we do so much cookie cutter 
pop and rock that everything has a deadline of yesterday. Honestly the 
pop genre doesn't even care about what a mix sounds like as long as it's 
loud and on time. Last year we worked with members of the Stones, Police 
and Talking Heads and I couldn't believe that even they cared less about 
the mix and just wanted quick product. One day this 75 year old producer 
was working with a big pop artist. He was an AM radio guy in the early 
70's who mixed almost everything back then. I was using the Trident 
board and he directed a comment towards me which was "Jesus, are you the 
only one that knows how to use a board in here?" Everyone else was doing 
digital stuff around me while they were shooting a video and I really 
thought about what's happening in music these days. His comment rang 
true to the fact that many studios don't even have analog boards 
anymore. We still have a 2" machine and I think anyone under the age of 
30 thinks that's super retro and always want to know how analog stuff 
works. In the past 5 years or more I've never done a complete analog 
session where at least some part isn't rendered digitally either for 
mixing or mastering purposes. That is very sad to think about. As fun as 
it is to edit 50 takes together, automate, use plugins, amp simulators 
etc, there's still a lot to be said for teaching young engineers that 
not everything has to sound like what's on pop radio. The money and 
greed is what keeps that side of the business going.
