The Happy Place

There are days when I question why I do what I do. Then there are days when I question how I could ever do anything else.
There is a magic in mixing music. When everything comes together in a fantastic song and it moves you in such a way that the song imbeds itself into the mind of the listener forever.  To think, I have a role in that. Incredible.
It’s so easy to get wrapped up in gear and techniques, when really…it’s all about the song. Everything else is just there to make the job easier.
There is a moment in mixing, when all of the elements have gelled together and the song seems to take on a life of it’s own. A living-breathing song that moves you. That’s the happy place. Live for it.  Do your best to connect with the music and bring out the life of every song that you are privileged to mix.
